"You just let her go like that?" Eva Miller seemed puzzled.

"What else do you want me to do?" Her purpose of going to the mall was simply to smooth things over and prevent Irene Morton from alarming Asher Land. Now that Irene sensibly left the mall, should she really follow her out to teach her a lesson?

Besides, giving lessons has never been her forte.

Eva couldn’t stop sighing, "Why is Irene so troublesome, like sticky gum you can’t get rid of? Oh, quickly tell me, what happened to her? Did she find another man?"

"Eva, don’t ask."

Suddenly, what Irene had said lingered in her mind.

She said, "Thanks to all of you, I angered my father to death, got kicked out of Morton Clan Group by my brother and sister-in-law, didn’t get a penny, my property and car were repossessed, my bank card frozen..."

For some reason, her heart felt a touch of unease.

After dropping off Eva, it was already evening when she got home, and Asher Land had just returned from the company as well.

She took his coat, pulled out shoes for him to change into, and even allowed him to hold her in his arms and kiss her, her attentiveness and submission had a hint of a dutiful wife and loving mother.

"Young Master, Miss Smith, the food is ready; would you like to eat now?" Nanny Garcia asked cautiously.

"Hmm."

Asher didn’t follow his usual routine of spending time with her in their room but instead led her by the waist towards the dining room.

Sophie felt another wave of frustration.

Regarding his sudden ’abstinence,’ she thought she might need to consult Eva Miller.

After dinner, Asher went to the study to work; Sophie went to the master bedroom, closed the door, took out her phone, and made a video call to Eva Miller.

"Sophie, what’s up? Didn’t we just meet today? Missing me already?"

"Stop joking." Sophie replied seriously, "I want to ask you something."

"What?"

"If your man hasn’t touched you for half a month, do you think that’s normal?"

"You mean... President Land hasn’t touched you for half a month?" Eva was almost left speechless, "No way."

"Hmm." Sophie nodded, "And I think this trend might continue."

"Is your charm declining lately?" Eva exclaimed, "Sophie, I’ve told you many times, as a woman, you can’t just wait for a man to spoil you. You need to be proactive yourself."

"I..."

It’s not like she hasn’t been proactive, but even when she was, the only interest he showed in her was limited to kissing.

"Sophie, be bolder. After all, your and President Land’s relationship is already beyond just intimacy. What are you afraid of? This kind of thing doesn’t have any other solution; it’s seduction, seduction, and more seduction — the bigger the gesture, the better the reaction from a man, right?"

"Alright, got it." Sophie hung up the call, knowing that Eva’s advice was hardly ever reliable. She was aware that Asher would probably work late tonight, and if she really followed Eva’s advice and disrupted his work, would that be too mean?

She went downstairs, brewed a cup of coffee herself, and prepared to head to the study.

She quietly peeked inside to see the man engrossed, sitting at the computer, his slender fingers typing swiftly on the keyboard.
