CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 478: JUST BORROWED YOUR BELLY TO HAVE A SON (PART 2)

In her heart, Asher Land has always been invincible.

Whatever he wants, he will undoubtedly go to any lengths to obtain.

Perhaps, before he met her, no one could ever make him do anything he didn’t want to do. But ever since he has been with her, because of her, the pain he’s endured is unprecedented.

"Irene..."

"Don’t call me that," Irene Morton interrupts Sophie Smith, who was about to speak. "That name is only for those close to me—my parents or Brother Asher. But never you."

Sophie Smith abandoned the last impulse to speak with Irene, shaking her head indifferently.

"Miss Morton, I understand everything you want to say to me. If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

"Are you asking me to leave?" Irene snorts coldly. "What’s your authority?"

Sophie Smith remains silent for a moment, about to say something when the door is knocked.

"Sophie, open the door. Why did you lock it?"

Outside, it’s Asher Land’s anxious voice.

Sophie Smith looks up at Irene, the arrogance in her eyes completely subdued, replaced by a pure and charming demeanor.

She wants to open the door, but Irene steps ahead of her.

"Brother Asher."

Seeing it’s Irene, Asher Land’s eyes are slightly surprised, his gaze falling on Sophie Smith behind Irene. Sophie just pretends nothing happened and smiles faintly at him.

Only then does his expression relax a bit.

"Brother Asher, Uncle Land said that I can stay here for a while. You won’t mind, will you?"

"Do as you please," Asher Land replies indifferently.

Irene feels his coldness. She already sensed it back in Eastern City, but now the feeling is growing stronger.

"Alright, I’ll go back to my room to pack my things and won’t disturb you and Sister Sophie."

After speaking, Irene bypasses Asher Land and heads out.

"Irene didn’t say anything too harsh, did she?" He walks to her side, a bit worried asking.

"No."

In fact, he knows that even if she did, Sophie wouldn’t reveal those words in front of him.

"I’m sorry for putting you through this. Believe me, I’ll resolve this quickly and then take you and Alexander back to Eastern City."

"Okay." She knows there’s nothing she can do now. All she can do is trust him.

While Asher Land is showering in the bathroom, Sophie Smith goes downstairs to get some fruit.

Today, she skipped dinner. She dared not eat at the table with that family again.

Downstairs, some servants are busy cleaning, not even glancing up as she descends. Sophie doesn’t mind, picks up a few fruits from the coffee table in the hall, and is about to go upstairs when a warm voice stops her.

"Miss Smith."

Turning around, it’s Oscar Land.

"Oscar, Young Master Land..."

"Don’t be so formal, just call me Big Brother like Asher does."

Oscar Land seems like an easygoing person. Sophie smiles slightly and calls him ’Big Brother.’

Seeing the fruit in her hand and recalling her absence at the dinner table, Oscar Land asks...

"Did you skip dinner? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare something and have it sent to you."
