Chapter 154
Elio answered the video call, but instead of Roman, it was Amanda’s face that appeared on the screen.
She questioned him angrily, “What else can you do? You can’t even keep an eye on your girlfriend!”
“Let me talk.” Matthew snatched the phone, his tone serious. “What else can you do besides using your
kid to chase after women?”
“I warned you not to focus solely on making money. Look at you now; you can’t even charm a woman
properly!”
Elio: “…”
Amanda: “Just see what she needs, give it to her, and make her happy. Isn’t that simple?”
Elio: “She lacks nothing.”
Roman: “She lacks me, Ms. Irvine needs me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Roman’s smug face, Elio couldn’t suppress his anger. “How much longer are you two going to
play around?”
Amanda: “We’re about to book our flights and come back ASAP. If we don’t return soon, Astrid is going
to leave us. Some people are just useless, hmph.”
Before Elio had a chance to retort, Roman ended the call.
His phone beéped. Elio glanced at it. It was a message.
Sunhaven Typhoon Blue Alert: A typhoon will affect our city within 24 hours. The city has entered a
state of typhoon alert. Please be prepared.
A typhoon?
Elío checked the situation where Astrid was and found that she was even more affected.
He quickly stood up, put on his suit jacket, and strode out.
Before the typhoon hit, Elio’s flight landed safely at the airport.
Due to the typhoon, the crew couldn’t shoot outdoors and had to work in the studio.
The rain was coming down hard, and Astrid’s scar was starting to ache faintly.
But over the years, she had gotten used to the pain.
This time, however, the situation was worse. She also had menstrual cramps.
The two types of pain mixed together were unbearable.
“Astrid, if you can’t hold on, ask the director for leave. Your health is the most important thing, don’t
force yourself.,” Gracie, knowing Astrid had discomfort on rainy days, was worried.
Astrid shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”
The weather outside was stormy and cold, and no one had thought to bring a jacket, expecting it to be
warm.
“Astar, are you okay? You’re looking a bit pale,” Teresa asked, still blushing from time to time when
calling her ‘Astar‘.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAstrid touched her face, “I look pale? Is it that obvious?”
“Yeah,” Teresa nodded, “maybe you should rest.”
“I’m fine, just a few more scenes left.” Astrid looked in the mirror and realized she did look a bit off.
After a while, she called Selena, “Selena, can you touch up my makeup? Make me look a bit more
lively.”
“Sure. Selena immediately came over to do her makeup. Gracie was worried, but knowing Astrid was
stubborn, she didn’t say anything.
Due to some actors not feeling well, there were several takes, and it wasn’t until past 10 PM that they
finished filming for the day. The rain outside didn’t let up, but got even worse.
The drainage system here wasn’t great. Rainwater flowed down the road like mini streams.
The road was flooded, making it hard to walk.
Some people ran out with umbrellas, but after a few steps, the wind flipped them over, soaking them
instantly.
