Chapter 872: Jared Wants Asher to Divorce

Jared's face darkened with anger as he said coldly, "You can't keep avoiding seeing Mom. I have something to discuss with her too. Let's go in together."

Asher hesitated for a moment, then nodded after some thought. "I'll go with you. Even though she probably still doesn't want to talk to me, it's good if I can at least see her." Inside the room, Marie sat poised in a dark teal dress, simple yet elegant. She was stringing beads, her expression calm and composed.

Sophia, perched on a small chair, played with a handful of beads, her excitement bubbling over. "Mom, I want to string beads too! Let me try!"

Marie frowned slightly but let a faint smile tug at her lips. "You? String beads? You'll just waste them, scattering them everywhere and making someone clean up after you."

Asher's lips were pressed tightly together. His gaze lingered on Marie, a mix of longing and sorrow in his eyes.

He couldn't hold back and took a bold step forward. "Jewels, beads-anything you want, you'll have as much as you need. If you wanted the stars in the sky, I'd bring them down for you!"

Marie's eyes flickered at his words, and her posture straightened. After a brief hesitation, she shifted her gaze back to the beads and gave a soft "Hmm."

Sophia, quick and nimble, jumped off her chair and dashed toward Asher, her small legs pumping as she threw herself into his arms.

The little bundle of energy looked up at him, her bright eyes sparkling. Mimicking his tone, she declared, "Jewels, as many as I want!" Then, in a softer, pleading voice, she added, "Daddy, lift me up!"

Asher felt a wave of warmth fill his heart, like tasting a sweet candy. Hugging Sophia tightly, he felt comforted.

Marie glanced sideways at the scene. A trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes, but her hands kept working.
