NovelEnglishChapter 303 Chapter 256 Thalia was completely inebriated, but instinctively snuggled closer into Asher's embrace, mumbling sleepily, "Mmm, so comfy." Asher lifted her up, and Thalia nestled her head against his chest. She wasn't crying or fussing-her earlier ramblings had stopped, and she was quiet now. Asher looked at her with eyes soft as spring water, his deep voice warm with affection. "That's my girl." Holding her like a child, Asher carried Thalia out of the bar with one arm.

"Miss Winters' friends need to be safely escorted home, but since we don't know their addresses, let's ---- take them to one of the Blackwood Group hotels for the night. Miss Alana, I'll need your assistance." As a man, William couldn't appropriately escort two intoxicated women to hotel rooms.
Alana glanced in the direction Thalia and Asher had gone, her brow furrowing slightly. "Don't worry, Miss Alana. With our CEO, Miss Winters will be perfectly safe. Plus, he has plenty of security with him." Alana wanted to follow and protect Thalia, but looking at the completely drunk Lucy and Katie, she ultimately decided against it. As Thalia's assistant at the law firm, Alana's position allowed her to protect Thalia closely, and over tshe had becfriends with Lucy and Katie too.
They were now her friends as well.

Stepping outside the bar, the summer heat hit them without the air conditioning, Thalia buried her face deeper into the crook of Asher's neck, making little whimpering sounds, her alcohol-laced breath warming his skin. The driver respectfully opened the car door.
Asher carried Thalia in and settled in the back seat. He positioned her sideways on his lap, cradling her. The black Cullinan cruised smoothly through London's summer night. Street lights flashed by through the windows, casting Thalia's face in alternating light and shadow. The car was quiet. Thalia's eyes were open, neither noisy nor upset. Her unfocused gaze seemed distant, as if she were emptying her mind or perhaps it was full of unspoken thoughts.

Thalia's face was flushed pink, adorably drunk, effortlessly tugging at Asher's heartstrings without trying. "Asher," Thalia suddenly called his name. "Tm here," he replied, his voice low and tender. "Asher, please don't break up with me, okay?" Thalia's voice was tearful as she furrowed her brow and buried her face deep in the crook of his neck.
Her soft lips grazed the skin of his neck. Thalia's slightly whiny tone was like a little hook, gently tugging at Asher's nerve endings. Ripples spread across the lake of his heart. He lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. "We won't break up. Never again." Thalia made a soft, sweet sound in her throat. Asher's eyes darkened, "Lia."
