Chapter 83
After thinking for a few seconds, Elio pulled out his phone and sent a voice message to Roman.
“Roman, I’m going to your Ms. Irvine’s set tomorrow; if you promise to follow my instructions, I’ll take
you with me.”
Roman replied. “Sure thing, Chief, I’m all ears.”
He must have learned that nickname from Carson. He never learns what he should, but he’s got a
knack for flattery.
The next day, Aoyama County had heavy rain.
Unable to work due to the heavy rain, Astrid was in her hotel room playing video games. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
While she was playing, a message popped up on the screen.
An unknown number had sent her a message that read. “I’m at the café across from your hotel, are you
coming out or should I come in?”
Astrid’s hand trembled. She quickly tossed her phone onto the bed, then got up to pull back the
curtains.
Hal’s eye-catching red Rolls-Royce was parked on the side of the road. Astrid looked at the car and felt
a bit scared.
She had to go out. Who knows what would happen if she let Hal come to the hotel?
Astrid replied. “I’m coming down.”
“Alright.” Hal replied.
Astrid grabbed her umbrella and headed downstairs.
The rain was pouring outside and her umbrella nearly got blown away. Although the cafe was just over
a hundred meters from the hotel, it felt like a long walk.
A shadow saw her leave, then messaged Fannie. “Astrid has gone out; she’s gone into the café across
the street. A guy with a limited-edition Rolls-Royce went in before her.”
Upon receiving the message, Fannie smiled and texted Elio. “Unexpected surprise at the café near the
set.”
By the time Astrid got to the café, her shoes and pants were soaked through.
She pushed the door open, walked in, and saw Hal sitting on a couch from a distance.
He’d lost some weight since the last time she saw him.
His face was pale and gaunt, and the veins in his arms were slightly protruding, making him look
somewhat terrifying.
Seeing her come in, Hal stood up. He smiled while holding a large bouquet of blue enchantress orchids
in his hand, “Your favorite flowers.”
Hal was always smiling. His smile was charming, yet dangerous.
Astrid took the flowers and immediately tossed them onto the floor, “Hal, enough. I’m not the naive little
girl you could easily manipulate three years ago. If you dare do anything, I won’t make it easy for you.”
Hal chuckled, looking at the face that appeared in his dreams every night; he reached out to touch her.
Astrid immediately perceived his intention and swiftly dodged.
Hal smirked, “You know what? I’ve been thinking about you every day since we broke up!
“I think about you every day too.” She looked at him coldly, not hiding the disgust in her eyes, “I think
about when you’ll finally disappear.”
The atmosphere in the room instantly turned terrifying, and Hal’s smile became dangerous, “Astrid,
don’t try to provoke me; you can’t afford the price!”
“Price? I’d love to see what kind of price you’d have me pay. Like before, locking me up in a sunless
room? Scaring me out with the snake you know I’m terrified of just to make me have dinner with you?
Or forcing me to watch horror movies 24/7 so I’d be scared and seek your protection?” Astrid rarely lost
control like she did now, but those memories were simply unforgettable.
