Chapter 198
“Astrid, what the hell’s going on? Even if he’s after you, you can’t let him stay the night!”
“Men are unreliable by nature, especially this guy who’s been single for 29 years. He could do something inappropriate at any moment; you get me?”
Jon kept complaining, stormed over to Astrid, and pulled her to him. “Astrid, listen to me; get him out of here.”
“Jon, it’s late; it wouldn’t be right to kick him out. Besides, I think he’s quite nice. Out of all the guys who’ve chased after me, he’s the best one!” As Astrid finished her sentence, Elio’s eyes brightened..
This could be considered as praising him..
“Good?” Jon became upset, “What’s good about him?”
Astrid turned her head and gave Elio a once–over, “He looks pretty good.”
Jon was speechless.
“Jesus, you’re so impulsive! What kind of tricks did he use on you?” Jon was hopping mad.
Astrid crossed her arms and lifted her chin, “Jon, you and Colton should leave, right? My place can’t fit all of you; Elio is a guest; I won’t let him leave tonight.”
“We are not leaving tonight either; I’ll sleep in the guest room; Colton can take the couch; there’s no place for Elio!”
Upon hearing this, Astrid’s lips curled, “Who says there isn’t? My bed is big; if you guys won’t leave, I’ll have to let him take half of it.”
Half of the bed?
Jon was scared and stiff by Astrid’s words.
In the end, Jon, pulling Colton and Elio along, spent the night watching TV on the couch.
When Astrid woke up the next day, Elio had already gone to work.
Jon and Colton were soundly asleep on the couch, and the living room was filled with their snores.
Thinking of Elio’s words last night, Astrid’s lips curled into a smile.
