Parrish rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want to say, man?"
Listening to Clyde, Astrid took a more careful look at Karin and then spotted a familiar trait on her face. It was the spitting image of
Bernice.
Karin wasn't like Bernice in any other way, but those eyes were a dead ringer for hers.
Sof the looks she gave and the little quirks in her movements were just like Bernice.
If the intehadn't been abuzz with rumors of Bernice having a son, Astrid would have started to suspect she had a daughter
instead.
Karin stood out from the other female guests. She was quiet, but not lazy, ready to roll up her sleeves and pitch in where needed.
And she didn't stir up . Her presence was so subtle that you could easily overlook her.
As night fell, Nathan saw Egetting ready to bunk down next to Astrid and immediately stood up to sit between them, shooting
Ea fierce look. "Ever heard of keeping a proper distance from women? What about avoiding gossip?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEretorted, "Nathan, Astrid and | have a kid together. What gossip should | be avoiding?"
Nathan squinted his eyes. "Have you made it official? Proposed to her? Held a wedding? No! You haven't received her family's
blessing yet, so you should be keeping a respectful distance from her."
Ewas at a loss for words.
Online audiences were excited. [Holy smokes, the tension is real! | live for this . Let them fight!]
[I swear this dude is more like Astrid's brother. The way he's acting doesn't seem romantic...]
[What brotherly affection? That's baloney. He's totally into Astrid!]
[I think the dude is just being overprotective! Since Astrid calls him 'Bro Nathan’, their vibe is so in sync. Could Nathan actually be
her brother?]
[I was a huge fan of Astrid's older brother. If Nathan's her brother too, then she's seriously blessed with two such handsome
protectors!]
[LOL, if he's her brother, Mr. Lampard is in for a rough time. I'm looking forward to what happens next!]
With Nathan's interference, Eended up moving to sleep alone, looking pitiful.
The night was chilly, and Nathan draped his jacket over Astrid.
After a while, he worried she might still be cold, so he dug out another piece of clothing from his backpack and layered it over
Astrid.
Leaning against a tree, he tried to catch ssleep.
Minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes and added one more piece of clothing to the pile covering Astrid.
Audiences were losing it. [OMG, LOL, this guy is hilarious. Is he trying to smother my girl Astrid?]
[There's a kind of cold only Nathan thinks you're feeling. If he had more clothes, he'd probably bury Astrid under them.]
[Haha, so sweet. Damn, he's covering her with another shirt.]
[Dude, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.]
The audience was in stitches as Nathan pulled out a T-shirt from his bag and put it on Astrid.
By now, Astrid was buried under no less than six layers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet Nathan seemed unsure and eyed his clothes, contemplating stripping off his shirt for Astrid's warmth.
The audience were slapping their desks in laughter at his antics.
Just then, Astrid, feeling uncomfortable under the weight of the clothes, turned over and mumbled with her eyes closed, "Elio, | had
a dream... I'm trapped under a mountain, and nearly got squashed to death."
