Chapter 185
“Mm–hmm.” Astrid looked into Robb’s eyes, gripping his hand. “I get what you’re saying, and I won’t rush into anything; I’ll think it through.”
“I installed an emergency device in your room. If anything goes south, just hit it and security will be there in a flash, Robb, still holding her hand, led her to the door and showed her the device. “Even though you’ve got some fighting skills and can handle your average Joe, you’re still a girl, don’t get too reckless, okay?”
“I get it,” Astrid knew he was just worried about her, so she let him be.
“Hey, Star, why don’t you move in with me?” Jon sauntered over, grinning from ear to ear. “I’ll probably stop worrying if you do.”
“You?” Brandon scoffed. “Star would be better off living with me. Your place looks like a dump; how can anyone live there? How could we let our Star live in a place like that?”
Jon bristled, “Brandon! Who are you calling a dumpster dweller?”
Brandon: “You, I’m talking about you!”
Watching the two of them bickering again, Astrid shook her head helplessly.
She remembered when she first returned to the Brooke family, the two brothers were at each other’s throats over who should buy her a gift. Three years later, they hadn’t changed a bit.
Anytime it had to do with her, they could start a fight.
Watching his two bickering brothers from the sidelines, Rickon sidled up to Astrid and whispered, “Star, are you running low on cash?”
Astrid was torn between laughter and tears.
Every time Rickon messaged her, he, like always, asked the same question: Star, do you have enough money?
Rickon was usually the silent type, and his face was always devoid of expression.
“I’m not broke; I’m filming a movie, and getting paid for it,” Astrid said seriously.
Rickon frowned, “You’re not famous yet; how much could you be making? I’ll wire you more later.”
“Also, that Elio…” Rickon’s words trailed off; he glanced at Robb nearby, quickly shoved something into her hand, and said, “Keep this safe; look after yourself.”
“Oh,” Astrid nodded, her face full of confusion. Watching Rickon leave, she was about to see what he gave her when Robb shoved something into her pocket, signaling her to keep safe.
What was going on with both of them?
After a while, Jon sneaked over and handed her something, making her promise to keep it a secret, “Don’t tell them, okay!”
“By the way, you’ve left Colton at my place for so long; when are you planning to let him leave?”
Astrid blinked, “Has he been taking his medicines?”
Jon nodded, “He’s been taking them, but there doesn’t seem to be any significant improvement; he’s still only lucid for short periods.”
Astrid frowned; he had been on medicines for a while, and that wasn’t right.
I need to find time to check on him.
Seeing her frown, Jon said, “Visit him when you can; he wants to see you.”
“Astrid, if you ever get tired of the entertainment industry, I’ll fly you home! Don’t forget about me!” Brandon shoved something into her pocket before leaving.
Astrid was speechless.
All four of them had left.
She looked down at her hand, finally seeing what was in it: a mini taser and a small alarm device.
She slowly reached into her pocket: a can of pepper spray and a flashlight.
These guys were really on the same wavelength.
They all saw Elio as a thug; those were their gifts of self–defense.
