Chapter 278
“Rickon, what brings you here all of a sudden?” Astrid grabbed Rickon’s arm, “You don’t want to give me more money again, do you?”
Rickon cast a sidelong glance at the girl beside him, her smile brights, and whispered, “Do you have any money left?”
Sure enough, Rickon always thought she was short on money.
Rickon didn’t say much, just pulled Astrid into the car and shut the door.
Then he turned to Elio behind him: “Thanks for helping Star move today, but that’s it. I don’t care about the past, but you can’t make up for the harm Star had suffered just by doing these little things. I’m talking to you calmly now, just because of your other identity. If Robb Brooke were here, he probably wouldn’t be so kind.”
Rickon opened the car door, about to get in, when Elio said, “I never thought that these little things I did could make up for anything. I never make excuses for the past. We missed a chance four years ago, but this time I will not give up on her.”
Rickon paused slightly.
He looked up at Elio, then didn’t say anything else.
Rickon drove off, followed closely by the moving company’s truck.
Yates still had his usual playful smile, “Elio, I used to think–Astrid’s brothers all hated me, but seeing you, I think I might not be the most hated one, hahaha…”
After a while, Yates’s laughter slowly faded.
Because he noticed that the gentlemanly Elio in front of Rickon now seemed like a completely different person.
His sharp gaze made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
