Chapter 23

Elios sudden proximity took Astrid by surprise

His breath invaded her personal space, and Astrid stood rigid, feeling awkward

But Elio just stood there in the same pose, not saying a word. His brow furrowed at the memory of

Astrid playing cards with Colton. She was always anxious around him, but she could laugh so freely in

front of Colton Did she hate him being near that much? “Why do you hate me so much?” Ello suddenly

asked.

Astrid was taken aback, she hadn’t expected Ello to ask this question. She mumbled, “I don’t hate you.

Who said I hate you?”

Elio heard her perfunctory response and his tone became colder, “Then go home with me.”

Astrid blurted out, “No!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a chill envelop her and quickly explained, “I’ve already

arranged for a place with an agent. We don’t have any special relationship, it’s not appropriate for me

to stay at your place”

“What kind of relationship do you think is appropriate?” Elio’s eyebrows twitched, “Boyfriend and

girlfriend? Husband and wife? If we need a relationship to live together, we can go register for a

marriage now.” Register for marriage??? Astrid was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why would he

suddenly mention registering for marriage? Were they that close?

She was taken aback by his gaze. What the hell was he thinking? He was fine during the day, so why

had he become so weird all of a sudden? “Is this elevator too slow? Why hasn’t it reached the ground

floor after such a long time“” she thought.

She turned her head to look at the elevator button and realized that they hadn’t pressed the ground

floor after entering! The elevator was still on the 21st floor! Oh my God!!!

“Ding” The elevator door suddenly opened, and Colton appeared at the door with an innocent smile.

At this moment, Astrid felt like he was her savior. She greeted Colton Immediately, “Colton, we meet

again!”

Astrid breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since someone had entered, Ello would let her go.

As expected, Ello left her side. She let out a long sigh of relief… and moved to stand next to Colton.

This little movement made Elio frown. Since when did she become so close to Colton?

Her phone vibrated, and she saw a text message from her father, “Star, no matter what you say, I’m not

calling off the bodyguards this time. If it wasn’t for Sandra raising you for eighteen years, I could have

made her regret ever being born!”

Knowing that her father was angry, Astrid didn’t dare to say much and simply agreed, “Alright, alright.

You can arrange as many bodyguards as you like, just make sure It’s not as high–profile as before,

okay?” Half a year ago, when she first returned to Sunhaven, her dad had arranged dozens of

bodyguards for her. They would follow her everywhere she went, making her the center of attention.

After her strong brotest, her dad finally called off the bodyguards.

As for Sandra kidnapping her. It was deliberate because she needed to get close to Colton to make him

cancel the engagement. Otherwise, If this issue wasn’t resolved, Sandra would cause trouble.

The elevator finally reached the ground floor, and Astrid bolted out, disappearing in an Instant.

As soon as Colton and Elio left the elevator, Farrah approached them with a few people.

Seeing Elio, Farrah immediately smiled, “Ello, you’re here too. Your mom told me you were busy.”

Elio coldly replied, “I was passing by.”

Seeing Elio’s cold expression, Farrah dared not speak to him anymore and turned to ask Colton,

‘Where is she? Why did you come down alone?”

Colton tilted his head, recalling what Astrid had sald earlier, then solemnly said, “I don’t want to get

engaged to someone I don’t know. I want to get engaged to someone I like. I’ve let her go.”

“Let her go?” Farrah was fuming. “Colton, how could you let her go? She’s supposed to marry you!”
