"Listen, Asher, I want you to understand that nothing is truly impossible," Henry began, his voice filled with conviction. He noticed Asher's doubtful expression and felt the need to address it. "You're assuming it's impossible for her to move on from the relationship she's had for the past nine years, but try to imagine the immense pain she's currently going through. Are those nine years of memories worth enduring this level of anguish? I think not."Asher took a deep breath, contemplating Henry's words. "I agree, Uncle Henry. However, I believe that allowing her time to heal and move on at her own pace might alleviate some of her pain," he responded, trying to find a more compassionate approach.Henry let out a weary sigh, his face reflecting his disagreement. "No, Asher. Right now, Kylie doesn't want to move on from your brother. What she truly wants is to have him back in her life," he explained, his tone conveying a sense of urgency. He reminded Asher of the fierce determination
My Husband’s Lover 130. It hurts in my heart.
Asher stood outside Kylie's bedroom door, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation. He knew he needed to talk to her, but he also wanted to approach the situation with care. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door gently.After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Kylie lying on her bed, cocooned in the comforting embrace of her blanket. A smile played at the corners of Asher's lips as he stepped into the room, quietly closing the door behind him to create a sense of privacy.Kylie's head turned slowly, her gaze meeting Asher's as he made his way towards her. There was a mixture of weariness and vulnerability in her eyes, but also a glimmer of recognition. Asher's heart ached for her, understanding that she was going through a difficult time.Seating himself on the edge of the bed, Asher leaned back against the headboard, wanting to be close to Kylie without intruding on her personal space. His concern for her well-being promp

"I apologize... I'm sorry. However, regardless of that, you cannot sleep," Asher responded."Of course, I can... if not—" Just at that moment, Kylie blinked her eyes and shifted her gaze towards him."Who's that girl?" Kylie asked, a smile forming on her face as she looked at Asher. He frowned in response."Which girl?" Asher asked, shrugging his shoulders. Kylie promptly rose from her position, pulling back her comforter, and sat on the bed beside him, causing him to blink his eyes in surprise."Huh?" Asher uttered, his confusion evident. Meanwhile, Kylie's smile remained bright."What's the matter with you?" Asher inquired, raising his eyebrows."Come on, Asher. Stop hiding it from me any longer. I'm aware that you're in love with a certain girl," Kylie retorted, a smirk playing on her lips. Asher's eyes widened in shock at her statement."What?" Asher questioned, his voice laced with surprise and confusion."Yes, I know it... Last night, when you mentioned having a girlfriend, I wa
My Husband’s Lover 132. Damon is hiding something from me.
Kylie and Asher found themselves locked in a profound gaze, their eyes meeting in a moment of intense vulnerability. However, a sense of fear overcame Asher as he contemplated the consequences of his recent confession. Doubts plagued his mind, as he worried about Kylie's reaction and the possibility of her rejecting him completely.As the weight of Asher's words settled in, a hint of desperation crept into his voice. "Kylie... please try to understand where I'm coming from," he pleaded, his voice tinged with anxiety. Sensing the tension, Kylie let out a heavy sigh, her expression reflecting a mix of weariness and curiosity.The emotional weight of the conversation began to unravel a deeper truth. "I love my mother more than anything," Kylie started, her voice laced with genuine affection, "but it seems she wants nothing to do with me. Do you really believe I haven't tried everything?"Asher, too, let out a sigh, his concern for Kylie palpable. "I know you've tried, Kylie," he replied,
My Husband’s Lover 133. Go out with me.
Amidst her introspection, Asher's voice pierces through Kylie's thoughts. She looks up, meeting his gaze, as he utters words that carry a weight of disappointment and skepticism."Kylie," Asher calls out, his voice tinged with a mixture of concern and resignation. "Stop dwelling on my brother. If Damon truly wanted you back, he would be taking every possible step to make it happen. But I don't see any genuine effort from him. I don't believe he is hiding anything or living in fear. He married Riya because that's what he wanted. I have lost faith in my brother."Asher's words land heavily on Kylie, adding another layer of complexity to the already intricate web of emotions she navigates. Understanding the gravity of Asher's disillusionment, she takes a deep breath and responds, acknowledging the painful truth he has brought to light."I can understand," Kylie murmurs, her voice carrying a mix of acceptance and resignation. She braces herself for the challenges that lie ahead, aware tha

"I will make a reservation for us. Now, go ahead and get some sleep. Rest well," he said, his tone gentle and caring. Kylie nodded appreciatively, feeling reassured as she settled back down on the bed, knowing that a promising and eventful evening awaited them.Asher's smile lingered on his face as he watched Kylie peacefully close her eyes and drift off to sleep. He felt a surge of happiness within him, knowing that she had agreed to go on a date with him, even though they hadn't explicitly labeled it as such. In his heart, he wanted to treat this as their first date, an opportunity to deepen their connection.Leaving the bedroom, Asher walked towards the door, his hand resting on the doorknob. He turned around for one last glance at Kylie, her form relaxed and serene, before finally stepping out and quietly closing the door behind him.With a skip in his step, Asher made his way downstairs, his smile still firmly in place. He headed towards the kitchen, his anticipation evident in e
My Husband’s Lover 135. Serious Consequences.
Asher's expression turned into a deep frown as he cast his gaze upon Sarah and Henry, who were both bursting into uncontrollable laughter. The sound of their mirth filled the air, and Asher couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance mixed with confusion."Why are you laughing?" Asher questioned, his voice laced with exasperation as he let out a heavy sigh. He could feel frustration welling up inside him, causing him to take a few steps towards the nearby counter. With a hint of resignation, he lowered himself onto the chair he had previously occupied."Did what?" Asher inquired, his tone tinged with a growl. The laughter had stirred his ire, and he was eager to unravel the cause behind their amusement.Sarah's laughter gradually subsided, allowing her to respond to Asher's inquiry, though her chuckles still lingered in her voice. "Asher, did you actually do that?" she asked, a mix of incredulity and amusement playing on her features. Asher's frown deepened, puzzled by Sarah's enigmati
My Husband’s Lover 136.
Asher's shoulders slumped as he absorbed Sarah's words, a wave of regret washing over him. He hadn't fully comprehended the potential ramifications of his impulsive actions until now. Guilt gnawed at his conscience, and he recognized the gravity of jeopardizing Kylie's professional prospects.Henry, his voice measured and concerned, added, "You know, Asher, resorting to violence is never the solution. We understand that you were defending Kylie, but there are other ways to handle these situations."Asher nodded slowly, his earlier defiance waning in the face of their valid points. Regret and a sense of responsibility weighed heavily upon him. He realized that his actions, fueled by anger and protectiveness, had the potential to disrupt not only Kylie's project but also their own professional relationships."You're right," Asher finally admitted, his voice laced with remorse. "I let my anger get the best of me, and now we're all in a difficult position. I should have found a better way
