Chapter 1084 - 1080: A Man Who Can’t Stand Being Neglected
She had been persistent for so many years, and when she finally decided to let go, the indescribable torment in her heart was like flames bursting forth, growing stronger and threatening to turn her to ashes.Pain could no longer adequately describe her current mood.
She stood on the street, dazed, and hailed a taxi randomly.
At the restaurant, the servers had already brought the dishes one after another.
Asher Land had no intention to start eating, perhaps Irene Morton’s appearance earlier had disturbed his mood.
Sophie Smith just slightly lowered her eyelids, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Luke Land and Eva Miller exchanged glances, and Eva Miller kicked Luke Land’s leg fiercely under the table, finally prompting Luke Land to speak.
"Third brother, Sophie, don’t worry about Irene’s matter. Come, let’s eat first..." Luke Land urged, but neither of them responded to him.
"Asher Land, last time at Z&A Mall, I didn’t give Irene money because..."
"Sophie." Asher Land interrupted her, "Whether you gave her money or not is unimportant to me. I... don’t care about her affairs or have any interest in knowing."
Sophie Smith couldn’t fathom Asher Land’s intention behind his words. Did he really not care at all about Irene?
She had been by his side for so long; sometimes, she could decipher his emotions.
Towards Irene, he feels disheartened; he never expected her to become like this. Sophie wasn’t sure whether he felt a bit guilty or remorseful.
After all, Asher Land had once treated Irene as family, even as a benefactor in his heart.
It was probably five years ago, Sophie still remembered when Irene first came to Eastern City.
Back then, she always had a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, following Asher Land, she would hold his arm, act coquettishly, and fawn over him. At that time, Sophie always envied Irene for one thing, no matter how much she fussed, Asher Land never lost his temper with her.
He regarded her as a sister worthy of cherishing and indulging.
...
Sophie Smith snapped back to reality, naturally making this dinner extremely uncomfortable.
After they finished eating, Luke Land and Eva Miller went for a pregnancy check-up; Sophie initially wanted to go see how Eva was doing, but was stopped by Asher Land.
"Why won’t you let me go with them?" Sophie sat in the car, feeling a bit downcast, still thinking about wanting to accompany Eva, "Asher Land, let’s go to the hospital.".
He simply shrugged helplessly and shook his head, he turned the car around, completely heading in the opposite direction from Eva Miller.
"You!"
"Eva Miller has my second brother with her, so please don’t interfere, okay?" He seemed to be using a tone trying to negotiate with her.
"What do you mean interfere, I’m not causing trouble by accompanying Eva,..." Sophie wanted to say more, but seeing Asher was focused on driving, she swallowed her words.
Seeing her quiet down, Asher curled his lips into a slight smile. Actually, the two brothers had agreed that in the future, they need to watch over these two women more carefully, not letting them cling together all the time, after all, they’re men who cannot stand being neglected.
On the way to the hospital, Eva Miller kept complaining non-stop.
"I just wanted Sophie to accompany me, and you wouldn’t even agree to that, Luke Land, you’re so annoying."
