Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 676 - 672: I Want to Bring Her Back (Part 1)
Even though Eva Miller was quite dissatisfied with Luke Land now, once Asher Land started talking, how could she dare to say anything else?
She also kept silent with some frustration, and this gathering seemed to end on a sour note.
At their farewell, Asher Land walked up to Sophie Smith and opened the car door for her.
"I’m sorry, but you may have to stay at the Davis Family for another two days. After that, I’ll come to get you."
Although he wanted to bring her back to his side now, the Land Family was still dealing with the aftermath of Nathan Land’s death.
Moreover, Irene Morton was still living in the East Garden, and he had to sort things out with her first.
In the car.
Luke Land rolled down the window and turned to look outside.
"Feeling down?" Seeing Luke Land in such a dejected state made Asher Land feel uncomfortable too. "Is it worth it for a woman?"
"Don’t say anything, and don’t try to advise me." Luke Land was harboring a lot of anger, knowing it was all related to Eva Miller.
Asher Land naturally understood Luke Land’s feelings; he knew what it was like to care deeply about someone, just like how he felt about Sophie Smith.
...
Returning to the Land Family, Asher Land glanced around the hall but couldn’t see Irene Morton’s shadow.
Without thinking much, he headed upstairs toward Irene Morton’s room.
The door was ajar; he knocked twice and called her name, but there was no response from inside.
Without much thought, he pushed the door open and walked in, but the scene before him...
Irene Morton stood by the bed, stripped down to just a pair of plain white panties.
He instinctively turned his body away.
"I knocked. Why didn’t you answer?" Asher Land asked in a deep voice.
A hint of sly delight rose in Irene Morton’s heart. She thought, why should she answer him? If she had, would he have seen her bare body like this? She admitted she was sometimes pathetic, debasing herself over and over for a man who didn’t love her...
She didn’t answer his question, instead moving softly and slowly towards him, gazing up at him.
"Put your clothes on first."
"Alright..." Irene Morton deliberately dragged out the end of her words, pouting, "I didn’t expect you to be such a gentleman, Brother Asher. But if Sister Sophie were standing in front of you like this, you’d probably be all over her, right?"
She mocked him secretly.
"Ha, you really do know me well." Asher Land chuckled lightly, speaking slowly and calmly.
"You..." Irene Morton originally intended to provoke Asher Land, but unexpectedly, she was rendered speechless so easily by him.
She picked up the nightgown she had just taken off the bed and put it on, then turned around.
"So tell me, Brother Asher, why did you personally come to find me?" Irene Morton lay on the bed, her back against the headboard.
She knew it wouldn’t be anything good.
"You’ve stayed here for a while. Can you consider leaving?" Asher Land spoke candidly and directly, not avoiding the topic at all.
Leave?
Sorry, she really hadn’t thought about that.
But in responding to Asher Land, she still took care to consider her tone and wording, not wanting to anger him.
"Brother Asher, I know the reason you want me to leave now is because Uncle Land passed away, and you want to bring Sister Sophie back, right?"
Asher Land slightly lifted his chin, his thin lips lightly pressed together, his eyes dark as ink staring into the distance, making it hard to guess what he was thinking now.
