Chapter 39. You can’t touch her.
Looking at Liam Jun’s gentle smile, Mia actually lost her concentration for a moment, “Liam Jun …”
She didn’t expect that the one who could stand up for her would be Liam Jun who she hadn’t been thinking about!
Grandpa Jun and Liam Jun stared wide-eyed, and Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian didn’t know how to dissuade them, and the atmosphere in the living room was stifling to the point of suffocation.
Just as the two were at a standstill, Asher slowly stood up from the couch and before anyone could react, reached out and yanked Mia back from Liam Jun’s grasp, wrapping one arm around her in his own, declaring his ownership.
The unexpected change made Mia’s eyes widen as she looked up at the man standing beside her, shock leaping to her face.
Asher’s deep eyes danced with an unknown anger, his face tightening as his icy gaze raked over Liam Jun with a bit of glare.
“Asher …” looking at the man next to her, Mia unconsciously called out his name.
The man whose name was called glanced down at the woman beside him, and when he saw her shocked, glittering eyes, his stern eyes couldn’t help but soften a few moments, but they were fleeting.
Asher’s cold, stern eyes swept from Mia to Liam Jun, “She’s not for you to touch.”
She can only be his Asher’s!
In the face of Asher’s indifference, Liam Jun just smiled lightly, in fact, when he saw the look Mia gave Asher, he couldn’t help but feel an unusual tingle in his heart.
Even though Asher hurt her to this point, she still can’t let him go.
Raising a bright smile, Liam Jun tried to sound calm, “Brother, if you don’t want her anymore, why do you need to fake out your head? After all, you were the one who forced her to leave. Besides, you wouldn’t even dare to defy grandpa.”
Liam Jun’s words made Mia’s face instantly pale, and there was a slight tremor in the palm of her hand that Asher held in his. Although she didn’t want to admit it, what Liam Jun said was the truth.
“So what?” Looking coldly at a smiling Liam Jun, Asher’s face was dreadfully grim.
Does he, Liam Jun, want to stand up for this woman? Doesn’t he know that even if this woman leaves, she’s still his Asher’s, and what his Asher doesn’t want is not to be touched by anyone else!
Hearing Asher’s words, Liam Jun couldn’t help but tsk out, his eyes had a cold look in them, “You don’t allow others to care for what you don’t want yourself, brother, you’re too bossy, aren’t you?”
That one sentence managed to draw Asher’s anger, and his already dark eyes instantly clouded to the extreme, furious anger flashing at the bottom of his eyes as he stared hard at Liam Jun’s face, the temperature around him plummeting.
The others’ faces were no better, especially Riina’s, whose well-groomed eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment when she saw that both of their brothers were actually fighting over Mia.
Asher tightened his grip on his wrist in his hand, ignoring Mia’s pained little face crinkling into a frown, “This woman, even if I throw it away, you are not to touch it!”
Hearing Asher’s words, Mia’s already white face, which was clamped in his hands, looked even more like a transparent white paper at this moment.
This man …
In his eyes, she was just an object that could be discarded at will and not even allowed to be touched?
Liam Jun looked over at the pale Mia with a strong concern in the bottom of his eyes and said coldly, “Asher, she is a person, not an object, not something you can just throw away … whenever you want.”
“Shut up, all of you!” Tapping the ground angrily with his cane, Grandpa Jun’s eyes swept over the two men in a fury “I don’t care what you’re talking about, but this woman has to go today! Both of you shut up if you don’t want to be thrown out of the Jun family’s door!”
Lena sat aside and looked at the two brothers’ grim faces and said with a sneer, “Liam Jun, you came to defend Mia so much, it’s not like you have a crush on her, is it?”
Her words were like a boulder stirring up a heaving wave on a calm lake, and everyone’s eyes widened, especially Mia’s.
Her words did the trick, Grandpa’s eyes instantly widened and his stern eyes instantly looked at Mia beside Asher “It’s unlike me, I really underestimated you woman, you actually … actually … ”
Grandpa Jun was coughing in anger and his face was red, he didn’t expect that both of his grandchildren were actually enchanted by Mia!
Seeing that her words had an effect, Leena sneered and swept over to Liam Jun “Liam, I’ve run into you with Mia several times, you guys are so close, aren’t you the one who likes her? Or, Asher has been kept in the dark by you guys …”
“Lena, you’re just afraid of the world, aren’t you? Also, if you weren’t deliberately following me, how could you see me and Mia together every time?” Liam Jun blandly looked at Li Na, his face was not the least bit vain and panicked from being caught, instead, he was all calm and retorted lightly.
