Chapter 509


    Parrish rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to say, man?"


    Listening to Clyde, Astrid took a more careful look at Karin and then spotted a familiar trait on her face.


    It was the spitting image of Bernice.


    Karin wasn''t like Bernice in any other way, but those eyes were a dead ringer for hers.


    Some of the looks she gave and the little quirks in her movements were just like Bernice.


    If the inte hadn''t been abuzz with rumors of Bernice having a son, Astrid would have started to


    suspect she had a daughter instead.


    Karin stood out from the other female guests. She was quiet, but notzy, ready to roll up her sleeves


    and pitch in where needed.


    And she didn''t stir up drama. Her presence was so subtle that you could easily overlook her.


    As night fell, Nathan saw Elio getting ready to bunk down next to Astrid and immediately stood up to sit


    between them, shooting Elio a fierce look. "Ever heard of keeping a proper distance from women?


    What about avoiding gossip?"


    Elio retorted, "Nathan, Astrid and I have a kid together. What gossip should I be avoiding?"


    Nathan squinted his eyes. "Have you made it official? Proposed to her? Held a wedding? No! You


    haven''t received her family''s blessing yet, so you should be keeping a respectful distance from her."


    Elio was at a loss for words.


    Online audiences were excited. [Holy smokes, the tension is real! I live for this drama. Let them fight!]


    [I swear this dude is more like Astrid''s brother. The way he''s acting doesn''t seem romantic...]


    [What brotherly affection? That''s baloney. He''s totally into Astrid!]


    [I think the dude is just being overprotective! Since Astrid calls him ''Bro Nathan'', their vibe is so in sync.


    Could Nathan actually be her brother?]


    [I was a huge fan of Astrid''s older brother. If Nathan''s her brother too, then she''s seriously blessed with


    two such handsome protectors!]


    [LOL, if he''s her brother, Mr. Lampard is in for a rough time. I''m looking forward to what happens next!]


    With Nathan''s interference, Elio ended up moving to sleep alone, looking pitiful.


    The night was chilly, and Nathan draped his jacket over Astrid.


    After a while, he worried she might still be cold, so he dug out another piece of clothing from his


    backpack andyered it over Astrid.


    Leaning against a tree, he tried to catch some sleep.


    Minutester, he suddenly opened his eyes and added one more piece of clothing to the pile covering


    Astrid.


    Audiences were losing it. [OMG, LOL, this guy is hrious. Is he trying to smother my girl Astrid?]


    [There''s a kind of cold only Nathan thinks you''re feeling. If he had more clothes, he''d probably bury

    Astrid under them.]


    [Haha, so sweet. Damn, he''s covering her with another shirt.]


    [Dude, I''mughing so hard I''m crying.]


    The audience was in stitches as Nathan pulled out a T-shirt from his bag and put it on Astrid.


    By now, Astrid was buried under no less than sixyers.


    Yet Nathan seemed unsure and eyed his clothes, contemting stripping off his shirt for Astrid''s


    warmth.


    The audience were pping their desks inughter at his antics.


    Just then, Astrid, feeling ufortable under the weight of the clothes, turned over and mumbled with


    her eyes closed, "Elio, I had a dream... I’m trapped under a mountain, and nearly got squashed to


    death."
