"Brother Asher, today... let’s not talk about this, okay?" Irene Morton wasn’t sure if she was avoiding it, but she knew that when Asher Land made up his mind to do sothing, nothing could stop him.
Just like now, he said, "Irene, let’s not be entangled anymore, alright?"
So, his next move should be to throw her far away, out of his sight.
She was really scared.
"If not today, then when?" He curled his lips into a cruel smile. When he beca heartless, it truly sparked a tinge of fear.
"I’ll move out tomorrow."
Move out?
Sever all ties completely?
Ha, he can’t wait, can he? Sophie Smith must have whispered sothing in his ear, hasn’t she? In these few years, he had been quite tolerant of her, but now? He couldn’t even bear to look at her one more ti.
"Brother Asher, I won’t let you do this!" Irene was sowhat stubborn, "We’ve lived together for four years, haven’t we? Why suddenly move out?"
"Don’t you know that we’ve been forced to live together for these four years?" His tone remained indifferent.
"Asher Land!" Irene didn’t know if she had gone mad, but in a mont of impulse, she raised her hand and slapped his cold, rciless face hard.
A crisp sound.
"Miss Morton!" Robert Williams, standing behind Asher Land, was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.
"Get away!" Irene’s eyes were red, desperately pushing Robert away from in front of her.
Asher Land stood behind Robert, cold and indifferent. He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth with his thumb, then raised his head, looking at the hysterical Irene.
"Robert, step aside." Asher Land spoke coldly, and upon hearing the command, Robert could only retreat silently to one side.
"I won’t let you move out! I won’t!" Irene’s tears fell like raindrops, her small hands randomly pounding on his chest.
"Haven’t you caused enough trouble?" With one hand, he easily restrained her erratic movents.
"If you think slapping can vent your anger, I won’t hold it against you. But Irene, just what is it about that makes you beco like this?"
Obsessive, crazy.
What’s so good?
Irene closed her eyes, shaking her head helplessly.
Everything is good, except that he doesn’t love her.
Yet, she loves with a heart-wrenching pain.
Once in love, she could never learn to let go for a lifeti.
...
When Colton Morton saw Asher Land and Irene in the lounge, he only needed to glance at them to sense sothing was off with their emotions.
"Irene, Asher," Colton Morton spoke, and only then did Irene and Asher Land raise their heads.
"Dad..." When Irene spoke, her voice was tinged with the hoarseness and exhaustion of soone who had been crying.
"Oh, my precious daughter, what’s wrong this ti?" Seeing Irene’s aggrieved and pitiful look, Colton couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. From a young age, Irene had been treated like a treasure, cherished and loved. He couldn’t bear to see her suffer any grievance, but...
Colton glanced at the silent, composed man standing to the side, his hand unconsciously clenching into a fist.
He knew, of course, just how much tornt and grievance his daughter had suffered by this man’s side...