“Leena, don’t be ridiculous!” Mia looked coldly at Leena, her clear eyes filled with anger, “Liam Jun and I are just normal good friends, not what you think.”
Riina had provoked it again and again, and she just couldn’t help it!
Riina was very embarrassed by Liam Jun’s snarky comment and said forcefully, “Why is she this agitated if there’s nothing going on between you two? It must be because she’s so annoyed after I poked holes in what’s going on between you two!”
Asher released his grip on Mia’s hand and looked at her coldly sideways, his inky black eyes cold to the bone.
When she saw Asher’s cold gaze back at her, her heart instantly went to freezing point, and two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, leaving two deep tear marks on her face.
Turns out, this man doesn’t trust her either …
In fact, this man had never trusted her at all, and she had been foolish enough to pour all her feelings into this man, she was so foolish.
Seeing Mia’s tears, Asher’s deep eyes instantly dimmed, and the softest part of his heart felt like something had hit him hard. However, just as he was about to take Mia’s small hand again, the scene of Mia and Liam Jun kissing by the roadside unexpectedly came to his mind, and the pity at the bottom of his eyes was quickly replaced by ice coldness.
He really, there was no way to trust her.
Liam Jun looked at all the people in the room and suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter slowly going from small to large and getting louder as if he had seen the funniest thing ever.
Everyone was surprised by his sudden change of heart, and puzzled eyes gathered on him.
“I’m sorry, it’s really because it’s so funny that I couldn’t hold it in for a while …” Liam Jun laughed for a long time until he was out of breath from laughing before he finally spoke to Lina, “If me and Mia really had something going on then I would have taken her away a long time ago, why would I stay until now? Besides, don’t you think it’s better for me if she leaves Jun’s house? Then why would I keep her?”
Liam Jun’s eyes burst with extreme coldness as he looked at Riina. In that moment, he was almost another Asher.
Riina gritted her teeth and glared at Liam Jun who was defending Mia, her red nail polish painted fingers quickly tightened as she looked at Liam Jun coldly and said, “Liam Jun, there might be some kind of conspiracy here! Do you admit it or not, you like Mia?”
Asher’s dark eyes, locked on Liam Jun, his face unusually hard.
“Lina, you’re really good at being a writer because you’re good at making up stories.” Liam Jun looked at Mia and said evasively.
“Alright, shut up all of you!” Grandpa Jun was shaking with anger and took out all his anger on the pale little face of Mia, “I only order you now, get out of here right now, I never want to see you again!”
“Grandpa, it’s storming outside, and she’s a weak woman, is it too much for you to let her leave like that?” Before Mia could say anything, Liam Jun looked fixedly at Grandpa Jun.
Mia glanced deeply at Asher, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart, but all she saw was Asher’s icy stare, seemingly unconcerned with what would happen next.
Mia’s heart, in an instant, sank to the bottom, and there was no longer the slightest expectation.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Liam Jun, you’re revolting, how dare you talk to Grandpa like that!” Grandpa Jun looked at Liam Jun who didn’t give in and his hands were trembling with anger.
Mia’s pale little face, her voice seemed to come from far away, “Well, don’t even argue, I’m leaving now …”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Asher take her small hand, turn, and drag her up the steps to the second floor.
Mia, who was completely unprepared for this action, could only be dragged along by him with a dumbfounded expression.
“Asher! What do you want!” After a few seconds of frozen silence, Grandpa Jun’s exasperated voice rang out from the living room.
“I’ll let her go, but not now.” Asher stopped and swept him a bland look as well, speaking faintly in reply. After saying that, he no longer cared about the others and led Mia into the room on the second floor.
He made plenty of excuses for himself, trying to suppress the pain that welled up in his heart when he saw her leave. Now that Liam Jun had inserted himself, there was no longer any reason for him to let it go
Looking at Asher’s slender back, Mia’s eyes dimmed, but her heart secretly made up her mind: Asher, I must leave, I must learn to forget you, only then will I change back to my old self …
As she watched the two depart, Liam Jun’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, but her heart welled up full of sourness that she was still willing to leave with Asher. Even though, he had hurt her all over.
