Chapter 113 Talking About Breaking Off The Engagement
Asher's hair was disheveled, and sweat was dripping from his temples.
He had also realized that although Albert might be a small-time hoodlum, he was quite skilled in a fight. Continuing to fight would only tarnish his own reputation.
Asher wiped away his sweat and glared at Elianna with bloodshot eyes. "We'll talk about this at home!"
Recalling what happened just now, Asher couldn't help but worry about Elianna.
"Ms. Gentry, would he make things difficult for you? Or should I drive you back to the Antequs Compound?"
Shaking her head, Elianna said, "No. I can't evade this all the time. This problem should be solved eventually, but I get you into trouble."
"Never mind, I didn't get injured anyway."
Albert said to Elianna while dusting the ash on his pants. "I will wait for you near your home, call me if you need."
Seeing Elianna want to refuse, Albert added, "Don't worry, Ms. Gentry, I won't let Asher see me. If you are all good after 30 minutes, I will leave."
After listening that, Elianna had only to express her gratitude. "Sorry to trouble you."
...
When Elianna returned home, she pushed the door open and found a mess.
Tables and chairs were overturned, and the vase she had carefully chosen lay shattered on the floor.
Asher was amidst the chaos, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Done saying goodbye to your adulterer! Are you willing to come back now?"
As Elianna walked around the overturned chairs and hung her bag on the coat rack, she entered slowly.
"Asher, let's talk about this."
"Talking about? We have nothing to talk about!"
"Let's have a conversation about breaking off our engagement."
"Breaking off our engagement?" Asher was taken aback.
In fact, he had already decided not to marry Elianna when he saw her getting out of Albert's car.
But the words that should have come from his mouth had already been spoken by Elianna, and everything felt out of order.
"You want to breaking off engagement?!" He exclaimed incredulously.
"That's right." Elianna agreed with conviction.
"But I need you to initiate it. If I do, the Gentry family won't agree, so it's better if you handle it. The reasons you give to our parents don't matter, but for appearances' sake, please choose a decent one for the public. It will save face for both families."
Her words were well-reasoned and showed that this was not a rash decision.
Asher circled around a few times, pointing his finger at her. "You want to do this so you can be with that thug! And now you want me to clean up your mess? You do have no shame!"
Elianna sighed, "If we don't break off our engagement, what do you suggest? Do you still want to continue this marriage?"
Asher was left speechless.
As a man, he couldn't tolerate Elianna humiliating him by having an affair.
However, after Elianna brought up the topic of breaking off engagement before him, he was flooded with mixed emotions.
He couldn't let her have the satisfaction of breaking up with him.
In such a breakup, the one who initiated it would always feel superior, while the one who was left behind would feel defeated.
Asher absolutely could not accept being left behind, especially not by Elianna, whom he had never regarded highly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
This role reversal would make him furious.
Elianna understood this aspect of Asher's personality, which were his arrogance and male chauvinism. He would never allow anyone, especially a woman, to challenge his authority.
Previously, when he suspected her of having an affair, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. So, there had been some room for maneuvering.
But today, he had witnessed her getting out of another man's car late at night.
The impact of that sight was self-evident.
He absolutely could not accept it.
So, Elianna chose to retreat in order to advance. Instead of begging to be let go, it was better for her to take a chance.
