Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 825 - 821: Have I Lost My Temper at You Lately?
The four walked together to the underground parking lot. Just as Robert Williams was about to open the car door, Asher Land stopped him.
"You take Irene back."
Having said this, he turned around and walked over to Sophie Smith, opened the car door, and sat down in the passenger seat.
Sophie Smith saw Asher Land already in the car, so without thinking too much, she quickened her pace, also preparing to head over.
Under Irene Morton’s resentful gaze, she returned to her car.
"Are... are we going to my place?" she asked with some uncertainty.
He felt his head was still a bit foggy; his head rested against the seatback, slightly tilted toward the car window. Hearing Sophie Smith’s question, he just casually responded with a "hmm."
Knowing he was a bit exhausted, Sophie Smith didn’t disturb him much, quietly driving the car, though occasionally she would turn her head to look at his sleeping face.
Actually, when this man is asleep, he doesn’t give off a strong domineering impression; rather, he unwittingly exudes a touch of tenderness.
His fair skin, long eyelashes, high nose bridge, sensuous thin lips, angular facial contours...
This man seems to be meticulously crafted by God.
Sophie Smith once again found herself lost in thought over him.
Realizing she was still driving, for the safety of both of them, she decided it was necessary to stop her infatuated behavior.
She withdrew her gaze, eyes resting on the straight road ahead.
Thinking about how today he chose her in front of Irene Morton at the hospital, her heart was filled with inexplicable joy.
After all, last time at the hospital, they seemed to have a minor conflict, didn’t they? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Sophie Smith’s mind hadn’t stopped wandering until the car parked downstairs, bringing her back to reality.
She unbuckled the seatbelt but found that Asher Land still had his eyes closed.
Was he asleep?
She dared not make a sound, holding her breath; even her breathing was somewhat uneven, afraid of waking him.
One of the consequences of having too much medication is drowsiness.
Asher Land was experiencing it firsthand, even though he tried hard to stay alert, his eyelids stubbornly closed.
When he awoke, the sky was tinged with a layer of evening glow, red and beautiful.
Sophie Smith quickly retrieved her gaze that had rested on him all afternoon as she saw him open his eyes.
"Why didn’t you wake me?" he said, somewhat annoyed, displeased that she had seen this side of him, which he didn’t like or wasn’t accustomed to.
"Oh, how could I dare?" Sophie Smith laughed lightly, "I’m so afraid you’d lose your temper with me."
"Have I lost my temper with you recently?"
"Doesn’t last time at the hospital count?"
"I was merely calmly asking you to leave."
"..."
Alright, it indeed doesn’t count. In her memory, if Asher Land were genuinely angry, he would either throw things, yell at her, or grab her by the throat, wishing she would just die...
Of course, that was a long, long time ago.
So long that she had almost forgotten.
Asher Land shook his head; it seemed that he would have to be careful in the future, or else she’d think she had upset him, feeling wronged in the process.
The two got out of the car and pressed the elevator going to the apartment.
She knocked on the door twice, then heard some tiny, scattered sounds inside before the door was somewhat awkwardly opened.
Alexander raised his head high, looking at Asher Land standing outside the door, his little eyes somewhat evasive.
