NovelEnglishChapter 278 Chapter 243 Asher filled the bathtub, gently lowered Thalia into the water, and took a soft towel to wipe her smooth, fair skin. Whether from the steamy bathwater or something else, the flush on Thalia's face refused to fade. The bathtub was spacious enough for both of them to bathe comfortably. Thalia rested against the edge of the tub, letting Asher wash her body. Looking at her rosy cheeks, Asher felt a stirring in his heart and leaned in to plant a few quick pecks on her face.

Thalia, her body aching and completely drained of energy, simply allowed his affection. ---- "So good," Asher murmured, covering her lips, face, and eyes with gentle kisses. After the bath, Asher carried Thalia to the bedroom, dried her hair, and changed the bedsheets. Thalia sat in a chair as Asher stood behind her, blow-drying her hair.
"May I stay overnight?" he asked. Thalia replied wearily, "I'm truly exhausted. Ihave no strength left." The man behind her seemed to chuckle softly. The hairdryer wavered as his long fingers ran through her hair. "I promise, TI just hold you while we sleep. Nothing more." "I don't believe you." He had already taken her three times. From afternoon until sunset. His stamina was terrifyingly impressive. ---- She dared not provoke this long-deprived man again. Thalia shook her head.
"Still don't believe you." "When have I ever lied to you?" This wasn't the right thing to say. At the mention of lying, Thalia's expression darkened. "Oh, really? What did you say when you broke up with me?" Asher fell silent. Knowing he was in the wrong, he quickly apologized. "My mistake. The circumstances were exceptional then. You understand now why I broke up with you, right?" "Hmph." Thalia's voice turned cold.
"Breaking up is one thing, but what about tellingeverything you'd said before was a lie? And what about fabricating that gossip with Emily? Weren't those lies too?" Asher replied sheepishly, "White lies." Thalia wasn't buying it. "Still lies." "Fair enough." Asher conceded defeat. ---- After drying her hair, Asher asked gently, "You must be hungry. What would you like to eat? Il make it for you." "Anything is fine." When Asher entered the kitchen, he noticed the rice cooker was plugged in and set to "keep warm." Nearby, the steamer was emitting vapor. Lifting the lid, he found four dishes and a soup. It seemed that Mary, the housekeeper, had been by earlier. Perhaps she had knocked, but they had been too engrossed to notice. Asher brought the food to the table and called Thalia to eat.

Seeing the spread, Thalia asked suspiciously, "How did you prepare this so quickly? Even delivery NO wouldn't be this fast." "I didn't make all it." Thalia froze. So it must have been Mary.
