Chapter 518 of "Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement" opens revealing intense scenes: "What did you go to see the old man for today?" Asher Land leaned half... Keep reading!
"What did you go to see the old man for today?" Asher Land leaned half against the headboard, asking her as she came out of the shower.Sophie Smithās hand paused noticeably in its motion to dry her hair upon hearing his question.
"How do, how do you know?"
"Irene told me. If you donāt want me to have a sleepless night, youād better tell me the truth." Asher said in a deep voice.
Irene?
How did she know?
No wonder she got back to the East Garden just a few steps behind her. She must have seen her when she went to the study to find Nathan Land.
Sophie knew that a few simple words would definitely not fool his eyes.
"Wait a minute, Iāll tell you after I finish drying my hair."
She quickly ran back to the bathroom, trying to come up with a reason while drying her hair. She definitely couldnāt let Asher Land know the truth. If he found out, he would go to Nathan Land, and it would surely be troublesome.
Just as Sophie was about to close the bathroom door, Asher pressed his foot against it, crossing his arms and looking down at her.
"I want to hear it now." His tone was an undeniable command.
Sophie knew that when this man got serious, she couldnāt win against him.
No choice, she had to speak with some hesitation.
"Itās not that I went to find your father, itās that your father came to find me."
"What? What did he want with you?" He became even more perplexed.
"Isnāt it Ireneās birthday party in five days? Your father just warned me not to attend, thatās all. Itās no big deal. My current status doesnāt really suit attending any events with you anyway."
She didnāt expect to be so adept at lying.
"Is that all?" His eyes practically screamed āI donāt believe you.ā
"Thatās it. What else could it be? You should go rest; you have to get up early for work tomorrow. Iāll finish drying my hair." She pushed him out of the bathroom and turned to close the door.
Unexpectedly, her eyes started to slowly redden.
She really didnāt know why she was being so sentimental.
When Sophie came out of the bathroom, Asher was sitting on the bed, still not asleep.
"Why arenāt you asleep yet?" She curled up her lips and climbed onto the bed, resting her head on his chest.
He didnāt know why, but he just felt uncomfortable inside. He had a vague feeling that she wasnāt telling the truth.
He looked down at the lovely girl in his arms, lifting his left hand, which had lost its feeling, to caress her delicate little face.
He knew her skin was smooth and tender, but now this hand of his could no longer feel it.
"Sophie, I really donāt want you to lie to me anymore, do you know?"
It seemed like he was talking to her, but also like he was talking to himself.
But Asher, do you know thereās such a thing as a white lie? Sophie thought to herself.
Sophie didnāt respond to him again, lying peacefully in his arms with her eyes closed.
She wasnāt asleep, just avoiding his questions.
No, whatever it takes, he has to find Irene tomorrow to get to the bottom of this. He canāt allow her to hide things from him.
He knew her temperament too. If she didnāt want to talk, no one could force her. Before going upstairs, didnāt Irene remind him?
He didnāt understand what Irene supposedly knew that was so secret, even saying it was related to Sophieās life?
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep the whole night.
