Chapter 185
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 185 âMmâhmm.â Astrid looked into Robbâs eyes, gripping his hand. âI get what youâre saying, and I wonât rush into anything; Iâll think it through.â
âI installed an emergency device in your room. If anything goes south, just hit it and security will be there in a flash, Robb, still holding her hand, led her to the door and showed her the device. âEven though youâve got some fighting skills and can handle your average Joe, youâre still a girl, donât get too reckless, okay?â
âI get it,â Astrid knew he was just worried about her, so she let him be.
âHey, Star, why donât you move in with me?â Jon sauntered over, grinning from ear to ear. âIâll probably stop worrying if you do.â
âYou?â Brandon scoffed. âStar would be better off living with me. Your place looks like a dump; how can anyone live there? How could we let our Star live in a place like that?â
Jon bristled, âBrandon! Who are you calling a dumpster dweller?â
Brandon: âYou, Iâm talking about you!â
Watching the two of them bickering again, Astrid shook her head helplessly.
She remembered when she first returned to the Brooke family, the two brothers were at each otherâs throats over who should buy her a gift. Three years later, they hadnât changed a bit.
Anytime it had to do with her, they could start a fight.
Watching his two bickering brothers from the sidelines, Rickon sidled up to Astrid and whispered, âStar, are you running low on cash?â
Astrid was torn between laughter and tears.
Every time Rickon messaged her, he, like always, asked the same question: Star, do you have enough money?
Rickon was usually the silent type, and his face was always devoid of expression.
âIâm not broke; Iâm filming a movie, and getting paid for it,â Astrid said seriously.
Rickon frowned, âYouâre not famous yet; how much could you be making? Iâll wire you more later.â
âAlso, that Elio...â Rickonâs words trailed off; he glanced at Robb nearby, quickly shoved something into her hand, and said, âKeep this safe; look after yourself.â
âOh,â Astrid nodded, her face full of confusion. Watching Rickon leave, she was about to see what he gave her when Robb shoved something into her pocket, signaling her to keep safe.
What was going on with both of them?
After a while, Jon sneaked over and handed her something, making her promise to keep it a secret, âDonât tell them, okay!â
âBy the way, youâve left Colton at my place for so long; when are you planning to let him leave?â
Astrid blinked, âHas he been taking his medicines?â
Jon nodded, âHeâs been taking them, but there doesnât seem to be any significant improvement; heâs still only lucid for short periods.â
Astrid frowned; he had been on medicines for a while, and that wasnât right.
I need to find time to check on him.
Seeing her frown, Jon said, âVisit him when you can; he wants to see you.â
âAstrid, if you ever get tired of the entertainment industry, Iâll fly you home! Donât forget about me!â Brandon shoved something into her pocket before leaving.
Astrid was speechless.
All four of them had left.
She looked down at her hand, finally seeing what was in it: a mini taser and a small alarm device.
She slowly reached into her pocket: a can of pepper spray and a flashlight.
These guys were really on the same wavelength.
They all saw Elio as a thug; those were their gifts of selfâdefense.
