CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 312: THE SECOND CHILD (PART 4)

At that time, in order to make Asher Land annoyed with her, she repeatedly mentioned other women in front of him. While filming "City of Desire," she even tried to recommend Jessica Wood to him, but he seemed to lose his temper with her.

So, regarding Oliver Johnson, she decided to just let things take their course. Eva is so kind and so cute; one day, he would realize her worth.

...

Sophie Smith had been waiting for a long time and finally, the day arrived for Asher Land to return to Eastern City. She didn’t know why, but she felt that the past two weeks had been incredibly long.

Her father’s illness and the child in her womb hadn’t allowed her to have a peaceful night’s sleep.

During the day, she was at the hospital caring for Christopher Smith, and only at night could she return home. She instructed the two caregivers for a while before leaving at ease.

During the time Asher Land was away, she hadn’t returned to the Land Family villa either. The villa seemed much quieter due to their absence; the servants almost lifted their heads every day, hoping for their quick return.

Nanny Garcia saw Sophie Smith driving in, and hurried out to greet her.

"Miss Smith, you’re finally back." Nanny Garcia took the things from her hands, looking every bit like she was welcoming the lady of the house back.

Sophie Smith glanced past Nanny Garcia, looking for the man, but he was nowhere in sight.

"Where is he? Is he not back yet?"

Nanny Garcia was momentarily taken aback, then snapped back to reality.

"The young master didn’t mention he’d be returning today."

"Wasn’t it supposed to be half a month?"

"If the young master has something to attend to, a delay of a day or two is normal."

Sophie felt a bit disappointed, indeed, she was too impatient.

She returned to her room, took out her phone, hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to call him.

The phone rang only once before it was connected, but she, who had called, wasn’t mentally prepared.

"You, didn’t you say you’d be back after half a month? Why aren’t you home yet?" she stammered.

"Did you miss me?" His voice sounded a bit tired.

She remained silent, not answering.

"I just left the airport; I estimate it will take another hour to get home."

"Really?" Her voice was obviously much more excited.

"Yes."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

She hung up the phone and excitedly ran downstairs.

"Nanny Garcia, he’s coming back today. He just left the airport, it should take about an hour for him to get home!"

"Is that so? Then I’ll quickly instruct the chef to prepare the meal."

"Great, move quickly." After saying that, she ran back upstairs.

She carefully selected from the wardrobe, her complexion had indeed worsened lately. She didn’t want him to see her looking so haggard.

She chose a fresh and playful beige dress as a base, and a simple pink wool coat, which made her look much more lively.

She also applied a light makeup, and once done, she went downstairs to supervise the kitchen.

"Don’t add curry powder, he doesn’t like it."

"Less chili."

"..."

Actually, the chefs had been at the Land Family for a long time, so they naturally knew Asher Land’s tastes. With Sophie Smith saying this, it made them feel that Miss Smith really understood their young master.

"Oh, right, Nanny Garcia, go to the wine cellar and get a bottle of wine. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he drinks just a little."

"Alright, I’ll get it right away."

...

Asher Land was quite punctual. About an hour later, a beam of car lights shone in from outside the villa. Sophie Smith heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening; she knew he was back.
