Chapter 25 The Newlyweds

Author: VERARI
"Mr.—"

Asher pressed his thumb gently against her lips, silencing her. "Shh," he murmured, his voice deep and low. "You're my wife now. Don't call me sir or Mr. Smith anymore. And you don't have to be so formal with me."

Laura's heart leapt violently in her chest as his face drew closer, his breath brushing against her skin. Suddenly, she stumbled forward, clutching the front of his shirt for balance.

"I… I feel dizzy," Laura lied. She just wanted to avoid consummating the marriage with Asher tonight.

It was true that she was now Asher Smith's legitimate wife, and she had the obligation to serve her husband. However, Laura was truly not ready!

    "Sir..." Laura's gaze dropped to the floor the moment she saw him.The memories from last night came flooding back. A wave of scorching embarrassment washed over her. How could she have acted like that? So desperate for his touch, so completely undone by the pleasure he gave her."I asked you a question," Asher repeated, his voice low. "What are you doing here?

One hand slid up her back, over the fabric of her dress, feeling the delicate shape of her spine."Who is the fool who dares to give my wife orders?" His voice was softer now, a dangerous purr.Just when he had been aching for her, here she was, delivered to him. He was i

    Ariana stood in front of Asher with unexpected shock. She felt hurt that her brother had hidden something important from her. How could Asher get married without telling her?"How long have you been here?" Asher asked, trying to hide his surprise."Answer my question first, when and who are you marrying? Am I not important to you that you don't want to share your wedding plans with me?" Ariana's voice rose with emotion."Sit down first." Asher walked past Ariana and sat down casually in his big chair.This made Ariana even more disappointed, feeling dismissed and ignored by her brother. Asher's attitude was too indifferent towards her.With long strides, Ariana quickly pulled up a chair and sat facing him, staring sharply at her younger brother."Why didn't you tell me you were getting married?!" Ariana demanded an answer from her brother again."It's not that I didn't want to tell you. But I only planned this wedding a few days ago. I was going to let you know after the prepara

    "Get in the car right now, Miss Laura Wilson. You don't want to mess up the important meeting after this, do you?"

Noah looked at Asher pleadingly.Meanwhile, from the other direction, Nora came running, lifting her gown to approach them. "Noah!
