Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 529 - 525 Women Still Need to Be More Reserved (Part 1)

"No need to wait for him, just announce it to the public!" Nathan Land said and was about to head to the stage.

"Brother Land, this isn’t appropriate," Colton Morton intervened.

This engagement matter, if only the bride’s side is present, it would seem a bit disrespectful to announce it. Although he wanted to settle this sooner, Asher Land had to be present.

"Do you think I’m unaware of his little schemes? He’s just avoiding, claiming he’s unwell is nonsense!"

"Brother Land, let’s just forget about today," Colton Morton chuckled awkwardly. "Irene said, Asher is really unwell, it seems true. Irene wouldn’t lie to me."

Nathan Land shifted his gaze to Irene Morton, who instinctively lowered her head.

"Bring him back from the hospital tomorrow," Nathan Land instructed Luke Land.

"Oh..." Luke Land mumbled in agreement. Damn it, where was he supposed to find Asher Land tonight? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

...

Her head was painfully throbbing. She rubbed her temples, waking from her sleep.

"Mr. Davis, she’s awake..." An excited female voice sounded beside her ear, followed by the sound of a door opening.

She opened her eyes, looking at the crystal chandelier above, and as she moved to sit up, someone pressed her back down.

"You’d better rest for a while, don’t move," Nolan Davis said, sitting by the bed, smiling at her.

Purple luxurious drapes floated beside the court-style bed. She glanced around this completely unfamiliar environment, noticing the room’s luxurious yet elegant decor.

"Where is this?" she asked, furrowing her brow.

"My home."

"What?" Despite the pain, she sat up abruptly. "I need to go back."

"Go back?" Nolan Davis chuckled lightly. "Miss Smith, where exactly do you want to go back to? Back to the Land Family? To find Third Young Master Land?"

His series of questions rendered her speechless. Her small hands tightly clutched the soft white sheets, her eyelashes trembling.

"Anyway, I can’t stay here with you." She flung the sheets aside, but upon seeing her attire—which had been changed from her original gown to a sheer silk nightdress with a tantalizing neckline—she quickly retreated under the covers.

"Please leave, I need to get dressed."

"Haha..." Nolan Davis burst into laughter at her awkwardness. "It was my car that hit you. Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet, I have to take responsibility for you."

"Taking responsibility is fine, just cover my cab fare..." she looked up cautiously.

Nolan Davis shook his head with a smile, "First, rest here in peace. Once the doctor confirms you’re okay, I’ll let you go."

He lifted the covers and raised her bandaged leg.

"What are you doing?" Sophie Smith reflexively tried to pull her leg back.

"Don’t move, let me see," he ignored her resistance and examined it carefully. "Luckily, it’s not a fracture, just a scrape."

"If it’s just a scrape, then it’s not a big deal," Sophie Smith retracted her leg back under the covers. "I really need to leave here immediately."

"You’re in such a hurry to see Third Young Master Land? Women should show some restraint. He was just with another woman doing that kind of thing last night. If you forgive him today, he might think you can’t live without him."
