Chapter 101
Mr. Lu felt bad hearing Amanda’s words, “What crazy scheme are you cooking up this time? If it weren’t
for your last hair–brained idea four and a half years ago, would their relationship be
such a mess?”
“But think about it,” the old lady countered, “without that incident, would you have a cute grandson like
Roman?”
Caught off guard, the older man was speechless. “You have a point, but their relationship isn’t set in
stone yet. If we come on too strong, we might scare the girl off, don’t you think?” “You’re not seriously
thinking about throwing your son at her?”
“Hmph,” Amanda shot her husband a disgruntled look. “I wouldn’t mind tossing both Elio and Roman

With that, Amanda strode off.
“Elio, how’s Roman doing?” Amanda asked as she walked, keeping her eyes locked on Astrid. She
hadn’t been able to get a good look from afar, but now that she was closer, she was struck by the girl’s
beauty. “Elio, who is this girl?”
Seeing Amanda, Elio’s brow furrowed, but he didn’t turn and walk bway as usual due to Astrid’s
presence. Instead, he said coolly, “Roman’s fever is going down.” “She’s Astrid, my crush.”
Hearing the term “crush,” Astrid’s eyes widened in surprise..
Crush?
Amanda, delighted, covered her mouth and laughed. “Oh wow, Astrid, where’s your house? Who’s in
your family? How old are you? What are your hobbies?”
The more the old lady looked at Astrid, the more she approved, and she started chatting away.
“You’re so pretty!”
“How far along are you two?”
“I tell you, my boy has a bad temper and zero dating experience. Other than his knack for making
money, he’s pretty useless. But he’s extremely loyal, and you’re the first girl he’s liked in all these
years!”
“You mustn’t reject him. You can train him a little; he has the potential to be a good husband!”
Elio’s mouth twitched slightly.
But he didn’t object.
Looking at the friendly Amanda, Astrid smiled, “Ma’am, you’re mistaken. Mr. Lampard and I aren’t
dating.”

understandable if you’re not into him.”
Then Amanda took Astrid’s hand and smiled, “Astrid, since this is our first meeting, I don’t have any
gifts to present to you, so consider this a small token… it’s not anything valuable; take
it…”
Astrid looked down to see that Amanda had given her a black card.
Astrid was undoubtedly not going to accept it. “I can’t accept this card.”
“It’s no use to me. Trust me, there’s not much money in it.” After the charity event, Astrid changed into
her usual clothes, which were ordinary brands. Seeing this, the old lady thought she might not have
much money.
The old lady, careful not to hurt Astrid’s pride, lowered her voice and said, “Astrid, this is Elio’s card.
Don’t you think his wife should manage his money?”
