Chapter 306 ---- The bathroom was prepared with fresh towels and women's summer clothing. It was a champagne-colored silk dress. Thalia checked the tag-it was her size. Next to it were new, packaged underwear, also in her size. Asher must have had someone buy and deliver them this morning. He always handled these details perfectly. After her shower, she found Asher sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, working on his laptop.
Seeing her emerge, he closed his computer, walked over, and took her hand, leading her to the sofa. Without a word, he picked up a hairdryer and began drying her hair. sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. ---- The spacious room was flooded with light. Asher's room was on the second floor. Looking down through the windows, one could see a garden full of blooming flowers. In the height of summer, various flowers competed in their brilliant displays.

In the dining room, the table was already set with steaming dishes-freshly prepared and all Thalia's favorites. After eating, Asher finally asked: "Lia, did something happen yesterday? Why did you drink so much at the bar?" Thalia lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly. After a moment of silence.
---- She sighed and said: "My dad found out we're back together. When I went hyesterday, he toldto break up with you." Asher's gaze paused, his eyes sharpening. - "What do you think, Lia?" His tone carried barely detectable tension and anxiety. "I told him I wouldn't," Thalia said firmly. She looked up at Asher, determination in her eyes. "Asher, I don't want to break up. You're the only one in my heart.
I only want you-no one else." The anxiety that had just emerged in him was dispersed by her words. Asher's gaze softened as he reached out to hold her hand. "Lia, don't worry. We won't break up." His broad, warm palm gave Thalia an inexplicable sense of security. Thalia murmured agreement. Asher continued: "Lethandle this. Don't worry-I'll talk to your father." Concern flashed in Thalia's eyes. "You... my dad has serious issues with your family.
I'm worried about you..." "Tunderstand," Asher said gently. "It's okay. I'll handle it ---- well-trust me." "Alright." Just then, Thalia's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Lucy calling. Thalia answered, "Hello, what's up, Lucy?" "Lia, where are you? Did you get hsafely?" Lucy asked with concern. "Yes, I did. What about you and Katie?" Thalia suddenly remembered-Lucy and Katie had been drinking with her last night.
She'd forgotten to check on them and didn't know how they'd gotten hor if anything had happened. Two women, completely drunk, and it had been so late. Lucy replied: "Katie and I woke up in a hotel, fully clothed. We asked the hotel staff and found out it's owned by the Blackwood Group. Wow, Lia, I've never stayed in such a luxurious hotel before-five stars, executive suite, with a river view!" "When Katie and I woke up, we were shocked. That bed was ---- huge and so comfortable! This is the first tin my life I've slept in such a high-end bed. Five-star hotels really are different. We got lucky because of you-I'm guessing Asher's people brought us there." Thalia felt relieved. No problems, that was good. Lucy continued chattering about how amazing the luxury executive suite was. Thalia smiled. "Well, enjoy it then." "I'm going to soak in that massive bathtub with a bubble bath and rose petals!" Lucy was totally excited. suddenly, her voice dropped.
