Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 897 - 893: Afraid She’ll Do Something Foolish (Part 2)

"Are you still listening to me?" Luke Land saw that there was no response from the other end for a long time, shook the phone in front of himself, and realized the call wasn’t disconnected.

"Keep an eye on her for me, I’ll be there right away."

He stood up, deciding to go to Irene Morton.

Walking out of the study, at the spiral staircase on the third floor, he came face to face with Sophie Smith.

"I’m going to Irene’s place, might not come back tonight."

"Okay." Sophie didn’t ask anything more, just nodded, "Drive safely."

It was quite late, and Sophie could see that Asher Land didn’t seem to be in a good state, so she tentatively suggested, "Do you want me to drive you? You’ve been at work all day and working late in the study, you must be tired. Not that I want to oversee you and Irene, I just..."

"Sophie, don’t say anymore." Asher Land interrupted her, "I know you’re concerned about me. Don’t worry, I’m fine."

He gently ruffled her smooth hair and smiled faintly, "Alright, I’m off. If nothing unexpected happens with Irene, I might come back tonight. After all, without you by my side, I might have trouble sleeping."

He said half-jokingly.

"Alright, I actually hope you can come back."

"Okay." He gently kissed her forehead, then strode into the living room, picked up his car keys, and headed out.

...

From afar, Asher Land saw someone coming out to greet him.

"Thank goodness you’re here." Luke Land looked as if he had met his savior, "That girl Irene is now throwing fits like crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. I really can’t handle her."

There was no emotion visible on Asher Land’s face. He walked steadily towards the hall, glanced around, not seeing her anywhere.

"She’s upstairs..." Luke Land, like a lackey, walked ahead of him, leading him upstairs.

The door was ajar, and Asher Land stood in the doorway, seeing Irene lying on the bed, her head buried in the soft blanket, her shoulders trembling violently. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She looked helpless, like a child.

To be honest, Asher’s heart ached a little.

Even though he did not accept her feelings, it didn’t mean he could ignore them.

Luke Land wisely stood outside, not following Asher into the room.

Hearing footsteps, Irene grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it back.

"Get out! Leave me alone!" Her voice was hoarse and shrill.

Asher Land bent down, picked up the pillow from the ground, and slowly lifted his gaze to look at the woman on the bed...

For a long time, he didn’t say anything.

Irene, seemingly not hearing any departing footsteps, suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

"I said,..." She turned around, ready to curse out loud, but when she saw the person in front of her, every rude word got stuck in her throat.

"Brother Asher, why are you here?" She still had tear stains on her face, but her lips curved into a broad smile. Excitedly, she got off the bed, walked up to him, and reached out, wrapping her arms around his waist.

She buried her head in his chest, and the faint sound of sobbing reached his ears again.

This time, unlike before, he didn’t ruthlessly push her away.

"I really thought you were that heartless, not answering my calls and wouldn’t come back here..."
