Chapter 79
Astrid was lying restlessly in bed with her eyes tightly shut.
She never expected that guy to come back, let alone to come looking for her straight away
After tossing and turning in bed until the wee hours of the morning, she finally drifted off into a drowsy
slumber
After some time the noise from outside started to escalate
Girlish shrieks were erupting from all directions, and the sound of running in the hallway became louder
and louder Annoyed, she yanked the covers over her head.
But the racket didn’t lessen a bit it felt like the entire building was shaking
The rumbling sound of a helicopter came through, and Astrid blinked in surprise. Was that her second
brother’s arrival?
She tossed the covers aside, got out of bed, pulled open the curtains, and was greeted with a shower
of blue enchantress flower petals raining down with the sunlight. The blue petals fluttered down with the
wind, making everything in sight seem dreamlike.
Girls were screaming from the floors above and below.
“Oh my God, this is so romantic! Petal rain!”
“Is some wealthy dude proposing?”
“I wish my boyfriend could surprise me like this!”
“I want a boyfriend like this too!!!”
Astrid yawned Just as she was about to leave, a bunch of colorful balloons appeared in front of her
window, Dangling from the balloons was a note that read. “Astrid, I like you.” Astrid’s heart raced at the
sight of those words.
Before she could react, countless identical balloons started to ascend, each one attached to a note with
the same message.
Her phone rang at that moment; she turned around to pick it up and saw a message from an unknown
number. “Astrid, marry me.”
Seeing the message. Astrid scowled and replied. “In your dreams, I’m not marrying you; just seeing
you makes me sick!”
The unknown number replied. “Heh, you’re such a tease.”
Astrid tossed her phone aside, closed the curtains, and irritably ran her fingers through her hair before
heading to the bathroom. News of a mysterious wealthy man confessing his love to Astrid with a
shower of blue enchantress petals quickly spread online. The comments from netizens were varied.
“Astrid doesn’t have any notable work; she’s always trending because of her sugar daddy. She’s so
shameless
“Regardless, this petal rain is really beautiful. Blue enchantress is expensive; I’m so jealous!!
“This girl is very pretty. It’s normal for people to like her. Some people really don’t need to be so harsh.
“I wonder if the person confessing this time is the same one who used the drone last time?”
When Elio saw the news, he immediately looked up the guy’s information online,
He was a distinguished professor from the top university in the States who had a high reputation
Internationally
Looking at the man’s face in the photo, Elio’s expression darkened. Just how many secrets did Astrid
have? Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
It seemed that he needed to take some special measures; otherwise, he had no idea how long he’d
have to walt to bring her back home.
Astrid changed her clothes and saw that the group chat was buzzing.
Brandon, “Star, you need to explain. What’s going on?”
Rickon, “Star, why do you always attract so much attention?”
Jon, “It must be some shameless rich guy trying to get close to Star, I’ll teach him a lesson tomorrow.”
Astrid responded helplessly. “It’s just a suitor from my college days; I’ve already rejected him.”
Brandon, “A suitor from your college days? Last time, you said the one who confessed with the drone
was a sultor from college, and the one who wanted to gift you a property was also a suitor. Just how
many suitors did you have in college?”
Astrid replied “Not that many, really.”
Rickon, “An army?”
Astrid, “Do you guys think I’m only worth that much?”
Everyone, *_*
