Chapter 334
Elio even told Farris to let him take more shots of Astrid and increase Astrid’s shots. He’s already spoiling her rotten before he’s even won her over. If he did win her over, he’d spoil her even more, right?
Astrid was in the woods, collecting firewood with a flashlight. She found some wild vegetables and picked them. She took them to the spring for washing.
But then a big hand snatched the veggies from her, “Hold up, who said you could wash these? Put your gloves on, don’t freeze your hands.”
Elio squatted down to wash the vegetables by the spring, and he skillfully picked off the roots and yellow leaves, which surprised Farris. My God? The CEO can also cook?
Judging by the look of it, he must cook often.
By the time Elio finished washing the vegetables, his hands were frozen red.
Astrid took out an ointment from her pocket and handed it to him, “quickly wipe it on.”
Elio: “Thanks, darling.”
“Darling Astrid glared at him, not pleased. She left holding a bunch of wild vegetables.
Elio looked at the nameless ointment in his hand, quickly applied it, and felt warmth spreading across his hand. The pain from the freezing cold was gone in no time. He carefully put away the ointment, picked up the firewood, and hurried back.
When Naylor returned with the firewood, Astrid and Elio were back too. Seeing the wild vegetables in Astrid’s hand, he raised an eyebrow, “Do you know what kind of vegetables these are?”
“Yeah, they’re very nutritious and have medicinal value. We don’t have anything else to eat tonight, so we’ll make do with these,” Astrid said, putting down the vegetables. She took out a solid alcohol block from her bag and handed it to Naylor.
“What’s this?” Joana came over to look, “You said there was nothing left to eat, did you hide this?”
Astrid gave her a look, “If you want to eat it, then go ahead.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Naylor had already lit the alcohol block.
Seeing the burning object, Joana swallowed hard and said nothing.
Elio and Clyde brought back a lot of firewood. Parrish, despite his size, only brought back a few sticks and looked unhappy.
Joana and Odell didn’t go collect firewood. They stayed behind, claiming they felt unwell.
After starting the fire, Naylor cooked the vegetables Astrid had brought back. Astrid sprinkled some spices she had brought with her, and soon the delicious aroma wafted through the air.
Everyone was starving as the food they had eaten earlier was already digested.
Joana was dying to eat, but Astrid didn’t invite her, and she felt too awkward to help herself. She murmured, “You dare to eat anything you find in the wild? Aren’t you afraid it’s poisonous?”
Astrid: “If you’re afraid of being poisonous, don’t eat it. Aren’t you talking about losing weight every day? Then it’s fine if you go hungry twice.”
Joana had nothing to say.
Everyone used their own utensils to serve themselves. Ello, worried that Astrid might not have enough to eat, gave her some of his share, “Astrid, eat more.”
“I’ve had enough,” Astrid said, finding him a bit annoying. “If you don’t eat enough and can’t walk tomorrow, I’m not taking care of you.”
Elio smiled, “I know you would take care of me.”
“Hmph.” Astrid glared at him, “You do trust me, don’t you?”
Elio didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear, “Think about it. Once this show airs, who wouldn’t know you’re my woman? Who would dare to take you away from me?”
Astrid was speechless.
Oh my God.
So, this is his real reason for being on this show, huh?
How brazen…
