Chapter 228
“Yes, we broke up.” Asher didn’t deny it.
He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
Edith’s expression immediately turned cold. “Are you crazy? How dare you offend Adair! Asher. What do you want? It’s your fortune to be able to marry her. How dare you break up?”
Originally, she was still proud of her son’s engagement to the Balslev family…
She had only been complacent for a while, but Asher had already turned the situation into this.
Asher said, “It’s my business whether to break up. I don’t even have the freedom to break up?”
“Aren’t you offending the Balslev family? Have you thought about the consequences?” Edith asked.
“What I have has nothing to do with the Linde family,” said Asher
“What do you mean?” Edith frowned. “Asher, have you grown up now? Can you be where you are today without the Linde family? Don’t forget that I was the one who brought you back when you were at your wits‘ end.”
“Didn’t you bring me back to work for you to make use of me? Aren’t you quite disappointed that I didn’t manage to hook up with Evelyn? Everything about the Linde family has nothing to do with me. You were the one who said it, right?”
Edith did not expect him to say something like that.
Although she did think so, she felt very disappointed when he said all this now.
Seeing that she was angry, Asher said, “The matter between me and Adair has nothing to do with you. No matter how I deal with it, it’s my business. I just came back and I’m exhausted. I’ll go rest first.”
After that, Asher went upstairs.
Edith looked at his arrogant appearance and her expression darkened.
She could not accept the fact that he had suddenly become like this. After all, he used to be obedient.
Asher took a shower in his room and tidied up. Then, there was a knock on the door.
Dana appeared at the door. “Asher.”
“What are you doing here?” He glanced at Dana with an indifferent attitude.
Dana said, “Don’t make Mommy angry. She only wants you and Adair to be fine.”
“Adair called her?” Asher asked.
“How did you know that?” Dana was surprised.
Asher chuckled. “Ask her not to get involved in the Balslev family’s matters. I know what’s going on between me and Adair.”
Dana saw that Asher had made up his mind and nodded. “Alrigh I’ll talk to Mom.”
Dana trusted Asher.

Adair was still at home.
Edith called her.
Seeing that Asher even dared to go against his mother’s wishes, Adair felt he was simply crazy.
She said, “Is he sure that I won’t find trouble with him? If he’s like this, don’t come to me if he encounters any problems in
the future.”
“Adair,” Edith said, “He was just muddle–headed for a moment. Please don’t hold it against him. Don’t be angry with him either.”
“It’s not that I want to be angry with him,” Adair said, “It’s because he doesn’t care about me because of another woman. Anyway, if he doesn’t come to apologize, he doesn’t have to come to me again.”
With that, Adair hung up.
Edith saw how cold she was and thought of Asher. She did not know what to say.
Edith had no choice buteo go to the hospital.
She saw Daphne.
When she saw Edith, Daphne was also very polite. “Hello, Edith
Edith stood at the side and sized her up. “What do you want before you can let Asher off?”
Hearing Edith’s words, Daphne was a little surprised. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“You don’t know?” Edith said, “When you were in school, you always pestered him. Now that things have come to this, you two are no longer on the same level. Do you have to pester my son?”
Edith was full of disdain when speaking to her.
Seeing that, Daphne frowned. “I heard that you were just an ordinary person back then. Your family background wasn’t good either. After marrying Mr. Jefferson Blackwood, you didn’t have a good life. You only married the Linde family after getting a divorce and changed your fate.”
Edith said, “So what?”
“You’re divorced and have children. If you can marry into a rich family, why can’t I? Besides, Asher has the same starting point as me. I don’t think I’m inferior to him,” said Daphne.
“Same starting point?” Edith said, “You can’t even find a job after offending people everywhere? Asher wouldn’t have lost his job if it weren’t for you. If I didn’t bring him back to the Linde family, he wouldn’t be where he is today.”
Daphne pursed her lips and said, “I offended many people because of him. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have offended so many people, let alone targeted by Miss Kensington.
“I will marry Asher. He loves me very much. If you’re dissatisfied with me, I’m sorry. But there is nothing I can do about it.” “Marry him?” Edith said, “You wish! Do you think he will like you? You should know how much he hates you.”
Daphne said, “I’m probably the person who loves him the most. The person he hates should be you.”
During the years Daphne had been with Asher, she knew how disappointed he was in his mother.
Every time his mother was mentioned, he was unwilling to say anything.

If not for the fact that he had no other choice, he would not have come to the Linde family.
Edith said, “I gave birth to him. Why would he hate me?”
“Sometimes, it’s better not to give birth. After you gave birth to him, you only made him suffer. You didn’t care about him at all. If I were you, who could ignore your child and not care about him after giving birth to him, I would be too embarrassed to stand here and say this.”
Daphne’s words were very sharp.
Edith’s expression darkened.
Asher was standing at the door as they spoke.
Daphne’s words moved him.
‘She is probably the only person in the world who can understand me,’ he thought.
Asher walked in and said to Edith, who was not supposed to be in the ward, “What are you doing here?”
Edith turned around and looked at him. “Since you don’t want to coax Adair, I’m here to see her. Asher… If you want her to be fine, break up with her. Otherwise… I can’t guarantee that nothing will happen to her.”
She did not believe that she could not control her son.
After warning Asher, Edith walked out.
Asher’s gaze landed on Daphne.
Daphne said, “I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again. I should have explained to your mother that we weren’t together.”
Asher’s voice was very gentle. “After Christmas, you can return to the company to work.”
Daphne said, “Aren’t you afraid of your mother…”
“Are you afraid?” Asher looked at Daphne curiously.
Daphne said firmly, “I’m not afraid. As long as I’m by your side, I don’t care what happens.”
She was not afraid of anything other than Asher would chase her away.
She was not afraid of danger. She only didn’t want to be poor. She didn’t want to always live at the bottom and not see any hope.
Asher told Daphne, “It’s good that you’re not afraid. The doctor said your body is fine and you can be discharged.”
Because she didn’t buy tickets to go home, Daphne would stay at Starfield City during Christmas.
She stayed at the house where she and Asher had lived.
Asher did not return to the Linde family’s house either.
Edith didn’t like him recently, so he
uldn’t be bothered to go back.
Other than Daphne, there were no other people who welcomed him.
After going round and round, Asher suddenly realized that only Daphne could understand him.
