He was momentarily stunned. Somehow, hearing her say she slept well made him unhappy.
After all, last night was nothing short of torment for him.
"Did you sleep alone last night?" She tried to calm her turbulent emotions as she asked, word by word.
What was this woman asking? She wasn't by his side last night. If he wasn't sleeping alone, who else would he be sleeping with?
"Yes, alone."
Sophie herself didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, the room fell into silence. Asher Land furrowed his brow. The reason she asked this must have been because she heard some rumors earlier.
He got out of bed, walked over to her, and looked down at her.
"I did sleep alone last night. I'm very clean. Don't let your imagination run wild and then accuse me unjustly."
There was a sincere emotion in his eyes. Sophie looked up into them and inexplicably nodded to indicate she believed him.
A slight smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Her trust was one of the things he most desired.
