The seemingly sleeping girl pouted her lips, made a soft sound, and clutched Asher’s shirt sleeve, refusing

to let go.

“Are you awake?” Asher leaned down slightly, his hands braced on either side of Thalia, his eyes lowered

as he looked at her.

“Dri…” Thalia’s eyes remained closed as her lips moved, softly uttering a syllable. “Dri…”

“Drake?” Asher’s eyes narrowed sharply, his deep gaze darkening dangerously, a cold glint appearing in their depths.

Drake Ashcroft?

Was she actually calling Drake’s name while drunk?

In the next moment, the girl’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she restlessly turned over on the bed, burying her face in the pillow and murmuring in a wheedling tone: “Drink… I want some water to

drink…”

Asher: “…”

Drink?

So it wasn’t “Drake” but “Drink“?

Asher couldn’t help but laugh, the tension in him instantly releasing.

He moved closer again, his tone indulgent. “Lia, let me get you cleaned up first, then I’ll bring you some water, shall we?”
