Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

She stood up, looked at Elio, and said softly, “I’m heading out first, Mr. Lampard.”

As Astrid walked towards the door, just as she opened her umbrella, she heard Elio’s voice, “Astrid, hold on; I have something to say.” Astrid stopped and turned to look at him.

Elio, looking into her clear eyes, finally gathered enough courage to speak his mind, “Marry me.”

Marry him?

Astrid’s eyes widened in surprise.

She had not been oblivious to Elio’s feelings towards her.

But he skipped over confessions, dating, and movie watching and jumped straight to proposing?

And he doesn’t even have a proposal ring; is he being too hasty?

“No way.” Astrid shook her head firmly, “I’m not marrying you.”

“Why?”

Astrid raised an eyebrow, “I don’t fancy you. Why would I marry you?”

With that, Astrid gave Elio a disdainful glance, picked up her umbrella, and walked away.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Heaven was fair and made Elio a man with perfect looks who didn’t understand romance.

This way of pursuing a girl is simply unacceptable.

Elio turned his head and saw Roman standing there, laughing at him.

Carson was very puzzled, “Chief, why would you propose to her like that? It makes you seem insincere.”

Elio didn’t answer. He just walked over, picked up Roman, and left.

He wasn’t really proposing; he just wanted to test Astrid’s feelings.

Astrid’s mind was hard to understand; she always kept a distance from him. How would he know what she thought if he didn’t try?
