"No?" Sophie asked, taking a few steps back to keep some distance from him.
"Asher Land, can I say no?"
"I'm your man; you have the right to tell me not to do it."
"But, have you considered Irene's feelings?" Sophie shook her head. "She's become like this now. Can you still bear to refuse her?"
Ha, he knew she was this type of person. Her inherent kindness, her innocence, seemed never to be erased, no matter how much time passed.
She feared others' pain, so she would rather endure the pain herself.
"But Sophie, have you considered my feelings?" His voice was filled with helplessness. "I'm not a commodity you can rent, you know?"
Sophie froze, seemingly shaken by his words just now.
She really didn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry, Asher Land, I..." She admitted she hadn't thought it through. Many times, she overlooked the feelings of those closest to her.
Seeing her dilemma, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
He pulled her onto the bed, letting her rest her head on his arm.
