Holding hands

" Have you recorded his statement? " Asher asked the guard nearby .

" Yes sir ." The guard replied like a disciplined soldier.

" Bring the Smith family in the evening, they owe an explanation." He said with dark eyes.

At this time ,Amelia was really relieved that she is not the one who offended him . He looks scary when he is angry, no wonder he was described as someone ruthless in the novel. If he really did things which she read in the novel, she didn't even knew if she can still keep her calm.

But thankfully he is quite nice to her, and she has to make sure he keep being nice . Otherwise if the original plot repeat itself, a miserable future will be awaiting them.

' No, I will make sure that we have a very bright future. Even if we cannot be like the protagonists , we can atleast live a life without any regrets. '

Asher saw that she is looking at him and his expression softened .

" What are you looking at ? "

" You are good at changing expression"

" What does it mean? " He was confused.

" You weire scary just a moment ago and then became normal again. "

He chuckled. " So you were observing right now ? I thought you are not interested in me at all ."

He clasped his fingers with her " If you want to know the answer, just look at the mirror. Nowadays you are so cute , of course I cannot be unpleased looking at such a face. "

All the people in the basement - "_"

So, it's unpleasant to look at them ?

Amelia cupped her red cheeks with one hand . He is becoming more and more shameless.

" I have never acted cute." She muttered.

Asher didn't wanted to keep her in this place anymore, so he started to move ,with his hand still holding hers , but Amelia stopped him .

" What about them ? " She asked pointing at the two men , who were tied with a rope.

" They will stay here. "

" But why? You have already gotten a statement. " She had no plan to leave them behind.

" It doesn't matter, they tried to take you away from me. They deserve to be punished. "

His grip on her hand became tighter as his anxious memory of losing her came back.

" They never tried to seperate anyone, they just followed orders. Without my permission, they wouldn't be able to process with the plan. Even if you didn't came to know about my sister's plan , I would still have married you as decided. So , it doesn't really change anything. "

When the two men saw her talking for them , they immediately grabbed the chance and tried to explain themselves.

" That's right , I was told that the bride didn't wanted to get married, that's why I gave my service. If I knew that is not the case , I would have never interfered" The driver said nervously.

The servant saw that Asher clearly liked her and tried to use sweet words.

" I was also under the impression that our miss is not ready for this marriage, so I obeyed second miss , but from what I see our miss is definitely happy with this marriage. No other man is more suitable for our miss , I can see that you will have a happy marriage throughout your life. No one can separate you both , even if they want to. "

Amelia knew that he is trying to use sweet words.

' If a person like me can see through him , then a highly smart person like Asher will be not fooled by him. '

But she didn't expected that his plan actually worked, Asher was delighted hearing that they looked like a perfect couple.

" My wife wants to forgive them , so I will give them a chance. "

After saying this he left with her. The guards naturally understood and released them . The two men were happy to have a second chance in life and decided that they will never accept a work like this anymore. Amelia was practically an angel for them , they were very grateful.

After they left , Amelia tried to free her hand from him , but he didn't left her hand .

" You have a problem holding my hand? " His pleasant mood was starting to get sour .

Seeing that he misunderstood again , Amelia took a long breath .

" Who will not have a problem, when it look like you will crush my hand "

Asher noticed that he was holding her hand too tightly and loosened his grip .

" Just tell me to hold it gently, don't take it back . "

" I don't understand why do you have to my hand tiil the very end. "

" You will never understand. "

Afterwards, Asher went to work and in the meantime Amelia took a tour of the mansion. This mansion was like a castle, so big that it was not possible to enjoy everything here in one day.

She spent her time eating , drinking and sightseeing. There were many activities that could be done in this house like swimming , watching movies in a big display, playing games, etc. But she decided to do them one by one, after all she will be here for a long time.

In her past life, she couldn't even imagine being in a place like this. But now she can enjoy this things whenever she wants, it was like she was on luxurious vacation, free from the worries of her life.

Just like that a whole day passed by and evening came. It was time for Asher to come back.

She heard the sound of car coming and thought it was Asher but when she went down , it was Smith family.

' I almost forgot that they were about to come. '

Smith family was in awe seeing this mansion. Even though they have seen luxuries unlike Amelia, it was still something that they have never seen. Especially Lily , she was furious to see that her dumb sister has now a very high status.

She knew that Mr. Anderson is rich and that is why she did everything to prevent this marriage. But hearing about something and looking at it with own eyes were two different things. The mansion in front of her was enough to prove that her sister has won a lottery.
