Chapter 23 – I will never fall in love with you
Standing coldly in the doorway, with suppressed rage in his eyes, was Asher!
Riina immediately got rid of Mia’s confinement and quickly ran towards Asher with an aggravated accusation, “Asher, you’re finally back, she called everyone to the playback room, actually just to see our pictures! Don’t you know, all the servants saw it …”
Mia, however, stood still, her face flushed, biting her lip tightly, stubbornly refusing to turn her head away. The pictures she saw still irritated her deeply.
Riina’s words were barely halfway out of her mouth when she flung herself into Asher’s arms and was immediately pushed away unceremoniously by Asher, slowly walking over to Mia, who had refused to turn her head to face him, her face grim.
“Asher, people are being … pushed to the ground by her,” Lena pouted as she was almost pushed to the ground by Asher, only to be frozen in place by the cold look Asher threw her way, too scared to even breathe.
Turning his head to Mia, his cold eyes fixed on the woman with her head hanging slightly, and his chilling voice slowly rang out, “Where did these pictures come from?”
This woman, does she still have him in her sights or not!
“Don’t you find it funny to ask me that? Or, do you suspect that I stole these photos? Or, are you distressed to see that Miss Lai has been aggrieved?” Slowly raising her head, Mia gathered her true emotions and questioned Asher lightly.
This man, who took sides from the beginning to the end, was just Riina alone. Even if, he understood exactly what was going on, he would just accuse her!
Riina panicked in her heart and immediately said, “Asher, this flash drive was originally in my possession, but it could have been taken away by Miss Luo. She also called all the servants here and made them watch it together, it’s too much …”
Asher’s gaze, coldly swept her, and Leena immediately shut up, never daring to say anything again. Asher twisted his head and looked at Mia coldly, “Since when did my pet actually learn to talk back? Is it that I haven’t removed your sharp claws cleanly?”
“Since Master Jun has already decided that it was my fault, what else is there to say.” Mia raised her eyes and looked fixedly at the grim-faced man in front of her, her heart suddenly rose full of aggression, “Since Miss Lai said that I took it over, then I took it over, there’s nothing to say.”
Riina immediately retorted, “Asher, she’s talking nonsense, I think she’s simply doing it on purpose, not only to take the youtubes away from me, but to make a fool of me in front of so many servants on purpose!”
Riina’s voice, with a very aggravated tone.
“Apologize to her!” Turning back to look at Mia coldly, Asher’s face was expressionless, but the bottom of his eyes were terribly cold.
Mia opened her mouth slightly and looked at Asher incredulously, “Asher, I can’t believe you’re siding with her like that, I …”
“Didn’t you just admit that you took the YouTubes from her hands.” Asher coldly interrupted her, “Lina was raised to be spoiled, your rude behavior must have scared her, so you must apologize to her!”
Lena’s voice immediately turned aggravated and she choked out a sob, “Asher, you don’t even know, she’s really wild and it’s scaring me to death …”
“Well, apologize to her now!” Interrupting Lena coldly, Asher looked coldly and directly at Mia, “See if Lena will forgive you.”
Mia gave Asher a deep look, took another deep breath, lowered her eyes to hide her true emotions, and said lightly, “Okay, I apologize, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have taken Miss Lai’s flash drive, let alone put it out for everyone to watch together in front of so many people.”
Something cut through her heart, like a crack in it, and it hurt so much that her breathing began to become labored.
Her meekness Asher saw all but her heart welled up full of discomfort, Riina however said unrelentingly, “Asher, she is very well behaved in front of you and is a different person in front of me, you must not be fooled by her meekness.”
Hearing Riina’s words, Asher’s eyes turned as cold as ice and snow as he looked at Mia, a cold, furious look rippling through his pupils.
Mia glanced at a gloating Leena, her indifferent eyes looking up at Asher’s cold, unfeeling face, “I have nothing to say.”
Her deep emotions, bland in their carelessness. Since Asher was bent on defending Leena, what else did she have to explain. But what was this pain in the back of her heart that was hard to ignore?
The tall body took a step forward and Mia’s petite frame was instantly surrounded by Asher’s gloomy aura.
He cared, still, about Lena, and the thought of that fact made Mia’s heart throb hard.
The next moment, her whole body was in the air, Asher coldly carried her on his shoulders and walked grimly towards the playback room. Mia reacted, full of aggression suddenly vented out, desperately punched his broad back with her small hands, “Asher, you put me down, put me down… …”
“Asher,” Riina glared reluctantly at the woman being carried on Asher’s shoulders, her white teeth biting her lower lip in indignation.
