NovelEnglishChapter 273 After shopping with Charlotte, Thalia returned to her private villa. As her car approached the garden in front of the residential area, Thalia spotted a man sitting on a park bench, talking on the phone. Why was Asher here? Randolph and Aunt Victoria occasionally visited her here. If they ran into him, it would cause problems. Thalia's heart skipped a beat. "Alana, stop the car." Once the car stopped, Thalia pushed open the door and hurried toward the garden.

Asher, sitting on the bench while on the phone, had his eyes ---- downcast and first noticed Thalia's shoes. Black Saint Laurent high-heeled sandals, above which were a pair of slender, fair legs. Looking up, Asher's eyes met Thalia's. She was dressed up today. Her black fitted dress perfectly showcased her flawless figure. The red lips paired with black created a striking contrast against her fair skin, giving her a breathtakingly beautiful appearance. Asher's Adam's apple bobbed as he ended his call and gently pulled her by the wrist into his embrace. Thalia smoothly settled onto Asher's lap. Asher wrapped his arms around her, his deep voice resonating above her head, "I missed you." Asmile curved Thalia's lips. "I missed you too." "If you missed me, why didn't you call? ---- Why didn't you cfind me, hmm?" "Thad plans today." "What plans?" "Lwent shopping with Charlotte." The man's tone turned slightly sour. "Isee. Your best friend is more important than me." "You're jealous of Charlotte?" Thalia laughed. His lips moved lower, brushing against Thalia's earlobe as he whispered seductively, "I could have gone shopping with you." "No." It would be too conspicuous. The timing wasn't right. Being seen right under her father's nose would inevitably lead to an argument. Possibly even a forced breakup. Asher's breath tickled Thalia's neck. His voice deepened. "Am I that unacceptable to be seen with? Hmm?" ---- His voice was too seductive. Thalia felt electricity coursing through her body. A tingling sensation spread throughout. Thalia said, "Cinside with me. Don't stay out here." She stood to leave. Asher pulled her back. "When will you make our relationship official?" Asher embraced her from behind, his warm lips grazing Thalia's neck, his voice husky. Thalia softened her tone coaxingly. "Be good. Let's talk about this at home." Those two words-"at home"-pleased Asher. "Alright," Asher released Thalia. "Let's go home." Thalia brought Asher back to her place. This private villa was purchased a few months ago, and it was Asher's first visit. ---- Thalia opened the door and invited Asher in.
With long strides, Asher entered and looked around, even using Thalia's cup to pour himself water, appearing as comfortable as if it were his own home. The house was bought for Thalia by Randolph after her breakup with Asher. It was decorated in the style Thalia preferred. After his tour, Asher held Thalia's cup, looking at her expectantly. "Now that we're home, tell me, when do you plan to make our relationship official?" "Why such a rush?" Thalia smiled.
"Of course I'm in a rush," Asher's expression turned serious. "Elliott won't stop pursuing you, Rupert has been eyeing you forever, and now there's this Pierson guy. How can I not be anxious?" "You know about that?" Thalia asked, surprised. "How did you find out about Timothée?" He hadn't attended that reception. ---- "The Pierson family and your father were trying to set you up with Timothée. There were people I know at that reception." So that was it.

Thalia explained, "My dad does wantto develop something with Timothée, but neither of us is interested. He knows I'm with hyoth and he even toldhe has feelings for Charlotte." Upon hearing this, Asher's expression softened. "He's interested in Charlotte?" Thalia nodded. "surprising, isn't it? I didn't see it coming either-quite a shock." Asher gave a slight nod. "That eliminates him, but there are still two men circling." Thalia looked at him with amusement.
"Those two aren't threats to you. Are you lacking confidence?" The man's expression turned serious, a flash of pain and loneliness crossing his eyes.
e "It's not about lacking Confidence. It's fear of losing you. I've already lost you once. I don't want to lose you a second time." Thalia was touched. She walked up to him, stood on her tiptoes, and cupped his face in her hands. "Asher, my heart only has room for you. Don't-" Asher suddenly lowered his head, pressing his lips to hers, cutting off Thalia's unfinished words.
