Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement

"Alexander, have you missed us?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Sophie used "us."

"Of course, I miss Mommy a lot."

Sophie exchanged a cautious glance with Alexander, signaling that there was someone else behind.

Alexander, a bit belatedly, took small steps toward Asher Land.

"Uncle, are you feeling better?"

Before going to the United States, Sophie had told Alexander that Asher Land was sick and she needed to take care of him.

Seeing Alexander begin to "engage" with Asher Land, Sophie’s mood relaxed a bit.

"Hey, Asher Land, Alexander is talking to you, at least show some response..." Sophie couldn’t help but tug on his sleeve when she saw Asher Land standing there with a frosty expression. Sophie realized she would have to teach him how to interact with kids, though it seemed like a daunting task.

Asher Land’s stiff mouth curled slightly.

"Much better, thank you."

"I’m glad you’re better." Alexander spoke with the air of a little adult, "Now that you’re better, Mommy doesn’t have to worry about you every day. I’m most afraid of Mommy being sad."

Asher Land and Sophie exchanged a glance, seemingly both astonished by Alexander’s maturity.

Asher Land didn’t speak further. He bent down and suddenly lifted Alexander up.

"Uncle..." Alexander thought Asher Land was about to do something, feeling a bit uneasy.

He simply carried Alexander toward the hall.

Sophie genuinely felt that this version of Asher Land had some semblance of a father...

The family of three sat on the sofa as Sophie tried hard to ease the originally awkward and tense atmosphere between father and son. Finally, when she was about to get a sore throat, she managed to lighten the atmosphere somewhat...

Seeing the harmonious scene, Nanny Garcia also smiled contentedly but suddenly thought of someone.

"Young Master, I have something to tell you." Nanny Garcia walked up to Asher Land, hesitating.

"Speak directly."

"But..." Nanny Garcia glanced at Sophie, "Young Master, let’s talk privately."

Asher Land furrowed his brow slightly, seeming to know what Nanny Garcia wanted to say.

He placed Alexander, who was sitting on his knee, to the side and stepped outside with Nanny Garcia.

Sophie felt suspicious, wanting to follow, but after thinking for a moment, she decided not to.

...

"Young Master, please let Miss Irene go." Abigail Garcia rubbed her hands, not daring to look into Asher Land’s eyes.

Nanny Garcia didn’t know why things between Asher Land and Irene Morton had unconsciously turned out this way. She certainly hoped for happiness between Asher Land and Sophie, but seeing Irene’s lifeless appearance made her heart ache too.

She remembered how cheerful and open Irene was as a child, always with a smile and calling after Brother Asher over and over again, but now...

Asher Land ruthlessly locked her in the underground cellar where no sunlight reached. Back when Irene accidentally killed Wyatt Sterling, Asher Land couldn’t bear to send her to prison, but now locking her there is no different than imprisonment, right?

"Young Master, Mr. Morton has come looking for Miss Irene several times, but everyone followed your instructions and did not return Miss Irene to him. Mr. Morton, his health is failing, please let Miss Irene go home. For years, she has been by your side, unable to fulfill her filial duties to her father, and now..."
