Chapter 162
The old lady could see the hotel room number from the video, and she immediately started to mock, “You said Astrid didn’t turn you down! But look at you, locked out of the room!”
“You’re so stupid that Astrid doesn’t accompany you on Valentine’s Day.”
The old lady started her nagging again. After listening for a while, Elio mercilessly hung up the video call.
He turned around to look at the closed door, raising his hand to press the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened.
Astrid, looking at Elio standing at the door, was a bit puzzled, “Why are you still here?”
“Astrid, didn’t you say you didn’t prepare a gift for me? Then what’s this?” Elio held up the Pikachu in his hand, “What’s the meaning of this return gift?” “That…” Astrid said, “I just thought it would be really rude if I accepted your gift but didn’t give you anything in return. As for this Pikachu, I have a whole set, so I just gave you one.”
As she was talking, Astrid moved aside to reveal a whole bunch of Pikachus on her table.
Elio couldn’t help but feel down, “Then how many Valentine’s Day gifts did you receive and give out today?”
Astrid looked up at Elio’s gloomy face and quickly replied, “Every Valentine’s Day, many people give me gifts. I really can’t keep count.”
“It’s getting late, I’m going to rest now. Good night.” After closing the door, Astrid picked up the box–she had just filled with fireflies, only to find another photo in it.
It was a photo of her and Roman fooling around on the couch.
Touching the photo, Astrid felt a sense of peace in her heart.
Indeed, many people gave her gifts today, including Hal and Hawthorne, but she only accepted Elio’s gift.
If she had accepted gifts from Hal and Hawthorne, it would only create unnecessary trouble for herself.
