Chapter 1111: Chapter 1107: As Long As You Don’t Sleep with Her
"No?" Sophie asked, taking a few steps back to keep some distance from him.
"Asher Land, can I say no?"
"I’m your man; you have the right to tell me not to do it."
"But, have you considered Irene’s feelings?" Sophie shook her head. "She’s become like this now. Can you still bear to refuse her?"
Ha, he knew she was this type of person. Her inherent kindness, her innocence, seemed never to be erased, no matter how much time passed.
She feared others’ pain, so she would rather endure the pain herself.
"But Sophie, have you considered my feelings?" His voice was filled with helplessness. "I’m not a commodity you can rent, you know?"
Sophie froze, seemingly shaken by his words just now.
She really didn’t know what to do.
"I’m sorry, Asher Land, I..." She admitted she hadn’t thought it through. Many times, she overlooked the feelings of those closest to her.
Seeing her dilemma, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He pulled her onto the bed, letting her rest her head on his arm.
"Sophie, I need you to be honest with me now, tell me your true thoughts, no need for any pretenses, okay?"
For example, if she said, "Asher, I just want to selfishly have you to myself. I don’t want you to agree to Irene," he was willing to listen.
Sophie thought for a long time before she spoke softly.
"Want to hear the truth?"
"Of course."
"The truth is, if I lend my man to another woman, it bothers me a lot. I’ve never wanted to share a man with others, even if it’s just for three days." She spoke earnestly, and he listened just as earnestly.
"But, Asher Land, even though I don’t want to, I still want you to agree to Irene’s request. It’s not that I’m conflicted or asking for trouble, I just sympathize with Irene, but I can’t take any actual actions to show sympathy other than to ’lend’ you to her."
She used the word ’lend,’ because in her heart, Asher Land truly belonged to her, that he was definitively hers. If she’s being selfish, she had ’ownership’ of him, and even... the right to use him.
Asher Land’s fingers tangled in her hair, playing with it in his hand, not rushing to express any opinions about her statement.
"Asher Land, please agree to Irene. If possible, I hope you can help guide her to become better. If she continues like this, she might end up with autism, depression. I... can’t imagine what she’ll become."
"You won’t be angry?" He bent down and gently asked the woman in his arms.
"No..."
"But you’re bothered, aren’t you? If you’re bothered, then how can you not be angry?" He pressed her further.
"It’s two different things, okay? Let me process my own choice slowly. Isn’t it just three days? As long... as long..." She hesitated for a long time, ultimately unable to finish her sentence.
"As long as what?" He could see that her emotions were a bit unusual.
"As long as... you don’t have a relationship with Irene again."
"Sophie!" Upon hearing her words, Asher Land’s anger flared up instantly. "What do you take me for?"
Sophie seemed to realize her concern was somewhat unnecessary, as if it was a sign of distrust towards him, no wonder he was angry.
