CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212 I’M THE ONE WHO TRIED HARD (PART 1)

Sophie Smith blushed, her cheeks reddening.

"Nanny Garcia!" she lowered her voice, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"Nanny Garcia, you really don’t need to worry about her stamina. Usually, I’m the one working hard at night." Asher Land, a few meters away, actually overheard their conversation and even made such shameless comments. Sophie was mortified to death.

The maids all lowered their heads, struggling to hold back their smiles.

"Yes, young master." Nanny Garcia retreated awkwardly, while Sophie stood there, both embarrassed and angry.

Asher Land walked over to the dining table, gazing at the spread of dishes, seemingly having a decent appetite.

"Come over," he said to Sophie.

"I’m not eating." She turned to head upstairs, running into Irene Morton, who was just about to come down.

"Sister Sophie, just got back now?"

"Yeah."

"What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Irene asked suspiciously.

"It’s nothing." She skirted around Irene, hurrying towards her room upstairs, the only thing left was the sound of a door closing.

"Brother Asher, what’s wrong with Sister Sophie? What did you do to her again?" Irene asked as she sat by the dining table, glancing at Asher Land.

"I didn’t do anything."

He wasn’t lying. He just made a joke, but how was he to know his woman was so thin-skinned?

Irene had come down specifically to have dinner with Asher Land. He came back exceptionally late today. Even though Nanny Garcia had called her to eat multiple times during dinner, she refused, wanting to wait for him first.

The two chatted about some topics, and the meal lasted about an hour.

Asher Land stood up and headed upstairs.

"Brother Asher, are you in such a hurry to see Sister Sophie?" Irene’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

"I’m not going to see her; I’m just going back to my room."

Excuses!

Isn’t Sister Sophie in his room?

He opened the door and found Sophie was already in bed after a shower, engrossed in reading a magazine, not even noticing his entrance.

He stretched out his long arm and grabbed the magazine from her hand.

"What are you doing?" Sophie frowned unhappily.

"You’re really not going to eat anything? Tonight, I thought about it, maybe you should be the one working hard?" he said with all seriousness.

"What nonsense!" Sophie glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "I don’t want to do it tonight."

She lay down, wrapping the quilt tightly around her body.

He didn’t care, purposely pulling the quilt off her. Just a glance at her, and he felt a burning desire.

"You’re dressed so sensually, if we don’t do it, I would actually feel like I’m letting you down."

She didn’t want to dress so sensually either, but all the clothes in the wardrobe were selected by him. Sometimes she intentionally bought a few conservative pajamas, but he ordered the maids to remove them all.

"Asher Land, exercising vigorously is not advisable after meals!" she said sternly.

"Have you never heard the saying, ’a full stomach and desires quickly follow’?"

"You..."

"What about me?"

"You’re shameless!"

Their bedroom door wasn’t fully closed, and because their voices were quite loud, almost all of their conversation was overheard by the passing servants. Everyone understood, merely exchanging knowing smiles, it seemed their young master was about to coerce Miss Smith again.

"Miss Irene, why are you standing here? It’s so late, aren’t you going to rest?" Nanny Garcia spotted Irene not far from the main bedroom door.

Nanny Garcia knew Irene had waited for their young master all night, just wanting to have a meal with him. Having finished dinner, why wasn’t she going to rest now?

"Alright, I’m going now."

She felt very defeated. No matter how hard she tried, how much she conformed, her Brother Asher would always consider her just a sister, but that’s not the role she wanted!

Absolutely not!
