NovelEnglishChapter 252 ---- The court hearing was scheduled for 3 PM the following day. The case was somewhat complex, and the hearing didn't end until. As she left the courthouse, Thalia immediately spotted a man leaning against a car and talking on the phone. Asher wore a simple black shirt paired with dark casual pants that highlighted his long legs. The setting sun had painted the sky a warm orange-red, and the last rays bathed him in a soft golden light. The surrounding scenery seemed to becmerely his background. He simply stood there, becoming the most eye-catching focus in this sunset tableau. The scene was so captivating that passersby couldn't help but stop and look. As luck would have it, a woman ina strappy dress with a good figure had just approached him to strike up a conversation-the first thing Thalia saw upon arriving. She stopped a few steps away from Asher. ---- The man had his back to her and hadn't seen her approach.
The woman was well-dressed with sophisticated makeup, tall and quite pretty. "Handsome, let's be friends," the woman smiled flirtatiously, showing her WhatQR code. "Can I add you?" Asher was still on the phone and simply waved his hand at the woman. "Don't be so uptight," the woman's tone carried a hint of coquettishness, her voice lifting at the end as if baiting a hook. Asher took a couple of steps to the side, distancing himself from the woman, still focused on his phone call.
The woman pouted and waited where she stood. Asher quickly finished his call and turned to see the woman still there. The woman smiled boldly. "Handsome, your face is absolutely perfect. I've never seen such an exceptional man in real life. You're not from around here, are you? Are you here on vacation? I could show you around-free tour guide services!" Asher had his back to Thalia, so she couldn't see his expression. But because she was close enough, she heard Asher say coolly, "No need.

I'm here to pick up my girlfriend." The smile vanished from the woman's face as she said disappointedly, "Oh, you're taken." Then, the woman's gaze moved past Asher and landed on Thalia behind him. She gestured with her chin toward Thalia and asked, "Is that your girlfriend?" Hearing this, Asher turned around. The moment he saw Thalia, the ice in his eyes melted, his expression instantly softening, "Lia." Asher walked toward Thalia. Thalia's face remained impassive. "What are you doing here?" "Tm not busy lately and wanted to keep you company," Asher spoke to Thalia with such gentleness that he seemed like a completely different person from the one who had just coldly dismissed the flirtatious woman.
