Hand in hand with Asher, we left and got into the car. Once inside, he asked me to explain.
Counting the raw gems that had fallen into his palm, I didn't look up as I smirked.
"I was just making it up. Elias clearly wasn't in his right mind, and I was afraid he might do something stupid, so I went along with what he was saying."
"I'm not interested in him, don't worry."
Giving me a reproachful look, he placed his large hand on my waist.
Asher put the items in his hand into his bag and leaned close to whisper in my ear.
"Vesper, I want a child too."
"Our child."
...
I didn't expect that after we left that day, Elias's wedding would become a trending topic.
He publicly laid hands on Athena, and Athena, no pushover herself, immediately scratched his face.
The bride and groom ended up in a brawl, turning the wedding venue into a laughingstock for everyone present.
The video was uploaded online, and more than Elias's career, it was this wedding that made him infamous.
