Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 880 - 876: Boring? Childish?
He stood under the showerhead, the slightly cool water gliding over his skin, temporarily relieving his fatigue.
Just as he was enjoying this comfort, with a "bang," the door suddenly swung open. Asher Land hadn’t had time to grab the towel beside him for cover, resulting in Sophie Smith seeing him in his entirety.
Seeing it was her who barged in, Asher Land couldn’t help but lower his guard.
"If you want to do something, wait until I finish showering," he continued leisurely washing himself, while Sophie Smith stood beside him, showing no intention of leaving.
She clutched her phone, looking somewhat troubled.
"Did you come in here just to watch me shower?"
Of course not, Sophie thought for a moment, but still voiced her doubt.
"Where did you take Isabella Yates? Edward Harrison just called me to ask you directly."
Sophie’s heart was somewhat uneasy.
"Took her to a deserted wilderness to feed the dogs." His lips curled into an innocent smile, but the sight of that smile made Sophie’s scalp tingle.
"Asher Land, can you not do this?" Sophie spoke helplessly, "It’s true I dislike Isabella Yates, but I don’t need you to revenge her for me, I..."
"Come here." Sophie hadn’t finished speaking when he interrupted her.
"I..."
"If you want to know where I’ve dropped her off, obediently listen to me, understood?"
Asher Land was known for his decisiveness, and Sophie didn’t resist him.
She’d become smarter, realizing he asked her to come over essentially to help him shower. This man, with his hands, yet often prefers not to use them.
He said nothing, so she took initiative, which Asher Land found satisfactory.
Sophie finished washing him, fetched a clean bathrobe, and helped him put it on.
"Alright, can you tell me Isabella Yates’ whereabouts now? I’m still waiting to call Edward Harrison back."
She didn’t shy away from her intention in helping him shower.
"Are you sure you don’t want to extend her punishment a bit?" His large hand stroked her smooth cheek, eyes tinged with a playful smile.
"I’m not as boring or as childish as you, just tell me quickly."
Boring?
Childish?
His wholehearted intention to stand up for her, yet in her eyes, became boring, became childish?
He directly threw the white towel he’d been using to wipe his hair onto the ground.
Sophie was startled by his sudden action, paused briefly, and then realized he was angry.
"I,..." Words, once spoken, are like water poured out, impossible to retract even if she wanted to.
"I’m sorry, I know you meant well, but I don’t want that, you know? Sometimes, the punishments you give them are too severe, there’s really no need..."
Sophie spoke carefully, head lowered.
Alright, every time he wanted to be angry with her, but the moment he saw her pitiful appearance, he couldn’t bring himself to be.
"Sophie, I can’t bear to, nor do I like seeing you bullied by others, you can only be bullied by me, Asher Land, understood?" He domineeringly pulled her into his arms, the voice full of possessiveness coming from above her head.
Sophie’s body stiffened for a moment, then she came to her senses, and she wrapped her hands around his broad, warm back.
In life, having a man who spoils and cares for her this much, isn’t that a kind of blessing?
Sophie thought, Asher Land must be a gift granted to her by the heavens.
