Chapter 187
Elio glanced toward the door, but his vision was blurred, and he couldn’t see the person’s face.
Seeing the person at the door, Astrid got up and walked over, her voice full of joy, ‘Nathan Brooke, what brings you here?”
The guy was Nathan, the second son from her uncle’s family.
Her uncle’s family had two sons, Nash Brooke and Nathan Brooke, whose names hinted at their handsome and sophisticated looks.
Both brothers were educated at home and looked handsome, but their personalities were as different as night and day.
Nash was all about hitting the books.
On the other hand, Nathan was not academically inclined; his heart was always with music.
She still remembered when she first arrived at the Brookes, Nash dumped a stack of test papers on her, scaring the life out of her.
Nathan was rough with others, but he was always gentle towards her.
When she first moved into the Brooke family, she was emotionally unstable due to losing her child; Nathan often sat on the balcony with his guitar, singing for her for hours.
During her most difficult times, Nathan was always by her side.
The famous song in the entertainment industry that day was what Nathan wrote for her back then.
“Why am I here?” Nathan strode over, unceremoniously poking Astrid’s forehead, “Can’t you keep yourself safe, young lady? Rumors about female stars always surround Elio. If you hang out with him, your reputation will be hit!”
“Ha, your reputation will take a big hit!”
Astrid, her head wobbling from the poke, glared at him and said, “Nathan, you’ve got it all wrong!”
“Wrong? I’ve done my homework on him; if I weren’t tied up with the national tour, I would’ve taught him a lesson long ago.” Nathan said, frowning, “Where’s your brother? Didn’t they call me here for a meeting?”
A meeting?
Astrid felt a bit helpless, “They’ve already left; you’re late.”
“Late?” Nathan glanced at Elio, his eyes filled with coldness, “If I hadn’t been so late, how would I have caught this shameless guy holding your hand!”
“Nathan, you got it all wrong. His eyes were affected by the spotlight and he couldn’t see, so I let him rest here.” After Astrid explained, Nathan took a closer look at Elio.
He noticed that Elio’s eyes did indeed seem to have a problem.
But whether he could see or not, anyone who dares have designs on his sister is a no–no.
“I’m going to stay at your place for a while to prevent certain people from making any moves on you.” After saying that, Nathan casually set his guitar aside and sat on the couch.
Astrid rubbed her aching temples and nodded, “Alright, stay as long as you want.”
Elio felt wronged.
When Astrid finally had some downtime, he thought he could score some points with her.
But her brother showed up on the very first day of the holiday.
They had him under tight surveillance.
When he saw Astrid heading to the kitchen, Nathan was about to play a game on his phone. He immediately put down his phone, quickly walked over, and grabbed her collar, “Did I ask you to cook? Go rest; you’re always like this.”
