Chapter 72
Asher had just returned home when his grandmother sent him to the study to speak with his father. After their conversation, he’d barely stepped out of the elevator when he overheard his grandmother imperiously ordering Thalia to serve the food.
He strode over, his tone deliberately casual. “Grandmother, has the family fortune suddenly dwindled to
the point we can no longer afford household staff? Since when do we expect guests to serve meals?”
Seeing Asher come downstairs, Lady Blackwood Sr. didn’t dare continue harassing Thalia. She set down
her teacup, her smile precisely calibrated. “I was merely seeing if Thalia would be properly obedient.”
Asher wasn’t having it. His tone deepened. “My Lia doesn’t need to be obedient. She only needs to be
happy.”
Lady Blackwood’s expression turned sour.
“Asher, are you actually criticizing your grandmother?”
It seemed Grace had been right–this Thalia Winters had indeed bewitched Asher. He was actually talking back to his grandmother for her sake.
Asher’s lips tightened, his handsome, chiseled features turning cold. The surrounding air seemed to fill with frost.
“I wouldn’t dare,” Asher replied coolly. “Grandmother, Lia is someone I’ve waited years for. I sincerely hope you won’t try to come between us. If Lia becomes unhappy and calls off our engagement, I’ll have no choice but to join a monastery.”
Thalia was startled by his words. She hadn’t expected Asher to defend her so boldly in front of his family, even pointing out that he had waited years for her, putting himself in such a humble position.
Thalia’s heart fluttered. The frustration she’d felt from the old lady’s difficult behavior evaporated instantly, replaced by warmth that felt like being wrapped in the softest cashmere.
His words infuriated the old lady considerably.
“You… this is preposterous! What utter nonsense are you speaking?”
When agitated, she would experience her old health problem–heart palpitations.

Grace supported Lady Blackwood, anxiously helping her calm down. “Grandmother, please don’t upset yourself.”
She kept her eyes downcast, concealing the jealousy within them.
Asher’s gaze was deep and dark as he glanced toward Grace, his eyes probing. “Have you been speaking
ill of Lia to my grandmother?”
Grace’s back stiffened. She swallowed nervously, her eyes flashing with panic. “I… I haven’t…”
