Chapter 233
“Astrid, do you really know Elio? What would you do if one day the mother of his child came back?”
Hawthorne asked Astrid, his expression unreadable. Astrid just smiled, “You don’t need to worry about
me. No matter how tough the road I chose is, I’ll stick to it.”
“There won’t be any difficulty on this road, only love.” Elio said, causing Astrid’s heart to flutter.
Hawthorne said nothing and just clenched his fists.
At Amanda’s birthday party, not only family members, but a few good friends were invited too.
After making her rounds to greet everyone, Amanda immediately went to find Astrid. Seeing Astrid
holding Roman, she said sympathetically, “Roman, you’re so heavy! Come, let Daddy hold you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t want to!” Roman refused, hugging Astrid tighter and resting his head on her shoulder. “My
tummy hurts. I need Astrid to hold me to feel better.” Elio and Amanda were both taken aback by his
behavior.
Who knew Roman could be such a little rascal?
Astrid, who loved it when Roman clung to her, quickly reassured Amanda, “Don’t worry, I work out; I
can handle Roman’s weight.”
“Oh dear, you’re going to spoil him rotten.” Amanda chuckled before grabbing Astrid’s arm to introduce
her to everyone, “This is Astrid, my son’s girlfriend. She’s amazing; she already has a Ph.D. at such a
young age, and she’s a magic champion!”
“She’s also an actress and going to be very successful in the future!”
The rich ladies all listened with smiles, constantly greeting Astrid.
Amanda looked incredibly proud, as if Astrid was her own daughter.
In the distance, Farrah Fortner was enjoying a drink with someone. Hearing the commotion, she turned
around.
Her gaze hardened upon seeing Astrid.
If it weren’t for Astrid’s meddling, her son, Colton Fortner would’ve been dead by now. With Colton
dead, she could’ve been the sole heiress of the corporation.
She initially planned to establish a connection with Astrid’s family through Colton, but he disappeared
out of the blue.
She couldn’t find him anywhere.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Colton was missing, he kept updating his social media, which meant he was still alive.
As long as Colton was alive, even if he was an idiot, he was the heir to the Fortner family.
She despised Astrid and had sent people to assassinate her several times, hoping to find Colton’s
whereabouts, but her men were always intercepted by the guards around Astrid’s home.
Eventually, she didn’t dare act rashly.
She heard Elio had someone he liked, but she never expected it to be Astrid.
Farrah watched Astrid for a while, then walked over with her drink and a smile, “Astrid, who’d have
thought we’d meet again? What a small world. You were so close to becoming my daughter–in–law!”
The moment she spoke, the lively room went quiet.
A lady curiously asked, “Farrah, what did you mean by that? Ms. Irvine is so talented; surely she
wouldn’t marry your clumsy son?”
