Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 915 - 911: Separated by a Milky Way Galaxy

Fine.

Asher Land truly feels now that his tolerance is extraordinarily large; to him, her shouting and yelling seem to mean nothing.

He still doesn’t get angry; he just reaches out to lift her skirt and moves his hand between her legs.

Sophie Smith pushes him away and, raising her hand, gives him a heavy slap.

The crisp sound echoes prominently in the silent room.

"You hit me?" His fair face instantly shows five bright red finger marks.

In his memory, this is the second time she slapped him.

The first time was because of Wyatt Sterling.

It was when she was filming Angel City, and there was some ambiguity between him and Wyatt Sterling. Angry, he took her home and said some harsh words, and when he was unprepared, she slapped him.

This time, it still couldn’t avoid being related to Wyatt Sterling.

He actually had a premonition that she would hit him this time, but he didn’t dodge at all.

Her hitting him, scolding him, on the contrary, made him feel a bit relieved inside.

Tonight, she was determined to leave here, but he wouldn’t allow it so easily; both their personalities were so stubborn, and neither wanted to easily compromise in this incident. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

His tall figure blocked the doorway, leaving Sophie without any chance to escape.

"Is it interesting?" Sophie raised her eyes, her calm gaze sweeping over him.

She knew she never could be a match for Asher Land.

In that instant, she seemed to give up all resistance; she lay back on the bed, covering her body with the blanket, and turned on her side, with her back facing the man still standing at the door.

Asher Land knew, this was already her greatest concession.

He said nothing more; in front of her, he removed his clothes and put on a robe.

Gently, he got into bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down beside her.

The moment Sophie touched his warm skin, she instinctively moved her body to the side, keeping a little distance from him.

Asher Land’s lips curved into a wry smile upon seeing her keep moving to the side; one more move and she’d likely be sleeping on the floor.

Having no choice, he sensibly kept a distance from her.

Thus, they lay on the bed apart, one on each side, as if separated by the Milky Way Galaxy.

Recently, Sophie’s mental state has been consistently poor, with very little sleep each day, sometimes staying awake all through the night.

Originally, she intended to leave after Asher Land fell asleep, but without waiting for him to sleep, she fell asleep first herself.

He lounged on the bed, propping his head up with one hand, watching her side, observing her peaceful sleeping face, listening to her even breathing.

In that instant, he felt all his previous anxiety and restlessness melt away.

"Senior Brother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

Suddenly, it’s as if she’s caught in a nightmare, her entire body curls up, trembling violently.

"Sophie?" He softly calls her name, wrapping his strong arms tightly around her body as if to calm her, but it has no effect on her dreaming state.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I harmed you, ..."

She repetitively murmurs "sorry" over and over.

Sweat on her forehead and tears at the corners of her eyes run down her delicate, exquisite face, causing a pang of pain in his heart.
