Chapter 228
The moment Amanda saw Astrid, a grin popped up on her face. She quickly walked over and grabbed
Astrid’s hand, “Astrid, I’ve missed you!”
“Oh, by the way. I got you this skincare product. I heard you’ve been pulling some all–nighters filming,
so take this.”
After pushing the makeup into Astrid’s hands, Amanda dug into her bag again and pulled out lipstick.
“Astrid, this shade will look great on you!”
Astrid took a look, and sure enough, it was her favorite color. Without any pretense, she accepted it,
“Thank you, I love it!”
Elio stood at the door with a cold expression on his face as he watched Amanda unload gift after gift

“Your gift?” Amanda seemed taken aback before casually pointing to a cake next to her, “That’s it; I
specially pre–ordered it over the phone!” Specially pre–ordered?
The difference in Amanda’s treatment of Astrid and Elio was glaring.
He started to question if he was even part of the Lampard family.
“Amanda, this is for you!” Astrid pulled out a golden card from her bag and handed it to Amanda,
Amanda covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the card, “A Mona Lisa Beauty International
supreme VIP gold card? Oh my god, Astrid, are you sure this is for me?”
Astrid nodded, “Yeah, I had this card made specifically with your information. From now on, any beauty
service you want is free.”
“I love you so much!” Amanda launched herself at Astrid for a hug, then started to berate Elio and
Matthew Lampard.
“Astrid is the only one who treats me right. All these years, Matthew has never given me a nice gift. He
even said my makeup makes me look like a wicked witch!
“And Elio, just like his dad, said my trips to the beauty salon are a waste!”
“Astrid is the best. She even got me a gold card from the world–famous Mona Lisa Beauty
International.”
As she spoke, Amanda shot Elio and Matthew a glare, “Hmph, men!”
Elio and Matthew fell silent.
Women were such a hassle.
Roman Lampard had been standing to the side for a while before saying, “I got you a gift too!”
Upon hearing this, Astrid bent down and asked with a smile, “What gift did you prepare for me?”

Roman then planted a quick kiss on Astrid’s cheek, “I want to give you a sweet kiss.”
“Haha.” Astrid thought Roman was adorable. She hugged him tightly and showered him with kisses,
Roman giggled from the affection while Elio’s desire to kick these three out grew stronger.
But it could only be a wish. Kicking them out was out of the question.
And just like that… his candlelit dinner turned into a family dinner.
And then…
Roman stayed nestled in Astrid’s arms from start to finish, which infuriated Elio.
Amanda grew fonder of Astrid as the night went on. After dinner, she whispered to Astrid, “Astrid, it’s
my birthday this weekend. You have to come. If you don’t, I won’t celebrate my birthday!”
“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll be there on time.” After saying goodbye to Amanda, Elio took Astrid home.
Like a loyal sidekick, Roman trailed behind her all the way to her house.
