One Night Only
Feng Apartment

Feng invited Astrid into his apartment. The apartment is located in Sai Wan Ho. Astrid swept a glance at all corners of the room. The scenery that Apartment Feng displayed was a view of the sea.

Feng opened one of the room doors.

"This room is empty, so you can occupy it, it is not as big as the main room, but I think it is quite comfortable," Feng bargained.

Astrid looked into the room. Though not as big as the room in Eleanor's house. But, the view of this room is very beautiful, Astrid can see the pool and sea from here.

"This room is very spacious, when compared to my room in Venetia," Astrid said. "But the rent must be very expensive" said Astrid. Moreover, she used to room with Su Yi since Selena gave birth.

"You don't have to think about it, like I said, if you already have the money you can pay or you can help me clean it up. Can you cook?" ask Feng.

Actually Feng has a person who always cleans his apartment every day. Later Feng would have to tell the cleaning aunty to clean up when Feng asked only. Apartment cleaning services have been included in the service apartment.

"Yes, I can" Astrid replied.

"Perfect, you can make breakfast and maybe dinner for us" Feng suggested.

"Deal," Astrid said, she was glad Feng gave her leniency. Astrid promised to clean the apartment very well and cook good food for Feng.

Feng stepped up and opened the planting cupboard that was in the room.

"Is this closet enough?" ask Feng. Because he thought the collection of women's clothing must be very much.

"It's also very big, believe me, my clothes are not much, even that's what bought Miss Eleanor," Astrid chuckled at her fate. Feng noticed Astrid's sad countenance, accidentally seeing Astrid wiping away the falling tears. Feng could see the kink Astrid displayed. Though he was also fragile because of the misfortune that befell his family.

Feng's heart was beating rapidly, Feng was like he wanted to protect Astrid. Feng could see the sincerity of Astrid's heart. Astrid and Hope's interactions can explain that Astrid is a very kind and loving woman.

Feng drew closer to Astrid, he then hugged Astrid's body to give her strength.

"At least you guys are fine," said Feng calming Astrid. Astrid who did need strength returned Feng's embrace tightly as if pulling Feng's strength to move to him.

"You're right, I should be grateful, Grandma is fine, she's my only family and I can't afford to lose her" Astrid said. Astrid had been cared for by Su Yi since she was a baby. However, ever since both of Astrid's parents died the full Astrid upbringing was done by Su Yi.

Astrid's mother died when Astrid was five, while her father died when Astrid was fifteen. From that moment on Su Yi took care of her. Su Yi went back to sea alone. However, Astrid did not want to be left alone while Su Yi was at sea. Finally Su Yi invited Astrid to come along. Teen Astrid is quite helpful because she learns fast.

"I'll show you the bathroom." Feng parsed his embrace and pulled Astrid's hand to follow her. Feng opened the bathroom door and showed it to Astrid. "Sorry, there's no bathtub" Feng said.

"But this is more than enough, I like it, everything here, it's very comfortable and more than our old house" Astrid said happily.

"I'm glad you like this room," relieved Feng. Astrid notices the bathroom is just surrounded by glass.

"I just realized, if this bathroom is transparent," Astrid said. Feng just smiled, one of the things he chose this apartment was because this bathroom and the bathroom had transparent glass. According to Feng, the uniqueness of the bathroom is a plus.

"You take it easy, if you want to take a shower, you can press this button," pointed Feng at a button, as the glass became blurry, so that the person who bathes in the bathroom is not visible anymore.

"Waw, very sophisticated," praised Astrid sincerely.

"Partially, you don't have to push that button either, because this bathroom is in the room, so no one will peek" Feng explained. He pressed the button again and made the glass back transparent.

"You're right," chuckled Astrid.

"So when are you moving?" ask Feng.

"Quickly, I will pack my things this afternoon" Astrid said.

"Where are you going now?" ask Feng.

"I'm going back to Eleanor's lady's house" Astrid said.

"Thank you, I don't know what to reply in what way" Asrid said sincerely. Because if it kept bothering Feng, he would have been disinclined as well. Astrid is determined to get a job and rent a house herself.

They left Feng's apartment and Feng drove Astrid to Eleanor's house. Astrid went to her room, before she opened the Hope's room and looked at the contents. Hope is gone. Astrid was sad that she would rarely meet Hope. However, Astrid is happy Hope has been with both her parents.

Astrid took the file for her to start applying for jobs. Then Astrid immediately entered the application to Fresh from the Sea which was opening job vacancies for several positions.

After submitting the proposal, Astrid returns to Eleanor's house.

"Astrid!" eleanor was watching in the living room. When Astrid took the file for the proposal, she did not see Eleanor. Looks like Eleanor was gone too or maybe in her room.

"Yes, Madam! My mistress is moving in today" Astrid told Eleanor.

"You moved out today too? Hope has also moved on" said Eleanor sadly. "Home back quiet," he continued. Astrid could not bear to see Eleanor's sorrow. But, the existence of Astrid in that house had no effect on Eleanor either. Because what Eleanor needs is her grandson, Hope, not Astrid.

Astrid herself could not stay with Eleanor because she was disinclined. For him enough Eleanor had paid the cost of treating Su Yi, no longer bothered by Astrid.

"Yes, as I said earlier, I have earned a place for me to live" Astrid explained. He approached Eleanor and sat down beside Eleanor.

"I can't force you, you're a single woman, and you want to have your own privacy. But, I have agreed with Kevin, every weekend they will stay here" explained Eleanor.

"Are they getting married? And when?" cecar Astrid's.

"Somehow, they don't seem to have decided yet, I wish they'd get married soon and Selena's back pregnant, so that I have a lot of grandchildren to fill this house. You know if they have a lot of kids, of course the room in Kevin's apartment won't be enough for the kids" Eleanor said. He imagined if it happened, it could be ascertained that his house would be crowded.

"It's a pity, when they look harmonious" Astrid said.

"Yes, I can see Kevin is so fond of even adoring Selena, I never saw Kevin as happy as that and also when I said that he did not approve of the relationship, he was cool to keep Selena," said Eleanor. He recalled his discussion with Kevin this afternoon.

"May Sea recall the events of his six years" Astrid said.

"Why did you even think of that?" asked Eleanor in surprise.

"Because I can see, that Sea I mean Selena, a little stiff against Hope," explains Astrid.

"That's because she still thinks, she's still a single woman with no children" Eleanor said.

"True, that's why I want him to remember as soon as possible, so that Hope feels the presence of her mother," Astrid continued.

"You're right, I hope Selena remembers immediately that she has a child, I don't want Hope to be disappointed and sad" Eleanor added.

"Madam, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready, I'll be picked up soon" Astrid said. He stands.

"Yes, please, may you be comfortable living in a new place" said Eleanor sincerely.

Astrid headed to her room, and started packing. After finishing packing, Astrid sent a message to Feng that she was ready.

Astrid asked Feng, not to go in because she was reluctant and did not want Eleanor to ask so much, why did Feng pick her up?
