Chapter 4 Who Is Your Secret Lover
Asher stared at Elianna and felt strange.
Why did Elianna seem different today?
Though she was a beauty, she was detached and nonchalant.
Her eyes were dull, and she had few expressions on her face. Moreover, she often seemed lost in her thoughts.
Compared with the sweet and considerate Kenley, Elianna seemed like a beautiful but lifeless statue.
However, right now, as she stood there, her eyes were bright, and her lips were like roses. Most importantly, she unconsciously looked alluring.
Despite her body being covered under a green high-necked knit dress, Asher somehow found her body extremely attractive.
The more he looked at her, the angrier he became. He even slapped her across the face and questioned, "Tell me! Who did you dress up like this for?"
Elianna was suddenly slapped by him, and a slap mark appeared on her fair cheek.
She didn't touch her stinging cheek and just replied with a stone face, "Didn't you say that no man is willing to see me naked? So, what does it matter how I dress?"
"You dare to talk back to me! Have you forgotten all the rules of the Gentry family?"
Asher wanted to hit her again, but feeling uneasy, Kenley tugged on his arm and said, "Asher."
Their eyes met, and Asher suddenly realized what she meant.
Wait, he had just said those words to Kenley in bed. How could Elianna possibly know about them?
"Are you stalking me?"
Elianna smiled and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about. But I think that sometimes, there are things we both know. There is no need to put them into words, right?"
"How dare you!"
Elianna glanced at Kenley and added, "I have heard that your mother is setting Kenley up with blind dates, and a woman's reputation matters."
Kenley shivered and tugged on Asher hopelessly, saying, "Asher, I'm scared."
Asher had to protect Kenley and glared at Elianna as if he wanted to tear her apart.
How come he hadn't noticed how vicious this woman could be? She was now threatening him.
Truly, a barking dog never bites.
If he weren't worried that rumors would damage Kenley's reputation, he would have stripped her naked and thrown her into the street.
Seeing Asher's hesitation, Elianna continued walking upstairs.
"Stop right there!"
Asher shouted from downstairs, "Whose suit is this?"
Standing on the stairs, Elianna looked down at him and replied coldly, "Whose it is doesn't matter, and what matters now is how you feel."
Asher was surprised and asked, "Are you deliberately leaving this suit here to make me misunderstand?"
Elianna didn't explain, but Asher felt like he had already seen through her.
He knew Elianna wouldn't have the guts to cheat on him.
She must have known about his affair with Kenley and was trying to get his attention.
This thought lifted his spirits a bit.
However, Kenley couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, for she noticed Elianna's awkward walking gesture and the feminine charm on her.
He picked up the suit again and examined it carefully. She said, "Asher, I think that this suit wasn't left behind by Anna. It looks more like..."
"Enough."
Asher interrupted her and said confidently, "You know how much Elianna loves me, and besides, the Gentry family wouldn't tolerate any misconduct. If she dare to cheat on me, they would take care of it."
Seeing this, Kenley couldn't argue with Asher anymore.
However, she glanced at the closed door upstairs and couldn't shake the doubt in her heart.
Ever since Elianna recovered from her serious illness six months ago, she seemed like a different person.
Not only did she become more reserved, but her attitude towards Asher had also changed.
