Chapter 99
Astrid hopped into the car, swiftly nabbed the red wine from Robb’s hand, and downed it in one go,
“Holy cow, Robb, your wine is seriously the bomb. I’ve been going nuts missing this taste!”
Robb lifted his head and adjusted his glasses, grinning like a Cheshire cat at the little lady before him,
“All you think about is wine, not even about me, huh?”
“Who says I don’t miss Robb? Of all the bros in the house, you’re the only one I’d put my money on.”
Astrid snuggled up to Robb’s arm, cooing, “Robb, you’re classy, noble, handsome, charming,
gentlemanly, generous, tender… all the good words in the world can’t do justice to your perfection!”
Robb’s temples throbbed; he impatiently grabbed a box of wine from the side, “Here, take it.”
“Thanks, Robb!” Astrid shoved Robb’s arm away and clutched the box of red wine like it was some
precious treasure, “Robb, didn’t you go to the Europe branch? What brings you to Sunhaven? Are you
here to see Dale?”
“No, Dad sent me to check on you. Robb bowed his head with an expressionless face, looking
relatively normal.
Astrid raised an eyebrow at his words, a smirk creeping onto her lips, “Stop playing, Robb, if you
weren’t here to see Dale, then why did you bring your homemade blueberry wine? We all hate it, only
Dale loves it; you even developed this flavor for him, and…”
“Mhm mhm mhm…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Robb covered Astrid’s mouth with his hand, ” Astrid, if you keep
on yammering, I’ll chuck you out of the car.”
“Oh yeah, that guy, Elio, right? You’re not a spring chicken anymore, I wouldn’t object if you dated, but Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
he’s not good enough for you.”
In the eyes of the Brooke family, no one was good enough for Star.
Astrid said, “I’m not dating him…”
A hint of amusement flashed in Robb’s gentle eyes at her words, “Star, you’ve been quite ruthless to
your former suitors, don’t play us for fools. Elio is definitely different from you. Maybe you don’t like him
now, but you don’t detest him.”
“I’m not as rigid as Brandon Brooke, you can give it a shot with him if you like him. But be careful, don’t
let him fool you. Tell me if he dares to bully you, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
After Robb finished, Astrid pressed her lips together, not saying a word.
It wasn’t surprising that Robb knew about Elio since he was in charge of the family’s bodyguards.
“Alright, time to get out.” Robb reached out and opened the car door, “Be careful. Don’t be too stubborn
when you’re in trouble; I’ve got your back.”
Robb was the gentlest of all the brothers; Astrid always felt warm whenever she was with him.
So when she was feeling down, she liked to spend time with Robb, making wine together by picking
fruits on the farm; it was a great feeling.
“Star, it’s time for you to leave,” Robb said again.
Astrid suddenly fell silent; this guy told her to leave, “Seems like your boyfriend is more important than
me; your rank in my heart has dropped to sixth now.”
“Sixth?” Robb raised an eyebrow, grinning, “Besides those people, who else is ahead of me?”
Astrid arrogantly lifted her head, “Pinky, Pinky loves me the most; whenever I come home, it brings me
slippers! Not like some people, who abandon their weak little sister on a deserted street in the middle of
the night to see their sweetheart!”
