Asher Land didn’t care about the gazes of others, took Sophie Smith’s hand, and just left the restaurant.
"Big brother, you saw that too. What kind of attitude is that?" Enzo Land spoke up dissatisfiedly.
Nathan Land naturally knew Asher Land’s temperant, but to him, no one could resist him forever, and he certainly had a way to make him yield.
...
"Asher Land, let go, you’re hurting ." It wasn’t until Sophie voiced out that he realized just how strong his grip was, and he quickly released her.
"I’m sorry." He rubbed her reddened wrist, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"What you did just now, wasn’t it a bit inappropriate?" she tentatively asked.
For so reason, this family gave her the feeling of constant confrontation, and Asher Land seed completely out of place with this family.
Asher Land didn’t answer her. Sotis, certain things were completely out of one’s control.
Sophie followed him to his residence in the East Garden, and as soon as they entered the room, his body collapsed onto the bed in a spread-eagle position.
She knew he must be exhausted.
Yesterday he was still in the United States doing business, and because of her situation, he rushed back to the European Headquarters. By now, he probably hadn’t had a wink of sleep.
Maybe, she really shouldn’t have insisted on having this child back then; it wouldn’t have caused so many troubleso things now.
"I’m sorry for making you worry."
She walked to the bedside and spoke softly.
Asher Land remained silent, pulling her to lie down beside him.
Sophie lay quietly in his arms, but suddenly rembered what Nathan Land had said.
Go back to headquarters and marry Irene Morton.
That was the compromise Nathan Land wanted Asher Land to make.
In this place, in this family, she was so small and powerless.
"Asher Land, is it true that only if you marry Irene will your father let Alexander go..."
Hearing her ask this, Asher Land’s body tensed inexplicably.
"Sophie, don’t tell you want to marry another woman."
"But...," she paused uneasily, "but what if that’s the only way for your father to let Alexander go?"
"Ha, you’re really great." He sneered, pushing her away from his embrace, "For our son, you’re willing to make pay any price, right? Let Alexander go, but who will let go?"
"I..."
"Don’t say it. I’ll figure out sothing about Alexander. That old man wouldn’t dare harm a little kid for now." He spoke impatiently, cutting her off.
Sophie realized that her question just now was rather foolish; she shouldn’t have asked Asher Land that.
"Asher Land, I know you’ll find a way." She moved closer to him, hugged his waist softly, spoke gently, "We will definitely go back to how things were, right?"
He had promised to hold their wedding in Bali Island, so how could he marry another woman?
"Yes." He answered her earnestly.
Over these many years, he had never been as happy as after being with her. Going back to the Land Family was a wrong decision he made over a decade ago.
No matter what, even if it ans being unscrupulous, he must break free from the Land Family’s control over him,
He had waited too long for this day, and perhaps now was the best chance. For this woman, he would pay any price.
