"Sophie, I’ll go back with you. I don’t want to stay here anymore."
This place has been her heartache, giving her hope, yet also despairing her.
"Are you serious?" Sophie felt naturally happy that Eva was willing to let go. Her willingness to leave ant she had temporarily given up on searching for Oliver.
"Yes." Eva nodded, "Can we leave tomorrow?"
She was as decisive as ever, but now, whatever she said, Sophie would agree to.
"Okay, I’ll tell Asher later that we’ll return to Eastern City tomorrow."
The original plan was to leave after two days, but now she had to get Asher to change the itinerary.
...
Asher didn’t say much, agreed to Sophie’s change of plans, and by around ten in the morning, they boarded a flight back ho.
Once off the plane, Sophie went back to the Land Family villa with Asher, while Luke offered to take Eva ho.
"Do you think, is second brother really planning to pursue Eva?" Sophie tilted her head, watching Asher drive.
"So what if he is?" Although sotis Asher was a bit bad-tempered and sowhat irreverent to his second brother, he naturally still wanted the best for him. Since his brother liked Eva, he would make sure he pursued her.
"Sophie, you’re close with Eva, give my second brother a hand."
So, was Asher... asking her for a favor?
"Asher, your attitude could be a bit better when asking for help."
"..."
Asher glanced at her, "Which eye of yours saw that I was asking for help? This is an order." He maintained his justified and proud deanor.
Sophie chuckled lightly.
"Asher, with that attitude of yours, not only will I not say good things for your second brother in front of Eva, but I’ll also badmouth you. Just imagine, if Eva were to marry Luke and have a brother-in-law like you, it would be dreadful!"
Sophie felt she wasn’t exaggerating one bit. After all, Asher was just so bad-tempered, so domineering, so...
Alright, she didn’t want to say anymore, anyway, this man was full of flaws.
Asher shot Sophie a glance of annoyance; this woman was truly sharp-tongued, insulting without even batting an eye.
"Am I really as bad as you say?"
Asher didn’t quite believe it, but seeing her determined gaze, he couldn’t help but doubt himself a little.
"Of course."
"Then why do you still want to stay with ?" He snorted, "If I weren’t so outstanding, if I didn’t treat you well, would you willingly stay by my side?"
"I’m forced by circumstances." She admitted, though this was a lie, but she didn’t want to budge in front of Asher right now.
"In any case, if you want to help second brother, improve your attitude a bit." Sophie said solemnly.
"Fine, I’ll have a better attitude..." Asher deliberately slowed his tone, "Tonight, when we get back, I’ll make sure you’re comfortable..."
"..."
The car quickly drove into the Land Family villa, with Nanny Garcia and Alexander coming out to welco them.
"Mommy!" Alexander ran straight into Sophie’s arms. It had been a long ti since mother and son had seen each other, and their hearts were filled with joy upon reuniting.
Yet behind them, Big Boss Land...
Did not look very pleased.
