Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 75 That afternoon, Matt Ford moved the CEO's laptop, along with contracts, reports, proposals and project documents needed for the next few days, into Thalia's hospital room. He even arranged for a desk and chair to be set up.

Although Thalia had hired a private nurse, Asher insisted on personally taking care of her at the hospital.

In truth, there wasn't much for Asher to do. Nurses handled the medications and IV treatments, a housekeeper prepared meals, and the nurse aide managed cleaning and other basic needs.

But despite being incredibly busy, Asher constantly found ways to be useful.

When Thalia had merely mentioned that he had made soup for Grace-even though he hadn't actually made it- she was clearly bothered. To cheer her up, Asher promised he would make tthe next morning to go hand prepare homemade soup for her himself.

When the housekeeper brought food, Asher insisted on arranging it on the bedside table and feeding Thalia bite by bite.

Thalia smiled with gentle exasperation. "I'm not a child, darling. I can feed myself perfectly well." "Absolutely not. You've an IV in your hand-it's far too awkward for you." After meals, when Thalia needed to take her medicine, Asher poured water for her and supervised her taking it.

He even insisted on peeling or slicing any fruit she wanted to eat.

Thalia laughed, glancing at the pile of documents on his desk. "Aren't you dreadfully busy, my love?" "Never too busy to properly care for the most precious person in my life," he replied warmly.

The nurse aide smiled at the scene. “Miss Winters, your husband absolutely adores you." Thalia's cheeks flushed pink, her ears turning red, but she didn't correct the nurse aide.

After the nurse aide left, Asher looked up from his desk, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "So you're acceptingas your husband now, are you?" Thalia blinked playfully at him. "Didn't you say I'd be your wife sooner or later? I'm not planning to run, A TO Chapter 75 and I couldn't escape you anyway, so I might as well accept my fate, mightn't I?" The man's lips curved into a smile. "That's much better, my love." Under Asher's attentive care, Thalia recovered quickly and was discharged from hospital.

Asher had finally completed a challenging project and now had sfree time. He planned to take Thalia on a holiday to help her relax.

The last the'd taken her to see the meteor shower, Grace had interfered and ruined their enjoyment. After that, his grandmother had made Thalia uncomfortable at the family dinner. Asher felt guilty and wanted to use this trip to strengthen their relationship.

He asked Thalia for her preferences, and as luck would have it, she had just received verdicts on scases while others were waiting for court dates, giving her three or four days of free time. She agreed to go on the trip with him.

Due to Thalia's limited availability, they decided against traveling far.

Their destination was Annecy, often called "the Venice of the Alps," nestled at the foot of the Alpine mountains beside the stunning Lake Annecy in France.

Thalia had chosen the location, having wanted to visit for the past two years but always being too busy with various matters.

When Drake Ashcroft received a call from his friend James, he had just finished a meeting.

"James, what's up?" Drake asked as he walked toward his office.

James replied: "Dude, guess who I just saw?" "Who?" James sounded quite excited. "Take a guess, man." Drake responded impatiently: "Not in the mood for guessing games. I'm swamped. If it's nothing important, I gotta go." Previously, Drake and James had been similar types-focused on eating, drinking, and entertainment, 13:13 Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Chapter 75 carelessly spending their family fortunes.

After Ashcroft Capital faced a crisis, Drake had becmore restrained, taking a serious interest in the company's affairs and seeking investments everywhere.

After learning of Thalia's true identity as an heiress, Drake regretted his past actions even more.

Now he had adopted the demeanor of a proper business executive, no longer spending his days in idleness. His contact with James had diminished significantly.

James laughed mockingly. "You'd never guess-I just saw your ex-girlfriend Thalia Winters." Drake stopped in his tracks.

He had reached his office door but didn't move to open it.

James paused, then continued: "And her boy that Blackwood heir. They look super happy together, really into each other-they were even holding hands while walking." Drake remained silent for a moment.

His breathing intensified, his voice becoming tense and hoarse. "Where?" "In Annecy, France. You know, that cute little town by the lake at the foot of the Alps." Thalia had arranged their accommodation for this trip.

The medieval old town (Vieille Ville) of Annecy wasn't overrun with large hotels, featuring instead charming boutique accommodations and guesthouses.

The guesthouse Thalia booked was in an exquisite location with windows offering breathtaking views of the snow-capped Alps across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Annecy.

It was winter in Annecy, but the town was still bustling with tourists drawn to its fairytale-like beauty- cobblestone streets, picturesque canals, and the magnificent 12th-century Château d'Annecy overlooking the old town.

On their first day, exhausted from travel, Thalia and Asher didn't venture out but stayed in their cozy room watching films.

Thalia turned on the television and selected a classic romance film-"Atonement” starring James McAvoy Chapter 75 and Keira Knightley.

The room was comfortably warm, the lighting soft and dim, creating an intimate atmosphere.

Thalia curled against Asher's chest, nestled in his arms as they were engrossed in the film. Although she knew it was a tragedy, Thalia couldn't help but shed tears at the ending.

Her eyes reddened, her voice choked with emotion. "It's truly heartbreaking, isn't it? Cecilia and Robbie foved each No. other so deeply, yet they lost years together because of Briony's lie. They never even saw each other again."

Thalia sighed, indignantly adding: m "Atonement? How could Briony Briony possibly atone for this? Her sin can never be redeemed. They're both gone-they can never be together again." Asher gently ran his fingers through her hair, offering comfort. "Perhaps they found each other in another world, my love." Outside, heavy snow began to fall.

Annecy, situated in the foothills of the Alps, was transformed into a winter wonderland as thick snowflakes drifted down, blanketing the medieval town in pristine white.

Asher kissed Thalia's forehead tenderly. "Look, darling, it's snowing." Thalia was still immersed in the film, her mood downcast.

Asher drew her closer, moving his face until their noses touched. With boundless tenderness he whispered: "My sweet girl, don't cry anymore. If your eyes are puffy tomorrow, how will you look in our photographs of beautiful Annecy?" Thalia sniffled, giving him an amused glance that was half exasperation, half adoration.

What a peculiar way to comfort someone.

Yet his words made practical sense-she did want to capture beautiful memories of their trip.

Swollen, red eyes would hardly photograph well.

Thalia took his advice and gradually composed herself, drying her tears.

Asher gently wiped away the wetness on her cheeks with his thumb. "Such a good girl deserves a reward, doesn't she?" Chapter 75 He extended his hand, revealing a sweet in his palm.

Thalia spoke with a slightly stuffy nose. "You're treatinglike a child again." Asher smiled indulgently, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You are my child-my darling, my precious love." Thalia took the sweet from his palm, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

It was her favorite peach flavor.

After Asher's comforting and finishing the sweet, Thalia's mood improved considerably.

"Feeling better now, my love?" he asked, his voice slightly husky as he gazed into her eyes.

Thalia responded with a soft "Mmm," her eyes meeting his.

Asher leaned closer, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered: "Now that I've cheered up my beautiful girl, perhaps I deserve a little reward of my own?" ♡(1) mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
