"I still don’t think I should go, I..."
Sophie Smith wanted to say more, but was cut off by a look from Asher Land.
"So you won’t want a man once you have a child, is that it?" He smirked, casting a sidelong glance at her.
"Why are you getting jealous of the baby again?" Sophie pouted angrily. She felt like she had two children now, having to coax the little one and the big one too.
"Just accompany for a week." His tone left no room for negotiation, as if he was rely informing her of the outco.
After saying that, he took out his phone and called his secretary.
"Book two tickets to Bali Island, for tonight," he instructed his secretary swiftly and succinctly, then hung up the call.
Sophie’s expression was filled with frustration.
"Asher Land, could you please respect other people’s opinions..."
"I asked you already."
"But I said I wouldn’t go."
"I want to go."
"So?"
"Your opinion is noted."
"..."
Overbearing man!
Sophie was practically dragged to the airport by Asher Land in the evening, then hauled onto the plane.
Fine, since things had reached this point, she had no choice but to peacefully accompany him for a week.
She sat in her seat, idly flipping through a magazine.
"What a coincidence." She suddenly spoke.
"What’s such a coincidence?" He looked at her with a puzzled expression, noticing she was fixated on the magazine, his gaze shifted to the magazine in her hands.
"Evelyn Moore’s wedding is also being held in Bali Island, look, these are pictures of their wedding."
She showed him the magazine to share.
Evelyn Moore was a hot sensation in the entertainnt industry, a triple threat in acting, singing, and variety. Two days ago, she married her boyfriend of ten years in Bali Island, causing quite a stir in the entertainnt world.
"Actually, a lot of female celebrities like to get married in Bali Island, it’s really romantic there."
There was a hint of longing on her face, one that she herself hadn’t realized, but Asher noticed.
His gaze suddenly dimd.
She used to be such a resolute woman, but now she stayed by his side without a title, and even bore him a child. But himself? He couldn’t even give her a wedding.
"Sophie, in the future, can we have our wedding here too?"
Sophie’s eyes froze, and the magazine in her hands almost fell.
He said, Sophie, in the future can we have our wedding here too?
Wedding...
"Whatever." She took a deep breath from within, feigning a relaxed expression. If she showed herself too nervous or too excited about this, he might think she cared too much about that title.
She didn’t want him to think that way.
Right now, she only had him and the baby. Even if there was no title, she’d be willing to stay by his side for a lifeti.
"Sophie, I’m serious, let’s set our future wedding to be here."
His gaze was firm, he held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
She said no more, just slightly raised her head and gave him a faint smile.
"Alright, I’ll be waiting for this wedding, you better not delay it too long."
"Yeah."
The two exchanged a smile, as if the beautiful future was waving to them just nearby.
She quietly leaned on his shoulder, but suddenly felt a bit scared. She really couldn’t leave him, but if soday she would have to be forced to leave, what would she do?
