Chapter 9
“What's the matter?"
"Don't you know?"
Astrid was dressed gracefully today. Although she didn't wear any makeup, her delicate facial features still looked very charming.
All the men passing by were attracted by her appearance.
Blaze's face suddenly turned cold. He approached Astrid as if he was telling them she was his woman.
Milo rolled his eyes secretly. Blaze behaved like a child who was trying to protect his favorite snack.
"I'm tired. Just cut to the chase."
Astrid thought Blaze must have found out something about her through Mark just now, so she wanted to take the chance to make things clear. She didn't want to become Blaze's enemy.
After all, the Cohen family was very powerful. It would do her no good if she provoked Blaze.
Astrid went to the table on the side and sat down. She opened the lunch box on it and began to gobble the food. It was just ordinary fast food, but she ate it with relish.
Blaze's face softened when he noticed that Astrid was very tired.
He walked into the lounge, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
Blaze felt he was impressed every time he saw Astrid after the divorce. He really didn't expect her to be so talented.
"Don't look at me like that. I've always been like this."
While eating, Astrid didn't ignore Blaze's gaze.
Blaze found her a little adorable when she was bumbling with food stuffed in her mouth.
“Why did you marry me?"
"For the secret medicine your family has. You know my legs are injured. It can help me recover."
Blaze really had a keen mind. Even if Baxter tried to hide it, he still sensed something wrong.
"That's all?"
"Baxter and my grandfather are from the same town. He agreed to give me the medicine, but he said | had to marry you."
"Yes."
Astrid knew Gideon was not an ordinary man as Blaze came to visit the patient in person.
"He used to be my comrade, who was injured recently during a mission."
“Really? Don't you think you should thank me?"
She heard from Baxter that Blaze used to be a soldier. Blaze took over the Cohen family's business after he was discharged from the army five years ago. As for his other past, she was not interested.
In short, Blaze was a very powerful man, and Astrid couldn't afford to offend him.
"I'll treat you and Mark to dinner when you've got time.”
"Forget about the dinner. Can | ask for something else?"
It was rare that Blaze owed her a favor. Astrid tried hard to think about what she wanted as she didn't want to miss this chance.
"What do you want?"
