What is the meaning of the scene she is seeing right now? It wasn't the kiss she shared with Asher, but he saw Lariette walking casually with Asher in the flower garden.
Serena's current position is as a spectator watching this romantic scene. Lariette looked happy talking with Asher, but Asher looked usually flat, making Serena curious. Hasn't Lariette always said that Asher was really happy to marry her? Why does this scene show as if Asher is not focused on dating?
The scene was only shown for a few seconds. Returning to the real world when she kissed Asher, she accidentally made the nerves in her body immediately tense. Serena released her lips quickly while standing up straight.
The question now is what is the meaning of the scene she just saw? Why can she see Lariette's past memories just because she kissed Asher? Was it just an illusion? Is it because she's been tired and stressed lately?
Serena swallowed nervously while holding her lips which ultimately came into contact with the lips of an assassin. It felt very disgusting to kiss her sister's killer and her sister's husband. She felt very guilty because she didn't deserve to do it in the middle of Lariette's death day.
From Asher's side, he didn't comment on the kiss. He was still confident this time holding his sister-in-law's hand. "Are you okay?"
In Serena's heart, she really wanted to go crazy because her lips were kissed suddenly because of an accident and she could suddenly see past memories. Is this a gift from Lariette to solve this mysterious case? Serena was still curious about how he had the ability to see Lariette's past just by kissing.
"I'm fine," Serena answered, looking away.
Asher's eyes were fixed on the cunning woman who deliberately created this mess. "You see, right? I've kissed another woman, so I won't marry you."
The woman let out a devilish laugh. "You're such a bastard, Asher. Just because you kissed that woman, you immediately dumped me."
Asher locked his lips. Without further ado with the woman, he took Serena's hand and walked quickly into the bar. Serena was still curious whether Asher actually asked her here suddenly because he had an ulterior motive?
They occupied a two-person seat in the corner of the bar. Asher ordered two bottles of the most expensive wine in this executive class bar, making Serena's eyes widen and her mouth agape. Did Asher deliberately buy two bottles of wine so they would get drunk together and sleep with her at the hotel? For some reason, since she met Asher, who is very mysterious, negative thoughts kept popping up in her mind.
Moreover, if you look at Asher's facial expression, which is still flat even though they have just kissed, Serena is even more angry because Asher doesn't consider the kiss a mistake. Even though the kiss they actually had was an accident.
"Asher, thank you for inviting me to drink here with you. But, I can't stay long."
"Are you awkward because we kissed earlier?" Asher smiled, making Serena even more nervous, hiding her hands under the table.
"Aren't you angry that I kissed you suddenly?"
Asher was still smiling faintly, pouring a glass of wine for his sister-in-law. "It wasn't your fault earlier. Why am I angry?"
Serena raised her head nervously. "What do you mean?"
"It wasn't my fault either. But it was that bitch's fault that made us kiss suddenly."
"But, if Lariette saw it in person, she would definitely hate me for the rest of her life." Serena let out a weak breath.
"She will definitely forgive us." Asher lifted the glass while turning it clockwise.
"I still feel inappropriate for kissing you on the day she died."
"In essence, don't blame yourself for that kiss."
Staring at Asher's intense gaze, Serena became increasingly confused about Asher's true personality. Is it true that Asher is a real killer? From the past until now, her relationship with Asher was not very close, so she still didn't know Asher more deeply.
Is now the time for him to approach Asher to find out the truth behind Lariette's death? Does she really have to be close to Asher in order to solve all these mysteries? Is there no other way than kissing Asher? Why was Lariette gifted with this very strange ability?
"By the way, didn't you say you were busy? Why did you suddenly ask me to go to a boutique and a bar?" Serena decides she wants to have a closer relationship with Asher.
"Actually, today I have a blind date scheduled with that woman."
Hearing Asher's answer which matched her expectations, Serena narrowed her eyes. "So, you used me earlier so you could cancel the blind date?"
"Yes, I did deliberately invite you now so I could ruin the blind date my family had arranged."
Serena chuckled in annoyance while sipping her wine. "I knew there must be an ulterior motive for you suddenly being so nice to me."
"Just imagine! Is it appropriate for me to go on a blind date on the day my late wife died?"
"Yeah, if I were Lariette, I would definitely be hurt because you forgot about her." Serena folded her arms. "But, about the kiss earlier, wasn't the problem even worse?"
"Because you are Lariette's family. She will definitely forgive us. You must really know her character who always forgives anyone. Asher clenched his fists tightly. "Actually, since Lariette died, my family has forced me to marry a rich woman and have a child."
"But, why don't you want to do it?"
Asher raised the corners of his lips. "Because for me it's just a waste of my time. Moreover, all the women I meet are the same as that woman."
"Maybe I can recommend another woman who is suitable to be your wife." Serena took out her cellphone enthusiastically, but Asher held her tiny finger with an intense gaze.
"You don't have to bother finding another woman for me."
"But, weren't you forced to have a child?"
Asher slowly moved his lips closer to the red lips in front of him. His right thumb rubbed the lips gently, making the owner of the lips break out in cold sweat.
"I want you to be my wife, Serena."
