Chapter 44
Astrid was calling the guy in front of her ‘bro‘, which means he must be the Jon that Carson mentioned earlier.
Elio frowned involuntarily, feeling life was getting tough for the first time.
Sometimes, one gotta play nice to win over the girl you love.
Jon barked, “I ain’t scared of getting banned! Even if I do, I’m gonna teach this guy a lesson today!”
With that, Jon threw a punch at Elio’s face!
Just as the punch was about to hit Elio’s nose, Elio dodged with slickness, grabbed Jon’s wrist, and said quietly, “Dude, it’s all a misunderstanding…” Dude?
Astrid’s eyes widened in shock. “Has he lost his marbles?” she thought.
Jon was taken aback too. “Who’s your dude? Don’t get it twisted! Weren’t you the one who just rolled up your sleeves ready to throw down? Come on, let’s have a fair fight! Never been scared of anyone in a brawl!”
Elio didn’t respond, just let go of Jon’s hand and walked into the kitchen.
His unexpected move left the other three in the room with puzzled expressions.
Astrid looked at Roman and asked quietly, “Roman, what’s your dad up to?”
Roman just shook his head, totally clueless.
Jon was a bit stunned, then shouted, “What’re you doing in the kitchen? Looking for a weapon? Come out and fight fair!”
