Chapter 471


    "Astrid... Astrid..." His voice was a soft whisper in her ear, over and over again, "Astrid, can you forgive


    me?"


    His breath tickled her ear, making her shiver slightly.


    "Let me go first," she suggested.


    Elio simply responded, "I won''t."


    Astrid remained silent. Initially, Elio was apprehensive, worried that Astrid would push him away as she


    usually did. However, her reaction was unexpected. Could this be a sign of some sort?


    The hope ignited a spark of excitement in Elio, prompting him to scoop her up in his arms.


    Astrid didn''t resist or push him away, instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, which caught


    him off guard.


    Astrid looked at him with a twinkle in her eye, "Shall we shower first?"


    "Sure." Elioplied, gently setting her down. However, he couldn''t shake off a nagging feeling that


    something was off.


    They had two bathrooms in their home. Elio had just finished his bath when Astrid walked in.


    The moment she entered, she turned off the bedroom lights and said, "Lie down and don''t move."


    Elio wasn''t sure what Astrid was up to, but he decided to y along.


    In the darkness, he could feel her getting onto the bed and slowly moving closer to him. His heart


    began to race, every second was torturous.


    Her hand gently rested on his chest, causing him to shudder.


    His body was burning with desire, his voice hoarse, "Astrid..."


    "Elio, would you like an orange?" Astrid asked, holding up a slice of orange towards Elio.


    Elio was suspicious, but his desire for her overpowered his judgement, and he leaned in to kiss her.


    The moment their lips met, Eliopletely lost control.


    In that instant, Astrid pushed him away andughed, "Elio, do you want it?"


    Elio replied, "Astrid, stop teasing..." He tried to pull her back into his arms, but his body suddenly


    became weak and he slumped onto the bed.


    He should have been wiser! She had tricked him! Her odd behavior had been a red g, yet he


    ultimately walked right into her snare.


    Astrid exited the room humming a tune, her steps light and her face beaming.


    How could she let him have his way with her just like that? Normal couples start with holding hands,


    hugging, watching movies, kissing. But him? He was already trying to sleep with her just because she


    was being nice to him?!


    Damn men! Ugh.


    Elio, lying on the bed, was filled with regret. He should have known that the orange was a trap, but he

    was too smitten to suspect anything.


    Only she could make him act so foolishly.


    Elio wanted to sleep, but he was wide awake. He couldn''t move or even turn over.


    He didn''t know what kind of drug Astrid had given him, but it was making him more and more awake.


    He didn''t know what time it was, only that it was veryte, but he was not sleepy at all.


    "Your eyes are as wide as saucers!" Astrid sang leisurely as she walked into the room. She slipped into


    the bed next to him, stretched out her leg, and casually draped it over his.


    She then rubbed her foot against his leg.


    The desire that Elio had barely managed to suppress red up again, "Astrid, stop teasing."


    "Elio, do you know what you did wrong today?" Astrid propped her chin on her hand and looked at him


    seriously.
