Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 189
Roman said, “Thank you; you’re the best!”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Astrid’s mouth; this little bugger knew how to flatter.
Everyone had a great time chowing down.
Nathan’s cooking skills were top–notch; Roman was eating like there was no tomorrow, “Your food is so good!”
Nathan replied with a grin, “If you like, you can stick around; I can cook for you tomorrow too.” Just as he finished speaking, a
phone on the table rang.
He glanced at it; it was his agent, so he picked up, “What’s up? Didn’t I say I’d be hanging out with my sister these days?”
“What?”
“Barnett wants to perform with me?” Nathan’s excitement had him springing up from his seat. He grabbed a napkin to wipe his
mouth and continued, “Cool, got it. I’ll book a flight ASAP!”
Hanging up, Nathan picked up his guitar and said, “Star, I’ve got some urgent business. Here, take this; stay safe!”
“See you around, kiddo!” Nathan handed Astrid a massive taser from his bag, ruffled Roman’s hair, and dashed off.
Watching Nathan leave, Elio leisurely sipped his soup.
Perfect, finally, no one to disturb their peaceful family time.
After Dinner, Astrid tidied up the house and was about to rest when she received a message from Jon: “Star, Colton’s in a bad
way; he’s been causing a stir all night. You must come over ASAP, or he will tear my place apart!”
Astrid frowned; he’d been on medication for so long, and the toxins in his body should have been almost eliminated; what could
be going wrong?
She pondered momentarily, then stood up and said to Elio, who was working, “I need to step out.”
Elio stood up, “I’ll drive you.”

“No need; Roman will need to sleep soon; you stay with him.” With that, Astrid grabbed her car keys and headed out.
The traffic was a bit jammed.
It was already late when she reached Jon’s apartment complex.
She had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard noises from Jon’s apartment.
“For crying out loud, Colton, what the hell is wrong with you! I’ve had just about enough!”
“Put that down; that’s my keyboard!”
“Do you think I won’t smack you?”
Π
Realizing the situation was severe, Astrid quickly rang the doorbell.
A few seconds later, the door opened. Jon, seeing her, looked like he’d seen his savior, “Star, you’re finally here!”
“Uhm, Colton, what are you doing?” Astrid shouted into the apartment.
Upon hearing her voice, Colton just stared at her blankly.
Jon was hopping around on hot coals, “Star, Star, my keyboard, my keyboard!”
Astrid knew how vital that keyboard was to Jon, so she immediately said, “Can you put the keyboard down, please?”
“Beauty took you long enough!” Colton obediently put down the keyboard and, with a wronged look on his face, walked towards
Astrid, pointing at Jon, and started complaining, “You told him to take good care of me, but he’s been torturing me, making me
eat all kinds of disgusting things, and even made me drink stinky soup!”
Stinky soup?
Astrid gave Jon a puzzled look. Jon, clutching his keyboard, guiltily said, “Well, I was in a rush this morning and didn’t have time
to make fresh medicine, so I gave him the leftovers from yesterday. After he took the medicine, who knew it had gone bad? He
drank it and then turned into this...”
