Chapter 124
Elio didn’t expect the old man’s words to hit so hard and straight.
So, he didn’t beat around the bush anymore.
He directly said, “Sir, I want to…”
“What do you want? Don’t overthink!” Magee rudely interrupted Elio’s words, walked up, grabbed Astrid
by the hand, dragged her back into the house, and closed the door.
Roman stepped on Elio’s foot in annoyance: “It’s all your fault, I could have spent the night with Astrid!”
Elio didn’t know how to reply.
He really didn’t expect Magee to have such a hot temper.
A few seconds later, the door was suddenly opened again.
Magee walked out.

up, picked up Roman with one hand and tucked him under his arm, then quickly went back to the villa,
leaving him alone.
The scene was kind of heartbreaking.
A few servants not far away saw this, wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.
After a while, the old butler slowly walked over and politely said, “Mr. Lampard, our master is just like
this. Among all Astrid’s suitors, his attitude towards you is already quite good. The previous ones were
practically chased away with shoes and fishing rods.”
Hearing these words, Elio felt a little better.
The old butler continued, “Don’t blame him, after all, Astrid left his side shortly after she was born, and
he just found her not long ago, naturally, he wouldn’t want to marry off his daughter so quickly…Mr.
Lampard, let me take you to the villa next door to rest, it’s been cleaned during the day.” “Can you tell
me why Astrid left him in the first place?” Elio asked softly.
The old butler hesitated for a moment, “This is a private matter of the Brooke family, I’m not allowed to
talk about it, please.” Elio: “Um, thank you.”
Elio stayed alone in the big villa, feeling cold and empty.
While Roman and Magee had a blast at home.

Roman hadn’t had such a great time in a long time, and he didn’t fall asleep in Magee’s arms until
around midnight.
Magee carefully put Roman in the room, then quietly walked out, went to Astrid and asked, “Star, how
did you meet this kid?”
Astrid frowned slightly, then drained the red wine in her glass, “I picked him up.”
“Picked up?” Magee couldn’t believe it and widened his eyes, “Where can you find such a lovely kid to

Astrid: “…”
“Dad knows you like kids, I get along well with this kid, so…” Magee grinned, “I decided to take him out
fishing on a yacht tomorrow!”
Astrid felt a headache coming on.
“By the way, Star, how long will you stay this time?” As Magee changed the subject, he quietly picked
up the wine glass to pour more wine.
But before his hand could touch the bottle, the glass was taken away by Astrid.
Astrid gave him a helpless look and reprimanded softly, “You’re drinking with your blood pressure so
high, you don’t care about your health when I’m here, who will take care of you when I’m not?”
“This… isn’t it because I’m happy that you’re back? I want to drink a little when I’m happy…” Magee
looked at the girl in front of him and sighed softly, “Star, how did your talk with the Cliff family’s kid go
today?”
“Not so great.” As she spoke, Astrid poured herself another glass of wine.
