Chapter 18
When Blaze heard “ex-husband,” his face darkened even more. He reached out to hold Astrid's small hand. “Apologize to Astrid, Lilith,” Blaze demanded
“I won't!"
Lilith gritted her teeth in anger. Astrid was a low country girl. She dropped out before finishing high school and now became a well-known designer. How could it be possible?
Astrid felt uneasy having her hand held by Blaze. She wanted to shake it off, but he wouldnt let her. ‘He always gets on my nerves whenever he sees me; Astrid thought to herself.
"I know it's hard to admit that someone like me is better than you. But what are you going to do about it?” Astrid said. “You must be proud of yourself, aren’t you?”
Lilith got enraged when Astrid revealed her mind. Her little face flushed in embarrassment.
"Well, lam proud of myself.”
Lilith was so humiliated but couldn't do anything about it. Astrid felt great to see her like that.
Asimple girl like Lilith was no rival for Astrid
"Lilith, I'm running out of patience here,’ Blaze said.
Blaze was still holding Astrid's small hand. He liked it this way. Her hand was so soft and tender.
“You were pretty rude just now, Lilith.”
Lilith flinched when she met Blaze's cold eyes.
"S-sorry.”
"What's that? I didn’t hear you."
Astrid flicked her hair. She was a pretty woman, and that movement made her even more charming. Blaze looked at Astrid. He knew she was being wily like a little fox.
She was never a pushover.
Astrid kept trying to shake her hand off, but Blaze only held it even tighter.
"I'm sorry.”
“You should be lucky your surname is Cohen.”
Otherwise, Lilith would suffer more than she could bear. No one had ever dared to offend Astrid before. The last person who offended Astrid lost his voice and couldn't speak for the rest of his life.
Josh pulled Lilith and hurried away from the farce.
Astrid shook off Blaze’s hand and left as well

“What took you guys so long? Astrid?"
Mark waited for Astrid for a long time. He tried to call her, but no one answered. He thought Astrid was lost "I got stuck in something, Mark."
"Let me tell you something. Blaze. Astrid has sacrificed a lot to help Gideon. You must thank her properly." "I wish I could, but I doubt Miss Graves wouldn't let me.”
Blaze spoke casually, pretending to be a gentleman. Astrid thought he was a hypocrite.
Astrid gritted her teeth. She glared at Blaze, warning him not to go too far.
"We havent'seen each other for so. long, Astrid. So I want to take this opportunity to catch up with you guys. I know Blaze is a good man."
Mark didn't notice that Astrid and Blaze were enemies at the moment. "Mark, I..."
"Miss Graves, you seem to fear me."
"Why would I fear you?"
Oops! She walked right into his trap.
Damn it!
"Good. Let's go in.”
Blaze had been depressed for the last few days because of what Astrid did, but he no longer felt so seeing her like this.
It served you right, girl; Blaze thought.
Astrid was twenty-four, and Blaze was eight years older than her.
"I saw the news. So you guys will shoot a commercial together?" "Yeah. We're doing our friend a favor.”
Astrid sat down next to Mark, while Blaze sat diagonally opposite her. “You must be hungry. Let's have some dessert first,” Mark said.
"I didn't expect you to remember that I loved dessert, Mark,’ Astrid said.
Back then, Astrid only took two weeks of classes at the Madoland Medical School, but she had already become famous there. She was still 2) legenddmong the school alumni at thamhoment.

"How could I forget that? I also ordered your favorite wine, 1869 Lafite.”
"Uh, Ahem!”
Astrid wag-choked. She had the =~ same wine the night she got drunk. Blaze é also liked this wine very much. Se) he I kept dozens of bottlesof it in the wine cellar of his villa. Content ~
Many people knew the wine was pretty pricey but rarely knew it was strong, including Astrid. Seeing Astric's reaction, Blaze stared at her with great interest.
Astrid raised her head and met his gaze. She coughed again, and her small face flushed from choking.
