Hawthorne gave Yates a cold glance, chuckling under his breath, “You think you can keep tabs on me? I doubt you’re cut out for it.”
“Alright then, we’ll see about that.” Yates shot Hawthorne a look before quickly taking off.
But he was already a step behind. Astrid had left.
Yates hopped into a car, chasing in the direction Astrid had gone.
A while later, Hawthorne’s assistant slowly emerged, pushing a wheelchair.
Before his ride arrived, several black cars appeared at the airport exit.
A bunch of bodyguards got out of the cars and immediately surrounded Hawthorne, “Mr. Cliff, we’re here on your father’s orders to take you home.” Hawthorne glanced at the people in front of him, “I’m not going home.”
The bodyguard said, “Your father said if you don’t come back, he’s going to destroy all the blue roses you’ve been growing in the backyard.” Thinking about those flowers, Hawthorne eventually gave in and followed his family’s men.
By the end of November in the north, it was already freezing cold.
As soon as they got in the car, Gracie whispered in Astrid’s ear, “Astrid, I have to tell you, the handsome guy I saw with Joana yesterday, it was that guy just now! Yes, it was Yates! I thought he looked familiar yesterday, and now I finally remember! I originally thought he was pretty good looking, but now that I think about him being with Joana, I suddenly feel like he’s just average.”
Astrid was taken aback, Yates?
But how was Yates with Joana again?
Thinking about this, Astrid remembered that she had asked Chad to check on Joana and that guy yesterday, and Chad seemed to have replied in the middle of the night.
She was half asleep at the time, so she didn’t check.
Astrid quickly pulled out her phone and opened up WhatsApp to see the message Chad sent, “Astrid, the guy with Joana is Yates!”
Chad said, “Didn’t Yates have a lot of ex–girlfriends? Joana is one of them, but they only dated for a few days before breaking up.”
Chad: “What do you think of Yates‘ taste? How could he eyen be interested in a woman like Joana?”
Chad sent a lot of messages, but Astrid only noticed one thing, Joana was Yates‘ ex–girlfriend.
This guy’s taste really isn’t all that.
The car’s heater was warm, and Astrid started dozing off after playing with her phone for a while.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Brandon sent a message: “Star, your set’s location is so remote, there aren’t any good hotels. How about you stay in a five–star hotel downtown and I’ll drive you to the set every day, how’s that?”
Astrid: “Brandon, could you be a little more low–key? Everyone else can stay in small hotels near the set, I don’t want to be special.”
Brandon: “Star, I’m worried the heating in the small hotels won’t be enough and you’ll get cold. How about this, I’ll have someone renovate your room, how’s that?”
Astrid rolled her eyes, “Brandon, could you do something productive?”
Brandon said, “Isn’t caring for and protecting my sister my responsibility?”
Astrid replied, “Brandon, I can take care of myself, if there’s any problem I’ll let you know first. Could you please not come to the set and mess things up?” Brandon said, “Alright then, remember to miss me, Star!”
Next, Brandon sent several kissy face emojis made from his own GIF.
Astrid glanced at those emojis with annoyance, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
