Taming Asher Chapter 74 - New Gigs
Uncle Pete was seated right there in the living room. He looked tired and weary. "Gracie…how are you?” He gave me a wan smile when he saw me. From the clattering of dishes I could hear from the kitchen, I guess my mum was back.“Is everything okay?" I was genuinely surprised to see him. He was the last person I was expecting around. “Yeah. My team and I just had a contract somewhere around this morning, so I decided to stop by before leaving.”"Oh.” I didn't know what to say because I didn't feel like asking about his stupid wife and daughter."Grace, I'm really sorry for the way things turned out.” He said after a moment of awkward silence, and I made a move to go to the kitchen. "I actually decided to stop by to apologize for the way things turned out. I'm really sorry.”What was I supposed to say? You don't have to worry, it's not your fault. You've been a great uncle. I was about to say what I'd just rehearsed in my head when my mum emerged from the kitchen with a breakfast tra
Taming Asher Chapter 73 - In the Midst of the Heat
They all locked eyes on me like I was a stranger or weirdo. Yeah, speaking of weird, I guess my dressing wasn't far from it. My sweater and joggers. If only Asher didn't have a similar thing on.I took a meek bow and stepped back. “I'm sorry, I think I'll just wait outside." I reached for the door knob immediately.“Come on. Come say hi to my dad." Asher implored.I turned around slowly with a bashful smile. “Maybe next time, Ash." "Hey, don't be silly. Why not?” Okay. I guess there was no point hurting his feelings over dumb reasons. I went to his dad's bedside. I remember seeing him the first time I walked Summer to school, when she had made me buy cotton candy for her. Poor man. He must have thought he was seeing his daughter that day. Little wonder he had seemed a bit off. “Hi, I'm Grace. Nice to meet you sir.”"How are you, dear? You're a very beautiful girl. You remind me of my daughter." I managed a chuckle as I exchanged looks with Asher. “I hope you have a speedy recovery
Taming Asher Chapter 72 - The VIP Ward
"It's not a very serious accident though. He just had faulty brakes and slammed his head against the steering, that's all. Asides that, he is fine.” My mum said. "Some women has rushed to the hospital this morning, to check on him and give him breakfast. When Bennie wakes, help him find his way home. I doubt he might be familiar with the routes." My mum went on, retying her hair with an old scrunch in a quick motion. "Tell him to get some extra clothes for his dad. He shouldn't worry about food.”I was in a daze as I watched my mum leave. I really hoped his dad was alright as she said. Asher had sworn to die, if he dared lose anyone dear to him again. It was totally going to break him, should that happen.Well, Asher didn't wake up until about an hour later. By then, my siblings had all gone to school, including Summer. I was done with the morning chores and about to take a shower, when Asher finally woke up. It was past nine already.“Hey…” he mumbled from the pillow while I was sor
Taming Asher Chapter 71 - From Night Till Dawn
I was glad I had changed into my sweater and joggers earlier, while Asher parked his car. So now, I simply put on my thick pair of rainbow coloured socks, for cold’s sake, and hopped on the bed, ready to sleep. I pulled my duvet up, only for Cassie to shove it off my face."What?!” I was angry."Are you really going to bed already?” she asked calmly."Is there a problem?”She gestured at my phone. "Why have you been ignoring your call?”I jerked up immediately. Right. I had muted it earlier in church and had forgotten to unmute it since then. My heart raced when I saw Uncle Pete's name on the screen. Was there a problem? I looked up at the time. It was past eleven. It should be midnight already in Detroit.“Uncle Pete?”When I heard a snort in response, I knew it wasn't Uncle Pete. “Regan?" “Local champ. I see you blocked my number. Why?" Really? Was the idiot really asking?“Excuse me, Reg. Did you smoke some pot or are you high on drugs?" “Send me your email. I don't need access
Taming Asher Chapter 70 - A Whole Week
Grace's POV So I walked away from Alex, only to turn around and face Asher. I was surprised to see him standing a few metres away. Had he been watching us? What if he had been eavesdropping?He saw me and our gaze met. I looked away immediately because my heart was racing again.Next thing was, he started walking up to me. I glanced around briefly for my siblings, but they were nowhere in sight.Before I knew what was happening, Asher pulled me into a hug. I was too surprised to even pull back or withdraw. And sincerely, I think I was beginning to fall in love with Asher's hugs. I loved his warmth and cologne. And maybe what I needed at the moment was a real hug. So I just stayed still, while he patted my back fondly.“What's up with you?" I murmured. “You were eavesdropping, right?" He chuckled, then let go of me. “Not really, I could just hear tidbits. I was worried. Everyone's waiting in the car, so I couldn't just leave you alone with him.”"What? They're waiting in the car? Are
Taming Asher Chapter 69 - Lovers Pine Grove
Cassie cleared her throat. “Well, you have to promise me first that you won't breathe a word about this to her.”"Sure, why would I?”"Pinky swear?”Well, after the pinky swear ceremony, she seemed ready to speak, but unfortunately, Grace burst into the room that moment.We all looked up at her as she stepped in, slamming the door hard.“You asked her?" Faith and Cassie chorused. “Is that why she's reacting that way?" she flared. “Even Summer wouldn't play dumb and ignorant about it. Yet she expects me to act that way?" “If you don't have the money, yeah." Cassie said quietly and Faith giggled.I wondered what exactly they were referring to. Sounded like a kind of bad financial situation.“Guys, I'm returning to Michigan before the end of this week." Grace blurted to my surprise.“You've got a place to stay?" Cassie asked.She nodded. “Yeah. I'd just put up a proposal to Suzella's mum. I wouldn't be much of a burden to them. Their place has always been a home to me afterall. So it w
Taming Asher Chapter 38 - About to be Stewed
Grace's POV I and Asher exchanged nervous glances. Now, he would see exactly what I had been talking about.Without being told, I slipped back to my previous hiding spot at the back seat. Heck, I just hoped she wasn’t heading straight here.The moment I was sure Asher had stepped out of the car, I
Taming Asher Chapter 37 - New Shades of Love
Asher’s POVEarlier that afternoon, after I handed the phone to Suzella and watched her hurry away, I shook my head in wonder at her eccentric manner. Lol.But when I turned around, I found myself face to face with Grace’s uncle.I froze for a moment.Nobody ever likes to see their girl hurt. I rem
Taming Asher Chapter 36 - Tales of My Life
Apparently, Aunt Cecil had made up her mind. She never wanted me here. In that case, they could at least give me my money before I left. I found them in the kitchen, cracking jokes and preparing dinner. I cleared my throat, trying to steady my voice. “If I’m really leaving, then Regan has to give
Taming Asher Chapter 35 - The Toughest Sentence
Grace's POV I opened my eyes to find myself on the same bed again. It all felt like a stupid dream. My head throbbed as though I was being hit with a hammer as I tried to sit up. “Hey, relax." One of the nurses beside me, urged. "You'll be discharged in less than an hour. I've already administere
