Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 533 - 529: Come with me, will you? (3)
Her indifference made him feel even more distressed and guilty.
"Asher Land, I’m a bit tired and want to rest for a while."
Her voice indeed sounded somewhat weary. He said nothing more, pulling her body close, letting her lean on his shoulder.
"I’m sorry..." he whispered, kissing her forehead gently.
A cold tear fell down, landing on the back of his hand.
He was startled; he could sense the change in her emotions.
"Sophie Smith, please, don’t stay silent, okay? Just say whatever you want to say, alright? Don’t keep it in your heart. I know this time I’m the bastard..." He really panicked; the lack of her response made him genuinely anxious and fearful.
"I want to leave here..." Her voice choked up a bit, "Asher Land, I want to leave here. Can you let me go, please? I want to go back to Eastern City."
He let out a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, his large hand gently caressing her face.
"But, I can’t bear to let you go."
Truly, he couldn’t bear it.
Her small hand tightly encircled his waist, her head against his chest, eyes closed.
She didn’t know how many days like this, nestled together with him, were left. She was very fond of every feeling he gave her.
Whether happiness or sadness.
...
The car circled outside and eventually drove back to the old Land Family residence.
"Oh, Sophie Smith, you’ve finally come back." Luke Land, seeing Sophie enter the house, let out a huge sigh of relief. If she didn’t return soon, with Asher Land’s fiery temper, he might cause an uproar in the entire old Land Family residence, and no one would have a good day.
"Sister Sophie." Irene Morton came down from upstairs, and seeing Sophie return, unexpectedly, she gave her a slight smile as if to express that she was still very welcome to come back.
"Sister Sophie, don’t be mad at Brother Asher. The last incident was my fault."
"Irene!" Luke Land pulled her to the side. This troublesome girl, why does she have to bring up the most sensitive topics?
Asher Land’s face didn’t look very pleasant. He held Sophie’s hand and took her upstairs to the master bedroom.
"Irene, I warn you, now Third Brother’s mood isn’t very good. During this period, don’t bring up the incident between you two in front of him and Sophie!" Luke Land warned aloud.
"Why should I?" Irene crossed her arms, letting out a cold laugh, "I’m his fiancée. Is it not normal for me to have been with him?"
"He now sleeps in the same bed with another woman every day. I haven’t said anything. Have you ever seen such a magnanimous fiancée like me?"
"Don’t speak too soon about that. Third Brother has neither acknowledged your marriage nor announced it publicly. Don’t crown yourself with that title just yet." Even though Luke Land didn’t agree with Sophie and Asher being together, nor with Asher opposing Nathan Land, he found Irene’s overbearing tone intolerable and slightly distasteful.
"Hah, this is set in stone. Uncle Land has already agreed." Irene didn’t care whether Asher Land agreed or not; as long as Nathan Land stood by her, she had nothing to fear.
"I say, Miss Irene, you have quite a thick skin, doing this so-called clinging with much finesse." Luke Land sarcastically remarked, "But I advise you, if you can’t win his heart, marrying him is useless. You’ll end up guarding an empty room every day, like a lonely woman deep in the secluded boudoir—that’s not good."
