Chapter 64 – More Trouble
Mia returns to the villa in the early afternoon and is having afternoon tea with Asher and the two of them in the dining room when Lena barges in aggressively with Grandpa Jun in tow.
“Asher, you actually picked up this woman again, did you get my permission, what the hell are you doing?” Grandpa Jun yelled angrily at Asher as soon as he entered the door.
Asher was reading the newspaper and said without looking up, “Grandpa, I’m an adult now, I know what I’m doing in my own mind, I don’t need to report everything to you, right?”
“You, you …” Seeing Asher didn’t even look at himself, Grandpa Jun’s chest rose and fell violently in anger, “Asher, I think you are more and more not putting grandpa me in your eyes You’ve gotten tougher and tougher, haven’t you? You should know that one word from me right now can make you step down from your position as president!”
“Grandpa, if you’re so confident, why don’t you go and give it a try? However, don’t be sad if you see that the board directors are all biased towards me.” Placing the newspaper on the coffee table, Asher looked at Grandpa Jun with an expressionless face.
“You …” Grandpa Jun coughed violently in anger and grimaced.
Riina complained petulantly, “Asher, look at you, is it worth talking to grandpa like that for an outsider? Grandpa’s health is already bad, so just cut the crap!”
Mia was shocked to see Grandpa Jun arrive, but quickly calmed down and continued to idly drink her own coffee. Hearing Riina’s words, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but lift up a sneer.
“Mia, it’s not all because of you, you actually have the nerve to laugh, how did you promise grandpa in the first place and why are you backtracking now?” The smirk on Mia’s face was caught by Lina, and she accused angrily.
After learning that Mia has been picked up again by Asher at the villa, Lena is shocked and angry and immediately informs Grandpa Jun and adds fuel to the fire, provoking Grandpa Jun to immediately come to the door.
“Miss Ri, if you want to know why I’m back again, I think you should ask Master Jun, he’ll probably give you the answer you want.” Mia idly kicked the ball to Asher, how could she tell Leena when she herself didn’t know why Asher had picked her up?
Hearing Mia’s words, Grandpa Jun was even more furious, “Mia, you …”
“Grandpa Jun, I don’t want to get involved in your Jun family’s conflicts, if you want to find the parties involved, I’m also a victim, somehow I came back, so no comment!” Thinking about what Grandpa Jun did, Mia gradually cold a face, her voice icy cold.
Asher coldly took over, “Grandpa, since when did you even threaten a woman yourself? If word of this gets out, aren’t you afraid of the outside world laughing at you?”
“You… What exactly do you know?” Grandpa Jun immediately changed his face, and the fingers holding the cane were trembling slightly. He knew this grandson’s temper, if he knew what had happened, he would definitely not stop.
Asher hooked his lips in a cold smile and said in a cold voice, “Seeing how agitated you are, then it seems that grandpa has really done something behind my back. If you don’t want me to flip out, you might as well go back, you’re not welcome here!”
“Asshole! What did you say!” The cane struck the ground with hatred, Grandpa Jun was shaking with anger again, “Do you still have me as a grandfather in your eyes?”
“Grandpa, you know what you’ve done, so I don’t need to make it all clear, do I?” Asher lowered his eyes, his voice cold to the point of indifference.
Riina stepped in front of Grandpa Jun with an agitated look on her face, “Asher, Grandpa is all for our own good and that’s why he’s stepping up, why do you have to make Grandpa angry over a woman?”
Asher looked up at Lina suddenly, his ink-black eyes were incomparably cold, “Lina, don’t think that I don’t know what you did? Now that I’m not looking for you, it’s already for grandpa’s sake, don’t be ignorant of what’s right and wrong!”
“Asher, you’ve really wronged me, I’m all for your own good, how can you say that about me?” Riina’s heart shook, still defending herself stiffly.
Asher suddenly grabbed her arm without any mercy and stared coldly into her eyes questioning, “Lena, I already know about your sabotage to abort the baby from this, what else do you have to say? When did you become bold enough to decide such things?”
Mia, who had been sitting idly on the sidelines, jerked her head up to look at Asher with disbelief in her eyes.
He actually knows!
Riina’s face paled and her voice trembled slightly, “Shao, Asher, you, you misunderstood, I, I didn’t do anything, it was, it was …”
Grandpa Jun gestured for Riina to step aside and regained his usual composure, “Asher, well, even if this is Riina’s fault, what are you going to do from now on? I am definitely not going to allow you to marry another woman, so are you going to let this woman just live here without a name?”
