Chapter 217
Rickon was totally against these two, but since Astrid said they were here to protect Colton, he had no choice but to let them in. Late at night, Astrid was wide awake.
Her phone buzzed a few times. She slowly picked it up and saw Elio’s messages.
“Everything going okay?”
“Need any help?”
Astrid’s finger hovered over the screen for a moment before she replied, “I can handle it. You need to take care of Roman.”
She might lean on her brothers, but she hadn’t gotten used to Elio yet, even though he’d been doing a great job.
The next day, Astrid went to the place where she and Quincy agreed to meet.
When night fell, Quincy was still a no–show.
In the middle of the night, Astrid received a text from Quincy. “Sorry, something came up. Can’t meet right now. We’ll talk online if there’s anything.”
Astrid replied. “Did you get in a car crash?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I wasn’t in a car crash. Something happened at home. I went back last night.”
No car crash?
Did someone try to stop her from meeting Quincy?
After a pause, Astrid replied. “Were you in Sunhaven over four years ago?”
Quincy: “I was!”
He wás?
Astrid felt a rush of anxiety, “Did you go with your boss?”
Quincy paused after he read this and checked Astrid’s profile and saw ‘male‘. He retorted swiftly, “Why are you looking for my boss? Are you trying to marry him? You don’t have a chance; he’s already got a kid, and he doesn’t swing that way!”
“I’m a woman.”
“Even if you’re a woman, our boss won’t be into you. He’s already head over heels for someone else, and she’s a knockout who’s super talented! hate home wreckers; don’t you dare mess with our boss and his girlfriend, or I’ll make your life miserable!“.
Astrid fell silent.
She was just asking a few questions, how did he come up with such a storyline?
How did she suddenly become the other woman?
She just wants to find that man and figure out if he took her child.
She had no interest in him; she just didn’t want to miss any information about her child.
Even though Sandra Irvine said that the child was dead, she was a master of deception, and her words couldn’t be fully trusted.
Unless someone else confirms that the child was dead when stolen, she’ll never give up looking for her child.
Just as she was about to ask Quincy more questions, a system message popped up. “The other party has blocked and reported you; please use appropriate language to create a harmonious online environment.”
Blocked?
Was this guy out of his mind?!
“Ding dong ding dong ding dong!” The doorbell rang and Astrid got up to answer it.
Upon opening the door, she saw a worn–out Chad and Hank.
Astrid’s mouth–twitched slightly, “What do you guys want?”
“Everything okay?” Hank gave Astrid a once–over, then slapped Chad, “God, did you trick me into thinking Chief is in trouble just because you wanted to travel abroad on your own?”
