Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 842 - 838: Who Is the One Clinging to Him?

"Alexander, what’s wrong..." Sophie Smith turned her head and saw Alexander holding a phone tightly, crying sorrowfully.

Sophie didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Alexander like that, she was very worried.

"Don’t cry, Alexander, mommy is fine."

"Mommy,..." Alexander pouted, looking pitiful.

He was about to say something when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Alexander looked shocked. Could it be that uncle has come?

Should he open the door?

While Alexander was pondering, Sophie had already gotten up from the bed, ready to open the door.

She slipped on a pair of slippers casually, her face somewhat puffy. She glanced at herself in the mirror—it was truly a mess.

She opened the door, but upon seeing the person, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Irene, why are you here..."

"It’s nothing, I heard you were sick." Irene Morton curved her lips, "What’s wrong, are you seriously ill? Still needing to disturb Brother Asher in the middle of the night? Don’t you know that he’s also unwell?"

"What’s wrong with Asher Land?" Sophie didn’t know what was going on. "I, I didn’t ask him to come over..."

"You didn’t, but your son did." Irene sneered, "Anyway, both of you are the same, wanting to cling onto Brother Asher, right?"

As soon as Irene entered the room, she began mocking Sophie. Sophie’s mind was a mess, but she still tried hard to understand what Irene meant with every word she said.

"Sophie, I beg you to leave Brother Asher alone. He’s also sick. How can you shamelessly ask him to come over in the middle of the night to take care of you? Honestly, in the four years I’ve been with him, it’s been me taking care of him. How could I hope for him to take care of me? So in comparison, do you think Brother Asher feels more relaxed with whom?"

"I think you might be misunderstanding." Sophie tried to keep her mind clear, "The person clinging onto him isn’t me; it’s you, don’t you know?"

Sophie really wanted to be more assertive for once. She was scared enough; she didn’t want to lose Asher Land again. If Irene was determined to fight with her for him, she wouldn’t back down.

"You!" Irene was clearly enraged by your words. Sophie was right; it was she who was holding onto Asher Land, but being told like that, especially by Sophie, made her feel even more uneasy.

"I’m stating the facts. You know who’s in Asher Land’s heart. If you love him, you should let go, shouldn’t you?"

Sophie’s tone might be weak, but she meant every word she said.

"How sanctimonious!" Irene sneered, clearly provoked. She raised her hand and slapped Sophie hard before she had any chance to prepare.

Five crimson finger marks instantly appeared on Sophie’s face as the slap from Irene swung her head to the side. Her body was already frail; now she didn’t even have the strength to stand properly.

"Why did you hit my mommy!" Alexander pushed Irene forcefully, but she grabbed Alexander’s small hand and flung him onto the ground.

"Irene!"

Sophie shouted in anger; she usually never gets angry easily, but today Irene’s actions really provoked her.

She picked Alexander up from the ground, casting a sharp glance at Irene.

This side of Sophie, Irene had never seen before. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Irene, I don’t want to argue with you or cause any trouble, I just ask you to leave here immediately!"
