Asher Land's lips carried a playful smile, and he nodded knowingly.
"Yeah, how should I punish you?" he murmured as if talking to himself.
He bent his tall figure down and leaned closer to her.
"How about punishing you by having you accompany me on a lake outing?"
"Ah?"
Damn Asher Land, could it be that he intends to use the opportunity to push her into the water?
"As long as you're willing."
Even though she was panicking inside, her mouth spoke softly, after all, she couldn't completely dissociate herself from this matter.
"Good girl." He affectionately tapped the tip of her nose, and Sophie Smith turned her head awkwardly.
His reaction was too strange, not getting angry but instead joking with her?
"Brother Asher..." Irene Morton's weak voice sounded from behind them, prompting Asher Land to reflexively turn his head.
"Irene, you're awake."
