The Man’s Decree

Chapter 1473 A Disguise

Meanwhile, Astrid followed Howard to a hotel in Jadeborough. The room was romantically decorated, and when Astrid saw this, she turned and spoke apathetically to Howard. “Howard Dunn, I don’t think this is a proper place for us to talk.”

Despite her comment, Astrid did not really have her guard up, for she knew that, given Howard’s capabilities, she could easily pin him down. Since that was the case, she was not concerned at all that he would do anything to her.

“What’s so improper about this place, Ms. Gunderson? You’ve always been the girl I want. I brought you here today to confess my love to you.”

As he spoke, Howard took out a bouquet of flowers and went on one knee before Astrid.

Astrid’s face froze when she saw that. “You should just give up. I don’t like you a single bit,” she replied dismissively.

When she had made herself clear, she turned to leave. It did not occur to her that Howard would trick her into that place to profess his feelings to her.
