Twenty years ago, I unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter for Asher.
Asher's first love left the country in anger because of this.
For five years, Asher tormented me repeatedly for his first love, blaming me for ruining his relationship with her.
So I took the initiative to leave, but he asked me, "You don't want me and the child anymore?"
I coldly replied, "I'm taking the child with me."
Asher, with reddened eyes, asked, "What about me?"
"I don't want you anymore."

After A One-Night Stand, He Went Crazy

I lowered my head, took a deep breath, and asked him directly.


"Mr. Stratton, what a coincidence. Are you here on business too?"

Asher was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "Come home with me."


"Home?" I laughed coldly, "What home? What kind of relationship do we have? Why should I go home with you?Though I hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, I was already feeling quite tipsy.


Brent, thinking I'd run into some trouble, stepped right in front of me, trying to shield me from Asher's pestering.


But this was Asher we're talking about. He wouldn't give a damn about anyone.


He just swept his contemptuous gaze over both of us.


The commotion here had drawn quite a few stares. Even Miss Belmont, who'd been cutting loose on the dance floor moments ago, came over to see what was up. When she realized it was Asher, she got a bit flustered too.
