Chapter 116
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 116 Edgar frowned at the diamond in the box, âWhy canât she just take it back and let Pinky play with it?â
Edwin shot back, âAnd what if Pinky swallows it? Star would have a fit!â
Farrah rolled her eyes Who would treat a diamond worth a fortune as a dog toy?
Just how loaded was Astridâs family?
Astrid watched the two bicker, and her dishke for them grew She decided not to go home with Edgar and Edwin, instead, she turned and walked towards the Porsche 918 her father had arranged to pick her up.
Watching Astrid leave, Colton spun in circles, clutching Jonâs arm and shaking. âCan you take me to find Astrid?â
Coltonâs behavior baffled Jon. Sometimes he seemed to be playing dumb; sometimes, he seemed genuinely dumb. He thought it best to calm him down and have Star check on him later.
He couldnât take Colton home and told Edgar, âThis is Astridâs friend. You two need to take good care of him. If anything goes wrong, youâre toast.â
Edgar dragged Colton into the car. âAlright, letâs go have some fun!â Surprisingly, Colton didnât object.
Farrah wanted to join them, but Jon closed the car door, âFarrah, arenât you familiar with this place? Go have fun on your own. Our way of having fun might not suit you.â
The roar of the car engine echoed, and it quickly disappeared from Farrahâs sight.
Left behind, Farrah was fuming, but the thought of Colton building a good relationship with Astridâs family cooled her anger.
Over the years, she had kept a tight leash on Colton. She didnât believe he would cause trouble just by being away from her for a while.
Two hours later, Astrid finally arrived home.
When she exited the car, her father came running up, âStar, give Daddy a kiss; Daddy missed you!â
Astrid was speechless when she looked at her animated father. Her brother had told her their father was unwell, but he didnât look sick at all...

ï¤Chapter 4596 âStop it; youâre too old for this,â Astrid said, disgustingly pushing her father away. âDad, Iâve told you many times to take your high blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol seriously. Iâve told you to cut down on fatty foods and alcohol, yet youâre still overweight.â
Her father touched his belly, looking embarrassed. âOverweight? Who said Iâm overweight? I weighed myself this morning,â and Iâm down a pound.ââ
Astrid just stared at him.
Was he seriously bragging about losing such a small amount of weight?
âStar, thereâs something I want to discuss with you,â her father said, lobking sly. âHawthorne isnât doing well. Could you visit him? He wants to see you.â
âIâm not going,â Astrid said, pressing her lips together. She looked at the old man and said, âYou didnât pretend to be sick to get me to come back, did you?â
The older man looked embarrassed as he rubbed his hands together, forcing a laugh. âYou know your father and Hawthorneâs dad were war buddies, and I watched him grow up. I canât bear to...
âAnd besides,â he added, âheâs your fiancé.â