Mia’s black and white eyes were locked on Asher as well, even though she’d told herself a thousand times that she didn’t care anymore. But, when she was actually with Asher, she still damn well cared what Asher thought of her and what he had planned for her.
“Grandpa, that’s not your concern, I’m not in a good mood today, so you should go back!” Sinking his face, Asher didn’t want to dwell on Grandpa Jun anymore, “I won’t forgive easily for what happened to Lina!”
“You …” Grandpa Jun grimaced, but knowing that Riina was in the wrong, and that he had a deep knowledge of Asher’s temper, he was surprisingly unsure of what to say.
Riina gave Asher a terrified look, weighed the consequences, and immediately commiserated, “Grandpa, Asher is in a mess compared to his heart right now, so let’s go back and wait for some days. Anyway, I’ve already been acknowledged by the outside world, it’s okay to suffer a bit of aggravation.”
“Ugh, well, you know what you’re doing, I see I’m going to get pissed off at this unintelligent guy sooner or later, let’s go!” Grandpa Jun gave Asher and Mia an indignant look and walked hatefully towards the door.
After the two men left, Mia slowly stood up and walked over to Asher, looking straight at him, “Those things, didn’t you arrange for someone to do them? You even went to the extent of putting me to death in order to abort the child in my belly?”
She’d rather that was the truth of the matter, then she could righteously hate Asher and never see him again for the rest of her life!
“In your mind, that’s the kind of person I am?” Locking deep into the face of the woman before him, Asher’s tone was somewhat helpless. Just how far had he hurt this woman to make her so guarded against him now?
Mia hung her head, hiding the emotion in her eyes, “I don’t know, all I know is that when my baby was aborted, you were still flirting somewhere!”
An inexplicable hatred flooded Mia’s heart at the thought of the tiny life she had just conceived disappearing without a word like that, and she bit her lower lip hard until her mouth tasted fishy sweet.
Asher shuddered and reached out his arms to try and take Mia in his arms, “If I had known … I wouldn’t have done that, don’t you have any faith in me at all?”
“Well, it’s over, so what are you going to do with me now?” Pushing Asher away, Mia looked him straight in the eyes.
I’m sure that even if Asher brings her back to the villa, Grandpa Jun and Riina won’t take it lying down. After all, Riina is the most suitable candidate for the Jun family’s young grandmother, isn’t she?
She’s nothing!
“You are my woman, you can only stay by my side, there is no other choice but to do so.” Reining in Mia’s arms with his large hands, Asher’s tone was domineering and grim.
In the time that Mia had been away from the villa, he had assumed that she would soon be forgotten to the back of his mind, like the countless women he had had before, and that he would soon find a new woman and start his old life over.
However, he found that he couldn’t do it at all, and even, when he was making out with other women, his mind would even bring up Mia’s image. Every time he thought of Mia, he would feel that things between men and women were tasteless.
At one point, he thought something was wrong with him, but just that night when he rescued Mia, he couldn’t help but claim her a few times before he realized how much he missed her.
At least, he couldn’t get away from her body!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
How many times he couldn’t resist going to get Mia back, but he restrained himself, especially when the thought of Mia with Liam Jun drove him crazy with jealousy!
Until, once again, he ran into her on the street! At that moment, Asher lost all sense of reason, obeyed his will and sent her home, and immediately decided to bring her back to the villa!
This time, no matter what happens, no matter what he has to face, he won’t let her slip away from him so easily!
Mia stiffens as he takes her into his arms, no matter what, he just thinks she’s all his, and even if he doesn’t care at all, he won’t let go easily!
This man, he’s so selfish!
“I’m tired, I want to go back and rest.” Gently pushing Asher away, Mia’s voice carried a masked tiredness.
Dealing with such scenes was really tiring, and she just wanted to find a place to stay, even if it was temporary.
“Okay, go back and rest, I have a few things I need to take care of. Don’t think about anything else, I’ll take care of it all.” Looking at the unusually pale Mia, Asher’s tone was surprisingly gentle, “Don’t take today’s incident to heart, I definitely won’t let something like this happen again!”
Mia nodded feebly and walked with heavy feet towards her room, exhausted now. Asher watched her back, one fist clenched tightly.
