Chapter 279 - His World She Could Never Enter (1)
Chapter 279 of "Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement" starts with unexpected events: Sophie Smith soaked in the bathtub, closing her eyes.She knew that she could never enter... Find out more!
Sophie Smith soaked in the bathtub, closing her eyes.She knew that she could never enter his world; they were not people from the same world.
Now, she didnāt even qualify to stand at his birthday party!
"Sophie."
Asher Land knocked on the bathroom door a few times. Itās been so long, and she still hasnāt come out. Could she have fallen asleep in the bathtub? That woman, always so muddle-headed.
"If you donāt make a sound, Iām coming in." Just as Asher Land was about to push the door open, Sophie was one step ahead.
She stood in front of him, one hand on the doorknob, the other wrapped in a towel, barefoot.
Without her high heels, she didnāt even reach Asher Landās shoulders, so she had to look up at him.
"Is there something you need?"
"No, I thought you fell asleep. Hurry up and get dressed, come downstairs for dinner."
Sophie gave a nod, then walked to the bedroom and started changing her clothes right in front of him without much concealment.
Perhaps it was too wild last night, her arms were sore, and she just couldnāt fasten her bra.
He walked over silently, his large hands gently caressing her back for a moment, then helped her fasten it.
After getting dressed, she and Asher Land walked downstairs together.
She kept thinking about what Irene Morton said not long ago, that the Land Family people would be coming from Europe; she probably couldnāt stay here any longer.
The meal was relatively peaceful, though Irene Morton frequently made sarcastic remarks, which Sophie had grown accustomed to.
From the start, she knew Irene Mortonās feelings for Asher Land were anything but simple. Now, Irene couldnāt tolerate any woman related to Asher Land.
Especially since she and Asher Land had such an intimate bedmate relationship.
After the meal, Sophie needed to go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup. Asher Land insisted on taking her there, but she firmly refused.
In the end, Asher Land compromised and instructed the family driver to take her.
After Sophie left, Irene Morton eagerly discussed Asherās birthday party with him.
"Brother Asher, Iāve drafted the menu for your birthday party. Would you like to take a look?"
"I originally thought your birthday should be held in a grand manner, but Uncle Land said he just wanted a gathering of the family, so we have to go along with his wishes."
"But if you think just a family meal is boring, I can help plan some entertainment activities, ..."
Irene Morton kept chattering on, but Asher Land wasnāt in the mood to listen.
"Since itās a matter for the Lands, it should be handled by the Lands."
There was a distinct aloofness in Asher Landās tone.
How could Irene not detect the implication in his words? She wanted Sophie not to attend his birthday, to let Sophie know she was merely an outsider, but now Asherās words also treated Irene as an outsider.
She curled her lips, pretending not to care on the surface, but her heart couldnāt calm down.
"Since Brother Asher, you donāt want me to get involved, I wonāt bother then, I have no interest in worrying about it!" Irene tossed the prepared menu on the table, pouting and looking unhappy.
He didnāt quite know why he couldnāt control his emotions. Indeed, his temper seemed to be getting worse. Seeing her aggrieved look, Asher softened a bit, thought for a moment, then added.
"If youāre not busy lately, you can help me prepare. Iām just afraid of troubling you."
"Okay! No trouble." Irene eagerly agreed, "Leave it to me."
