Parrish rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to say, man?"
Listening to Clyde, Astrid took a more careful look at Karin and then spotted a familiar trait on her face. It was the spitting image of Bernice.
Karin wasn't like Bernice in any other way, but those eyes were a dead ringer for hers.
Some of the looks she gave and the little quirks in her movements were just like Bernice.
If the internet hadn't been abuzz with rumors of Bernice having a son, Astrid would have started to suspect she had a daughter instead.
Karin stood out from the other female guests. She was quiet, but not lazy, ready to roll up her sleeves and pitch in where needed.
And she didn't stir up drama. Her presence was so subtle that you could easily overlook her.
As night fell, Nathan saw Elio getting ready to bunk down next to Astrid and immediately stood up to sit between them, shooting Elio a fierce look. "Ever heard of keeping a proper distance from women? What about avoiding gossip?"
Elio retorted, "Nathan, Astrid and I have a kid together. What gossip should I be avoiding?"
Nathan squinted his eyes. "Have you made it official? Proposed to her? Held a wedding? No! You haven't received her family's blessing yet, so you should be keeping a respectful distance from her."
Elio was at a loss for words.
Online audiences were excited. [Holy smokes, the tension is real! I live for this drama. Let them fight!]
[I swear this dude is more like Astrid's brother. The way he's acting doesn't seem romantic...]
[What brotherly affection? That's baloney. He's totally into Astrid!]
[I think the dude is just being overprotective! Since Astrid calls him 'Bro Nathan', their vibe is so in sync. Could Nathan actually be her brother?]
