Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lysandra didn't back away and right away replied with a smug face, "Humph... What is there to hide? I just became Little Ash's woman and slept with him last night. Nothing's weird about that."
"Hoh?" Aria smirked as she raised an eyebrow at her. "Fufu~ So that explains it."
"Eh? H-how...did you...?" Olivia couldn't believe what she just heard.
Meanwhile, Mia, Nadia, Eleanor, and Maria looked dumbfounded at Lysandra's bold and shameless statement. It took them some time to register everything in their heads before speaking out loud.
"W-wait. Hold up. Did I just hear correctly? You and Asher, you two...slept together?" Mia stammered with widened eyes. 'One more competition already?'
Eleanor and Maria exchanged glances with each other while blushing furiously before turning their attention back towards Lysandra and Asher.
Meanwhile, Nadia just simply smiled happily without saying anything at all, as if she had already predicted this outcome for quite some time.
As for Lily, she didn't understand exactly what this meant but knew it was something that involved being close to each other.
"What's wrong with it, dear sister? I am sure you definitely won't mind it, right?" Lysandra looked directly into Aria's eyes and asked.
"Fufu... Why would I mind if my handsome son bagged this fierce, mature woman? Besides, I expected this to happen sooner or later after our recent activities~" Aria winked seductively at Asher.
Asher merely responded with a grin and focused his attention elsewhere to avoid getting embarrassed further by his teasing mother.
"Well, then there is nothing wrong. And Asher, don't try to deny it. It's not like it's your first time to make your aunt your woman." Lysandra giggled and placed her hand on Olivia's shoulder. "Right, my sister Olivia? After all, we are in the same boat now~"
Olivia's face reddened even more after hearing her words. "Oh my god! What are you even saying, Lysandra!?" She hid her face with both hands.
"Ahaha! Olivia, don't try to hide it now." Aria laughed while teasing her sister. "Everyone has their eyes on Asher now, and it's impossible not to get his charm. So why don't you go ahead and reveal what transpired between you two? Hehe."
"NO. Nothing happened between us." Olivia tried to deny it while blushing furiously.
Aria looked at Asher and smiled while gesturing towards Olivia with her eyes.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Asher shook his head with a smile, got up from his seat, and walked up to Olivia, who had her head lowered with many emotions running through her body. She kept her head down, hoping no one would notice how nervous she felt inside right now.
Suddenly, a pair of masculine yet gentle fingers lifted her chin slowly, making her look up towards those familiar cerulean orbs belonging to her beloved nephew.
Once she locked eyes with him, his handsome face leaned forward as he pressed his soft lips against hers in a tender kiss.
At first, she froze in place, unable to process the current situation that occurred, but as soon as her mind registered what happened, she quickly melted into the passionate lip contact.
Both of them shared an intense gaze as he pulled away from her before he spoke, "Now I have claimed you as my woman in front of everybody here, so stop being embarrassed, okay?"
Olivia looked speechlessly at Asher. Although she knew deep down inside that her feelings were reciprocated, hearing those exact words sent an indescribable joy coursing through her veins that caused tears of happiness to fall from the corners of her eyes.
She immediately stood up and embraced him tightly while placing her forehead on his chest. "My dear Asher... Thank you for accepting me, and thank you for loving me... Thank you for everything. I love you so much!"
Asher smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and planted another kiss on the crown of her head. "There's no need for you to thank me for loving someone as beautiful as yourself. If anything, I'm grateful that someone as amazing as you returned my feelings. You're the woman I want to be with, the person I cherish and adore so much, Aunt Olivia; don't forget that."
The two remained locked in each other's embrace for quite some time before he pulled away from her and gently wiped away the remaining tears from her rosy cheeks.
"Olivia, you should do something about that personality of yours. Even if you can be shy and timid when in private, you really shouldn't let other people see that side of you so easily." Lysandra sighed as she comforted her sister.
"I agree with Lyssa here. After all, we both know very well how much you've longed for Asher. Now that your wish has been granted, you shouldn't feel shy about expressing it." Aria agreed with her sister.
Olivia couldn't help but giggle softly at their remarks. "You two really understand me well. Honestly, I always wanted to be with him, but I held myself back because there was still a bit of guilt holding me back because Mia also wanted to be with him." She glanced at Mia. "Though now...after Asher took the initiative and made me his... that feeling seems to have dissipated a bit. Mia, I..."
Mia didn't let her finish her sentence and said, "Mom, it's okay. There's no need for you to feel guilty about it. Like mom said, I always liked and wanted to be with Ash, but I knew that Ash wouldn't accept just one person. Especially when he is always surrounded by multiple gorgeous ladies." She smiled while glancing at her aunts, Nadia, Maria, and Eleanor.
"Mia... thank you." Olivia teared up and thanked Mia for being understanding about this.
Asher kissed Olivia once again, calming her down.
"Then there's no need to worry, Aunt Olivia. Mia accepts us, which means that we should be able to love each other freely without reservation." Asher smiled while caressing Olivia's cheek.
"Yes..." Olivia nodded in agreement. She understood everything clearly at that point. Seeing as how no one objected to Asher's relationship with her, she felt relieved in her heart.
