Sophie Smith opened her sleepy eyes to find Asher Land looking at her with a worried expression."Itās so cold, why are you sitting on the ground?"
"Oh, Iām fine." She got up, "Are you hungry? Iāll go downstairs and ask Nanny Garcia to prepare breakfast."
He shook his head.
"Are you feeling unwell? Iāll call Doctor Lewis to come over." Seeing that his complexion was not great, Sophie quickly asked.
He shook his head again.
"Why arenāt you talking?" Sophie wasnāt used to Asher being so quiet like this.
"Iām fine, donāt worry, these dozen lashes are nothing to me."
The reason he remained silent was because her sudden concern for him made him feel unexpectedly favored.
"You donāt hate me that much, right?" There was a hint of expectation in his eyes; he so wanted to hear her say yes.
Sophie lowered her head, thinking for a long time. At this moment, when he was in the most pain, she didnāt want to disappoint him, especially when she couldnāt even figure out her own true feelings.
She nodded.
The moment she looked up, she happened to see the smile on his lips.
A few days later, Asher Landās wounds showed some improvement, and they were gradually healing, which eased Sophieās worries.
She suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Asherās birthday; should she give him a gift?
Hmm, she should, because his family had returned to Europe because of her, leaving him lonely on his birthday, which was quite pitiful. So, buying a gift would serve as an apology.
She went to a boutique. Her hand swept across a row of glass cabinets and finally settled on a deep blue checkered tie.
"Miss, who is the tie for? This tie is the latest CN model, a global limited edition with only three pieces."
"Alright, Iāll take that one." Sophie wasnāt in the mood to care about the limited edition. She handed over the card to the counter clerk, but then she thought that choosing a gift for Asher like this might be too perfunctory, especially using his card?
He had given her plenty of cards before, but she hadnāt used them. The price of that tie was steep, and she couldnāt afford to pay that much.
Sophie bought one of the three ties, not knowing that Asher would later buy and destroy the other twoāthis was Asherās idea of the so-called one-and-only.
Looking at the tie box, Sophie smiled, genuinely curious about Asherās reaction to her giving him a gift.
He should be happy, right?
Sophie shook her head, wondering what was happening to her. Did she care about Asherās feelings?
As Sophie walked out of the boutique, she didnāt notice the figure standing behind her.
Wyatt Sterling watched her from a distance, hands in pockets, as she got into the car and saw it speed away.
There was an indescribable sadness on his face, as if destined, that he could only watch her from afar.
Yet, he was not resigned.
Why could Asher Land be so selfish to possess her? To incarcerate him? She hated Asher Land, didnāt she? Just because of Asherās authoritarianism, she dared not leave him, and he clearly remembered her saying she could never love him in this life.
If thatās the case, he would stop at nothing to take her away from Asher Land.
