Sophie Smith couldnāt be bothered to deal with him; their relationship was just like this, with nothing able to compensate for it.
There was no warmth, no affection between them, only mutual dislike and suspicion.
She didnāt know why, but a wave of discomfort inexplicably rose in her heart.
"Asher Land, canāt you be less obsessive?" she tried to maintain a calm tone, "We fight every day; arenāt you tired?"
He was first stunned, then began to digest what she had said.
Actually, he didnāt want to fight with her, but the reality always contradicted his wishes.
If he didnāt fight with her, heād have no sense of existence at all; sheād simply ignore him.
The car fell into silence, and after a long while, he rolled down the window and called Robert Williams into the car.
"Drive back," he ordered in a deep voice.
The Land Family villa.
Irene Morton kept dialing Asher Landās phone, but it was always in a state of no answer.
Today, both her father and brother are going back to Europe, and she wanted Asher Land to go to the airport with them.
She actually had some little scheme in mind.
If Asher Land was willing to accompany her to the airport, it would prove she had some status in his heart. This way, even if her father had opinions about her staying in Eastern City, he could only keep them, as it was an indisputable fact that her father wanted to win over Asher Land.
She seemed indifferent to worldly matters, but she had a certain understanding of many things.
For example, she should learn to approach Asher Land, even if not for herself, then for the sake of the Morton Clan Group.
"Miss Irene, the young master is back!" Nanny Garcia spotted a car driving into the villa.
"Really?" Irene Morton dashed outside.
Asher Land and Sophie Smith got off the car simultaneously, and Ireneās eyes instantly dimmed.
She could see that Asher Land had a near-obsessive dependence on Sophie Smith; it seemed he couldnāt be apart from her for a moment.
As they walked side by side, Irene had to admit they looked like a picturesque scene together, so beautiful and pleasing.
But she had to interrupt.
"Brother Asher!" Irene walked up to them, raising her signature bright smile.
"Whatās up?"
"Oh, are you free now? My father and brother are going to Europe today, and I want you to accompany me to the airport, to see them off together."
"You want to send them off?" Asher Land paused and then said, "Iāll ask Robert Williams to take you to the airport."
"Brother Asher, thatās not what I meant." How could he just take her words out of context, "I want you to come with me."
She seriously reiterated.
"I donāt have time."
It wasnāt that he wanted to reject Irene; he simply wasnāt interested in socializing with anyone from the Mortons other than Irene.
Ireneās disappointment was clearly written on her face, but what could be done? Could she forcibly drag him along?
"I recall you seem to have free time this afternoon; why wonāt you accompany Irene?" Sophie Smith couldnāt help but interject.
Seeing Irene being rejected made her feel a bit uneasy, so she deliberately undermined him; after all, he usually doted on Irene, didnāt he?
Therefore, he probably wouldnāt cruelly refuse again, right?
Asher Landās expression clearly showed displeasure after being undermined, and he cast a disgruntled glance at Sophie Smith before taking the car keys from Robert Williams, who stood behind him.
"Letās go to the airport," he said to Irene.
She should have been happy, but thinking that his agreement was merely due to Sophie Smithās words, it seemed not worth being too delighted.
