For a long time, Robert Williams didn’t give her a response, and Sophie Smith gave up, leaning against the seat, feeling a bit weary.
"President Land has been reading a pregnancy guide recently." Suddenly, Robert Williams squeezed out a sentence.
Sophie was speechless, Asher Land is reading a pregnancy guide? He’s not the one who’s pregnant, nor the one who’s going to give birth. It’s quite something for him to earnestly read those things.
Sophie felt a warm feeling inside, and shortly after, Asher Land got into the car with a bag full of stuff.
The only common trait of those things? Sourness.
Limes, dried plums, fruit vinegar...
Asher Land glanced at the items, feeling as if his teeth were about to fall out.
Not Sophie though, she happily took the bag from his hand, opened the lid of the dried plums, and put one in her mouth.
After dinner, Sophie took a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom, but she didn’t see Asher Land. Nanny Garcia said he was in the study.
So late already. Still working?
Sophie bit her lip, thought for a while, but decided to go up to find him anyway.
The study door was ajar, she gently pushed it open, and immediately saw Asher Land sitting at the desk, engrossed in a book.
"It’s so late already. Why aren’t you sleeping?"
As she was about to approach him, he quickly hid the book in the drawer upon hearing her voice. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Is it an important company secret or some indecent book?" she teased.
Pfft, an indecent book?
Is Asher Land the kind of man who needs to read such things?
"I have real-life experience with women, I don’t need those useless books for self-pleasure, do I?" he said with a calm expression and a subtle smile.
"Come here." He gestured for her to come over.
At this moment, not far from her, he was wearing black-rimmed glasses, dressed in a light gray V-neck sweater, looking much gentler than his usual sharp demeanor.
She walked over without any guard, sitting on his lap.
The scent of lavender body wash lingered on her, reaching his nose, and he greedily took a few more sniffs.
While he was momentarily unguarded, Sophie secretly opened the drawer, and the bold words "Pregnancy Guide" popped into her view.
So that’s what he was studying so late, and during the day, Robert even mentioned that he’s been reading it frequently.
So, he knows not to touch her in the first three months of pregnancy, knows she loves sour foods, and doesn’t get angry with her because she’s pregnant...
She wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a light kiss.
"What? Trying to seduce me again?"
That awful Asher Land, can he stop thinking so perversely?
Ignoring him, she reached out to take the pregnancy guide from the drawer and flipped through it, noticing traces of notes!
Is there a need to be this diligent?
"Only twenty-five days left."
"Only twenty-five days left till it’s three months, can I touch you then?"
He only realized now that the hardship of pregnancy isn’t just for women, but also for poor, burning-with-desire men.
Sophie shot Asher Land a glance with her beautiful eyes, then continued flipping through the magazine.
As if suddenly remembering something, Asher’s cold hands suddenly slid into her robe, accurately grasping her softness in front.
"What are you doing? Let go, you rogue!"
His hands were very cold, making her a bit uncomfortable.
"Sophie, how can you be this disobedient?"
