Chapter 1121: Chapter 1117: Showing the Utmost Patience to Act Alongside Her
He suddenly curled his lips into a slight smile and reached out to pinch Alexander’s cheek.
"Sneak a kiss from me? Hmm?"
Alexander blushed a little, keeping his head down, and said nothing.
"Your mommy often steals kisses from me too, in this way, you two are quite alike." Asher Land turned his gaze to Sophie Smith, examining her with meaning.
"Asher Land, stop being so narcissistic, I- I never sneaked a kiss from you!"
"Did you not?" With just a rhetorical question, Sophie knew she was guilty.
She had been spoiled by him. Every day, whether in the morning or before bed, he had a habit of kissing her, and gradually, she got used to it too. Sometimes, when he hadn’t woken up in the morning, she would instinctively kiss him...
Sophie’s face flushed red, and beside her, Alexander giggled happily.
"Looks like Daddy is right, Mommy, you do love to steal kisses from Daddy."
Not only Alexander, but Nanny Garcia, and all the servants in the room couldn’t help but smile. They all thought, Miss Smith usually seemed like such a reserved person, who would’ve thought she could be so proactive in private.
Irene Morton stood a few steps away from the family of three, watching their happy scene, feeling a bit sour in her heart. She remained silent and went upstairs when no one noticed her.
She locked herself in her room, recalling every moment she spent with Asher Land today.
He bought her clothes, at her insistence, they had a candlelit dinner, and they even walked hand in hand like a normal couple along quite a long path.
But these seemingly sweet moments for her might have been just an act in his eyes; he showed his utmost patience, participating in the play with her.
However, towards Sophie, every one of his actions revealed his true feelings.
He would anxiously wait for her when she hadn’t returned home; her every nonchalant act could tug at his emotions.
Irene curled up on the bed, hugging her knees, burying her head in her arms, closing her eyes, trying to think less, as each thought brought more heartache.
She clenched her fists tightly, using all her strength.
She suddenly felt a bit parched; what to do? She seemed to crave that thing again.
No, she must control it, she had to quit, she couldn’t lower her head in front of Asher Land.
...
Upstairs it was lonely and cold, downstairs was bustling and lively.
Alexander happily sat on Asher Land’s lap, passionately narrating what he had observed during his time with Luke Land and Eva Miller.
"Uncle Luke is really pitiful, Aunt Eva loves to lose her temper, and every day she loses her temper at least three times on Uncle Luke..." Alexander’s eyes were filled with sympathy as he recalled how Eva Miller lost her temper at Luke Land.
"And also, Aunt Eva doesn’t allow Uncle Luke to sleep in bed, so Uncle Luke always sleeps on the sofa. Once, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I told Uncle Luke to sleep in my room with me..."
"..."
Sophie and Luke exchanged a glance, oh dear, what a hellish life Luke was living!
They didn’t expect that Luke and Eva Miller were in such a state.
"Sophie." Asher called out her name in a low voice, "Next time you should talk to Eva Miller; she shouldn’t treat my brother this way. She should lose her temper less."
