Chapter 44
Astrid was calling the guy in front of her ‘bro‘, which means he must be the Jon that Carson mentioned earlier.
Elio frowned involuntarily, feeling life was getting tough for the first time.
Sometimes, one gotta play nice to win over the girl you love.
Jon barked, “I ain’t scared of getting banned! Even if I do, I’m gonna teach this guy a lesson today!”
With that, Jon threw a punch at Elio’s face!
Just as the punch was about to hit Elio’s nose, Elio dodged with slickness, grabbed Jon’s wrist, and said quietly, “Dude, it’s all a misunderstanding…” Dude?
Astrid’s eyes widened in shock. “Has he lost his marbles?” she thought.
Jon was taken aback too. “Who’s your dude? Don’t get it twisted! Weren’t you the one who just rolled up your sleeves ready to throw down? Come on, let’s have a fair fight! Never been scared of anyone in a brawl!”
Elio didn’t respond, just let go of Jon’s hand and walked into the kitchen.
His unexpected move left the other three in the room with puzzled expressions.
Astrid looked at Roman and asked quietly, “Roman, what’s your dad up to?”
Roman just shook his head, totally clueless.
Jon was a bit stunned, then shouted, “What’re you doing in the kitchen? Looking for a weapon? Come out and fight fair!”
The kitchen was silent. After a while, Elio appeared at the kitchen door, wearing Astrid’s apron and holding a fish in his hand.
He swept his cold eyes over Jon, and said slowly, “Dude, I just rolled up my sleeves to cook, do you like fish?”
Astrid. “…”
Roman grimaced. His dad was getting more shameless by the second. It was clear he was ready for a fight. He looked just like when he used to fight Lucas Lampard! Cooking… What a load of bull! Elio never set foot in the kitchen.
“Cook… cooking?” Jon clearly didn’t buy it, looking disgusted, “Stop talking nonsense, you’re shameless. You must already have kids and be married, right? Chasing after my sister while having kids, believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death!”
Elio raised his eyebrow, and patiently explained, “I’m not married.”
“I don’t care if you’re married or not. Just leave, go now! My sister is a genius, she’s too good for you!” Jon had a terrible impression of Elio and didn’t give him any chance to explain, so he just shoved him out.
Elio, with a dark face, walked towards the door, turned to Roman and said, “Roman, let’s go.”
“I’m not going!” Roman shook his head.
Jon glanced at Roman, who was clinging to Astrid’s leg. Roman quickly made a pleading gesture at Jon.
Jon, being a big fan of kids, and seeing Astrid also adored this little guy, said to Elio, “You can go, but the kid stays.”
With that, he went and shut the door.
Elio was staring at the closed door, his face growing darker. He took out his phone and dialed Carson straight away, “Carson, is there something wrong with the info you checked? Why didn’t you tell me Astrid had a brother?”
Hearing Elio’s icy voice, Carson shivered, “Mr Lampard, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the info I checked. Ms Irvine was kicked out by her foster mother four years ago and disappeared. She doesn’t have a brother.”