The indignant gaze cowered momentarily all over when it came in contact with Asher’s icy look, turned and headed out the door. Her heels hit the floor hard with an ear-piercing sound.
Cold eyes glanced over his shoulder at the woman, and Asher stepped onto the second floor with steady steps, his heart vaguely wild and an inexplicable emotion.
It seems, it’s vaguely heartbreaking …
Asher’s body shook slightly and immediately forced himself to push the emotion to the bottom of his heart as he opened the bedroom door and threw the woman over his shoulder onto the large, soft bed.
Mia was dizzy, her heart overflowing with aggression, and she instantly grabbed the pillow beside her and slammed it hard at Asher regardless.
The pillow hit Asher’s face unevenly, and the bottom of his eyes became instantly stormy as he looked up at Mia with a cold, dangerous look in his eyes.
“Damn it, what are you doing!” The icy tone filled with a lurid chill, Asher slowly closed in on Mia on the bed. a pair of dark eyes that didn’t ignore the aggression in her clear eyes.
Mia raised her eyes and looked steadily at Asher, a mist under her clear eyes, “I’m leaving!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Damn it, what did you say?” The bottom of his eyes, which were already filled with a storm, immediately surged with full fury, and Asher had an appalling aura around him that seemed to freeze everything around him, “You can leave if you want, pay for all the breach of contract. Also, I can’t guarantee that the orphanage will not be buried for you!”
For some reason, a flash of panic passes through Asher’s mind when he hears Mia say she’s leaving, going out of her way to threaten her with the orphanage.
“You bastard, Asher, you bastard!” Mia exploded completely, her small hands slamming desperately on Asher’s thick chest, tears abusing across her small face.
Grimacing as she took Mia’s pounding, Asher took a firm grip on her wrist to force her to stop when he saw that she was tired of beating her. Impatient eyes laced with a few hints of anger, he stared hard at the woman in front of him, “Are you mad enough or not!”
“I want to leave, I want to leave, Asher, please let me go, let the orphanage go!” The aggression that had been building up for so long exploded in a flash, and Mia screamed regardless. After crying for a while, Mia collapsed onto the bed, unable to stop the tears pouring out of her small face.
Seeing Mia’s tears, Asher’s heart surprisingly rose with a hint of heartache and pity, his deep eyes looked straight at her, his tone slightly cold, “Tell me, what exactly are you angry about?”
“I …” The words were barely out of her mouth before Mia clenched her lower lip and swallowed the rest of her words back raw.
Damn, how could she tell the man in front of her that her heart was sour when she saw him siding with Leena?
Not ignoring Mia’s evasive look, Asher’s heart suddenly rose with pleasure, but the bottom of his eyes were still full of ice, “You’re not in love with me, are you?”
“Ah!” Mia, whose mind had been peeked at, jerked her head up, her black and white eyes filled with shock and haste, and she shook her head desperately as if that would hide what was going on in her mind.
Mia’s panic all but fell into Asher’s eyes and he was more than sure of himself, his heart’s pleasure made him lift his lips slightly, but the words that came out were cold as ice, “It seems that you forgot who you are!”
Mia’s little face, instantly pale to the point of not having a trace of blood, trembled slightly. Yeah, she was just his pet, how could she fall in love with him!
Asher looked at the pale little face, a trace of pity crossed the bottom of his eyes, but desperately made himself ignore this strange emotion. Reaching out his long fingers, he gently caressed Mia’s snow-white face, and his seductive magnetic voice slowly rang out, “My pet, is not qualified to love me!”
Mia shuddered and looked up incredulously at the man with a cold smile in front of her, clenching her lower lip, “Asher, if you’re so afraid of being in love with me, why don’t you let me go? You wouldn’t have to worry so much if you let me go.”
The bottom of her eyes, which originally had a hint of pleasure, was suddenly tinted with a full gloom, and the fingers stroking Mia’s face suddenly tightened, and her cold black eyes stared into hers, saying word by word, “That’s because, I’m not tired of playing with you yet. When I’m tired of playing with you, I’ll naturally throw you away, just like throwing away garbage.”
Mia’s little face, pale as if it were a sheet of white paper, and her body shaking as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
“Asher, I swear, I will never fall in love with you!” After a long time, the cool voice slowly rang out, and Mia used almost all of her strength.
