Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 403

Bernice’s words had layers of meaning, how could Astrid not get it?

She picked up two pebbles and began to fiddle with them, as if she didn’t hear what Bernice said.

The night was very quiet.

Bernice knew that Astrid always disliked when people brought up her mother, so she didn’t expect Astrid to be so cool about it.

Astrid was so calm that it was getting confusing.

After a while, Astrid slowly said, “I do look a lot like my mom, she was gentle and kind. My mom was too trusting and got tricked by some two–faced people.”

“But I’m different, I’m cunning and not easily fooled. If someone messes with me once, I’ll get back at them a hundred times!”

“If anyone I care about gets hurt, I won’t let the culprit,off, no matter who they are.”

In the darkness, Astrid’s voice was chillingly cold.

Bernice felt a coldness emanating from Astrid and was at a loss for words.
