Chapter 33
Asher, chicless about Julia’s visit, only saw Arya’s tears and exclaimed, “Hey, I was just trying to help. I knew you two had a fight, so I thright of calling Aryaliere to patch things up?
Bit room. But he didn’t dwell
Noticing Harry’s sour face and Arya’s continuous crying, Asher remembered he’d seen a woman leaving the dimly lit it, drinking she was just some bar girl caught by Arya trying to cling to Harry
To avoid making things worse, Asher kindly asked all the other women in leave the room. With just the three of them left, be still hadn’t grasped the depth of the problem. He pulled Harry to sit, whispering, “Sort it out with Arya, and don’t make her cry. Then, he turned to Arya and gently added. “No more tears, okay? Harry’s here because he felt down for having a fight with you.”
Seeing Asher feeling quite confident in his peacemaking skills, Harry was fuming. “Who told you to call Arya here?”
Asher looked bewildered at Harry’s reaction. ‘Did I get in wrong? Harry didn’t come here because of Arya, so seeing Arya here ticked him off, huh? hr wondered
An idea seemed to strike Asher. “Did I mess up Harry’s evening plans with that woman who just left by bringing Arya here? he thought.
While Asher was lost in his thoughts, Arya sobbed and whispered, “Asher, Harry being mad isn’t your fault. Maybe I just shouldn’t have been here. I should’ve stayed abroad and not come back.”
“Huh?” Asher was confused.
Harry picked up his jacket from the couch, ready to chase after Julia. Sensing his intention. Arya quickly reached for Harry’s hand, pleading. “Harry, are you really going to leave me here alone?”
Harry paused and stared at Arya He hesitated, but Julia’s face and her words made him anxious. He always found it hard to read Julia, and that
frustrated him.
“Harry, I suddenly don’t feel well. Can we go home, please?” Sensing Harry’s hesitation. Arya attempted to sway him from going after Julia
Just when she thought she had succeeded, Harry unexpectedly brushed her hand away and instructed Asher, “You take Arya home. I’ve got something else to sort out.”
With that, Arya couldn’t even hold onto Harry as she watched him sprint out of the room.
At the bar entrance, Julia, with a face full of mixed emotions, took a deep breath. The bouncer nearby, the same one who had stopped her earlier, saw her upset and stepped up to offer some comforting words along with a bottle of water
thirsty, Julia gladly took the water. “Thanks”
