Chapter 294
Carson also spotted that guy and his heart skipped a beat, “Boss, that’s Hawthorne!”
“Tell Robb, Hawthorne and Astrid are on the same flight, Elio said, and then he just walked off.
Carson was stunned for a moment, then the penny dropped.
Hawthorne was the one who had stolen Roman from the hospital. The Brooke family must have known about this, so Robb would definitely hate Hawthorne.
On the plane, Astrid had just settled in her seat when she saw Hawthorne, who was in a wheelchair, boarding the plane.
Gracie tightly gripped her arm and whispered in her ear, “Astrid, keep your cool. You’re a public figure, you can’t confront him here.”
“Calm down, calm down,” Gracie held Astrid’s hand tightly, afraid that Astrid might lose it and hurt Hawthorne.
After all, Hawthorne looked like he was on death’s door, and Astrid was pretty strong. If she wasn’t careful, she could really hurt him.
That would be more trouble than it’s worth.
The time on the plane was torture. Once they landed, they went to collect their luggage.
On the way, Astrid grabbed Hawthorne’s wheelchair and pulled him into a corner!
She’d been looking for him for so long without any luck, and now he suddenly appeared. He must be up to something!
Hawthorne was wearing a mask. He looked up at her.
The hatred in her eyes was like a spike piercing his heart. “Star, don’t look at me like that.”
“How should I look at you then?” Astrid was trying to control her emotions. She was afraid that her fist would land on his face any second.
“Why did you try and steal my child? Speak!”
Listening to Astrid’s icy voice, Hawthorne lowered his eyelids, his tone calm. “Star, do we really need to talk to each other like this? Everything I did, I did for your own good.”
“Showbiz is too complicated. You’ll get hurt. Better go back to a simple and happy life.”
“My life is not for you to arrange! Even my dad didn’t stop me from entering showbiz, who are you to stand in the way of my dreams?” Astrid was sick and tired of Hawthorne’s ‘for your own good‘ excuses.
“I’ll ask you one more time, why did you steal Roman?”
“Don’t be in such a hurry, Star,” Hawthorne remained calm. “I came here today to talk to you about this.”
“Over four years ago, I received a message. It said that my fiancée was carrying someone else’s child, and the father of the child was Elio.”
Hearing this, Astrid’s heart fluttered. “Who sent you the message?”
Hawthorne said, “I don’t know. The phone number was specially set up, it couldn’t be called back or receive replies.”
“At first, I didn’t believe it. But then they sent me your photo. You look a lot like your mother. So, I secretly sent someone to investigate you and found out that you were really pregnant.”
“I was sick at that time, but not as serious as now. I secretly visited you. I fell for you at first sight.”
“But I didn’t want the child in your belly.”
E
Astrid was taken aback, her lips trembling slightly. “So, you were the one who caused all those accidents, trying to make me miscarry?”
