In the blink of an eye, it was Irene Mortonās birthday party. During these days, Asher Land nudged her indirectly, or sometimes directly spoke up, yet Irene never revealed the conversation she overheard between Nathan Land and Sophie Smith outside the study that day.This only deepened the uncertainty in his heart.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window as Sophie entered, bringing a suit.
"Hurry up and change, Ireneās birthday party is about to start."
For some reason, Ireneās twenty-first birthday party was held at the Land Familyās old mansion. Shouldnāt it take place at the Morton Familyās home?
This birthday party was quite grand. Both Nathan Land and Colton Morton held some status in Europeās high society. Over a hundred noteworthy individuals, spanning both business and politics, attended Ireneās birthday party.
"You should change into a gown too and attend with me." Asher said to her.
"Didnāt we agree that I wouldnāt go?" Sophie hung the suit on the rack and then reached out to untie his yet-to-be-changed robe.
"Not going would mean not giving your man any face. Luke Land has already found some woman from nowhere to accompany him. Itād be so boring if I were left alone."
However, if he knew that at the birthday party, Nathan Land and Colton Morton would jointly announce his engagement to Irene, he probably wouldnāt have called her to go. Otherwise, standing by his side would only pain her.
"Go change, whether you like it or not, youāre going today." Asher didnāt allow her to resist and directly pushed her into the adjacent dressing room.
Feeling stifled and helpless, theyād reached this point, and some things cannot be avoided just because you want to. This was something she would have to face sooner or later, wasnāt it?
Her slender fingers lightly brushed through row upon row of high-end custom gowns before she finally picked one to wear.
Having changed, when she returned to the master bedroom, Asher was buttoning his shirt with one hand.
Seeing Sophie enter, his gaze traveled in her direction.
Although he was already well-acquainted with this woman, seeing her again took his breath away once more.
She wore a pink strapless knee-length gown, luxurious and elegant. Its draping fabric accentuated her perfect figure, with her exquisite collarbones fully revealed. Her soft black curls cascaded over her shoulders. In front of him stood a woman who was at once noble and alluring, seductive.
Sophie stepped forward, reaching out to help him button his shirt.
Asherās Adamās apple bobbed slightly as he grabbed her small hand.
"Whatās wrong?" She frowned.
"Clothes can wait a while to be worn." His voice carried a hint of hoarseness.
"Hm?"
Before she could react, his thin lips pressed down on hers.
Now Sophie understood what he meant by āclothes can waitā. It seemed even if she wore them, he would still take them off.
"Asher Land, stop fooling around, weāre running out of time." Sophie wanted to push him away. After all, she was wearing a strapless gown today. If he left marks on her neck or chest, how could she face anyone?
"Iāll be quick." He chuckled softly, lifting the hem of her skirt with his large hand. He sat on the leather chair, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her onto his lap.
"No, Asher Land." She pushed against his chest, resisting his next move.
