Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 692 - 688: Not Used to Her Saying Sweet Words (Part 1)
He naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, enclosing her in his embrace.
"How was your day?"
He softly asked, and Sophie thought he was actually trying to find out if Irene had given her a hard time today.
She didn’t answer but simply looked up, gazing at him.
"Not good at all. I missed you a lot, having not seen you all day."
Asher Land’s grip around her waist tightened noticeably, the surprise still lingering in his eyes, which Sophie caught.
Clearly, this man wasn’t used to her speaking sweet words.
He affectionately brushed a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, his lips curling into a smile.
The sky rumbled with thunder, accompanied by a streak of lightning.
Sophie’s body instinctively shivered, and almost as a reflex, he buried her head in his chest.
"Let’s go in, it’s going to rain heavily soon."
"Okay."
The two of them walked into East Garden together. Sophie successfully avoided having dinner with Irene tonight by using the excuse of needing to take care of Alexander, having the servants bring the meal to her room.
Asher Land hardly ate anything in the dining room either and quickly returned to the room.
As a result, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more tense, as if a war could break out at any moment between Irene and Eva Miller.
Luke Land coughed awkwardly twice, then pulled Eva Miller up by the hand.
"Brother, we have something to do. We won’t continue eating." With that, not giving Eva a chance to protest, Luke Land led her out of the dining room. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"What do you mean by that? You’re not even letting me finish my meal?" Eva grumbled.
"I just thought since you’re eating with Irene, you might not have much of an appetite. If you’re still hungry, I’ll take you to eat now."
"Where are you taking me at this late hour, with such bad weather, as if you can’t see?" Eva couldn’t help but complain.
"Then, how about I ’feed’ you?" He said, with a suggestive undertone.
"No way!" How could Eva not catch the hidden meaning in his words? Damn it, doesn’t this man’s mind ever get tired of being filled with such thoughts all day long? Not a moment of decency.
Luke carefully observed her angry expression, with her little pout, her big round eyes glaring at him fiercely, her little face tinged with an adorable blush. She had a slight baby fat that made you want to pinch her cheeks...
He always felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
His mind was desperately trying to recall certain things. He had seen so many women that it was reasonable not to remember, but Eva gave him a somewhat unique feeling, so he really wanted to recall it. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
"So it was you!"
"What are you talking about?" Eva shot Luke a glance as if he were a strange creature, not knowing what new discovery he had made.
Luke remembered, about two years ago, under Nathan Land’s orders, he went to Eastern City to ’monitor’ Asher Land. At that time, he found out about Sophie Smith’s presence around Asher. To sabotage their relationship, during one incident at a hotel, he drugged Asher into unconsciousness, and at the same time stripped the woman dining with him and placed her in his bed. And the woman dining with Asher wasn’t Eva Miller, who else could it have been?
Now he couldn’t help but secretly rejoice that Eva, this Little Chili, had no chance of discovering that he was the one who did that back then, otherwise, ...
Recalling Eva’s fiery temper, he felt a shiver run through his heart.
