42 I'll Definitely Take Good Care of Him (EDITED)
After returning from work, Aria Blake settled at the table and was having a late-night dinner alone. It was a long and tiring day for her.
She looked at Nadia and asked, "Where is Asher? Did he say anything about his destination?"
"No, madame. Young Master said that he was invited by Lady Mia for a club." Nadia answered.
Hearing Mia's name, Aria couldn't help but think, 'Sigh... She always took Asher on random outings. It seems he won't be coming back tonight.'
"Invited, huh..." She murmured.
She was planning to invite Asher out since it had already been a long time. But Mia jumped into action right away and spoiled her plan.
'That child, Mia, doesn't know how to hold herself back. She is always up to something mischievous.' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thinking this, her beautiful brows were a little pinched into a frown.
"Madam, Are you alright?" Nadia noticed the minute change on her face and worried for her well-being.
Seeing this, her expression relaxed, and a tender light flashed through the purple gems within her eyes. Her smile was charming and mesmerizing.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about Mia." She said it in a playful manner and switched topics, not wanting Nadia to worry for nothing.
Although a bit hesitant, Nadia understood and smiled.
"Hmmm, yes, Madame. Knowing her personality, she will drag Young Master Asher somewhere again."
However, the same expression wasn't in her thoughts.
Although she didn't think about Mia's usual actions towards her Young Master and even encouraged Asher to go spend time, this time Nadia didn't have a happy look, nor did her heart agree to her casual acceptance.
All of a sudden, the vibrant motions with melody sounded from Aria's phone, distracting her train of thoughts.
Taking the phone in her hand, she saw the caller ID <Lyssa> and her face became full of smiles as she answered, "Hello, Lyssa!!"
"Hi Aria!! How are you?" Lyssa, whom she calls her best friend since childhood, had a cheerful and melodious voice.
"Great!! What about you?" Although she was very busy with her work, when the ringing tone came up, she couldn't afford not to answer Lyssa's call.
"Me!? I'm just bored and working here. I wanted to ask about the case related to Little Ash." Lysandra's voice took a serious note as she said that.
"What case!?" As she listened to Lysandra's serious and unusual words, she couldn't understand what happened and was lost.
"You don't know, Aria? Today, he caught a caretaker in the orphanage who used to abuse kids in secret and killed one too. Nadia was the one who helped him. Don't tell me, you are not aware." Lyssa's voice was mixed with disbelief and shock.
"Hmm... Wait a minute." Aria didn't show much reaction, as with Nadia by Asher's side, she didn't have to worry about his safety. She put her call on mute and looked at Nadia and inquired, "What happened at the orphanage? Why did my baby go there?"
Although she was a bit surprised that her madam, out of the blue, asked about the events of the orphanage, Nadia just sent her memories through Spirit Sense to Aria straight away, which included all the details of their visit.
After closing her eyes for a while, Aria absorbed all the memories and went over them in a few seconds. Soon she opened her eyes and said, "You handled things well, Nadia."
"Thank you, madam." Nadia was touched in her heart.
Although praise was not uncommon between the two, each compliment still played a major role, filling her chest with pride, warmth, and contentment.
"Good, then." With that, Aria's gaze shifted, and she turned towards her phone. She asked, "Lyssa, just now Nadia told me everything. Since my baby wants that guy to get punished, you should just do that! or what? Do you no longer care about Asher just because he didn't talk to you for a while after you showed him your naked body to tease him?"
"Hey, hey, stop Aria!!! There is no need for a guilt trip now. Fine, I will punish that criminal. Just don't say anything more about that incident. It was a total accident that my towel slipped right when he opened the door. So I just teased him a little... Okay, many times. And not to forget, you are a hypocrite. You also always tease him a lot." Lyssa kept ranting.
'I know it, Silly.' Aria thought with a silent giggle, yet instead she said, "Haha... Anyway, when you meet, please take good care of Asher, Lyssa."
"Well, I will take Good~ Care of him, and where is Little Ash now anyway?" Her seductive voice, without hesitation, revealed a clear intention and hinted at a different meaning.
Hearing Lyssa's ambiguous words, she was speechless. Thinking, 'When will this stupid woman ever learn?'
"He is out having fun with Mia."
"Playing out, huh? If so, then take care. Bye, Aria. I will finish this case soon." Lyssa chuckled a bit and bid goodbye.
"Yeah, Please!" She replied and cut the call.
Aria put the phone away, thought about what she saw in the memories, and asked Nadia, "What did Asher say about the little girl Lily? He seemed to like her."
"Young Master said, once he gets your permission, he will bring that little girl home."
"Hmmm," When Aria heard everything, her beautiful lips couldn't help but smile.
After seeing Asher's loving gaze and feelings regarding the girl called Lily, she knew she had no choice left, and she couldn't deny it.
"Fufu... I didn't think my baby boy wanted a little sister to spoil." She muttered in a low, almost teasing voice while picturing the adorable scene.
Her love for her son was so great; bringing another kid was not a big matter. However, the first thing was that adoption was never easy, and they must support each other, which was a perfect family scenario.
Yet an unexpected thought about a certain person amused her, and then her slender fingers moved and swiped on the screen.
Soon, a profile picture with a familiar girl appeared, and Aria's gorgeous and loving smiles deepened.
