Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Astrid glanced around the room; looking like it had survived a disaster. Astrid was nursing a headache. “Did I ever tell you that all medicines should be made fresh and drunk on the same day? He’s got poison in him. If the medicine is expired, it’ll have toxins. If he drinks it, of course, he’ll have problems.”

“Why aren’t you rushing off to brew the medicine again?” Astrid glared at Jon. Jon immediately dashed into the kitchen to prepare the

medicine.

It took Astrid a considerable amount of time to calm Colton down.

Looking at Colton, who was dozing off on the recliner, Astrid bent down to tidy up the messy room. Just as she turned around, a deep voice came from behind her. “Astrid.”

Astrid quickly turned around to see Colton, who was supposed to be asleep, was wide awake and looking at her.

His eyes were clear and bright.

“Colton, are you awake?” Astrid asked, then Colton across from her nodded.

Seeing a not–so–dumb Colton, Astrid felt a bit out of place.

Colton glanced at the messy room and slightly shook his head. “Astrid, I want to tell you something.”

“Hmm?” Astrid quirked a curious eyebrow. “What is it?”

“Actually, the day Sandra brought you to my room, I was sober.” At Colton’s words, Astrid’s heart tightened.

She had always thought she was smart but hadn’t seen through Colton’s act.

This guy’s acting skills were seriously top–notch.

Seeing Astrid’s surprised expression, Colton gave a small smile. “Sometimes I’m awake; sometimes I’m dazed. But in front of Farrah, I’ve been playing dumb for twenty–three years. So it’s normal that you didn’t catch on.”

“In return, I’ll tell you a secret.” Colton’s gaze deepened. “Four and a half years ago, I saw you.”
