Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: I Am Always Happy When I’m With You
After Asher walked out of the cultivation chamber and walked past other cultivation chambers, which had bright lights illuminating their exteriors, he finally went to the mansion.

Getting inside, He didn’t find anyone, while Lily seemed to be sleeping in her room, so Asher went to the garden to check. There, he found Olivia standing inside a wooden gazebo and looking up into the dark sky of the realm.

There were no clouds blocking the twinkling stars above as they shone brightly overhead, bathing everything around them in their soft glow. A gentle breeze carried through the air, carrying the scent of flowers mixed with moisture that cooled down the temperature of the surroundings slightly. The lush greenery reflected beautifully against the pale moonlight while adding more tranquility to the atmosphere. Everything felt at peace here in this moment.

Asher looked at her back profile and realized she seemed lost in thought, causing him to stop walking while he silently observed from behind, trying to read her mood. ‘Is she thinking about her past again? Sigh… She always does that whenever she is left alone. This woman really went through too much; I have to try to help her somehow.’

“Sigh…” Just then, Olivia let out another long sigh as she snapped out of her thoughts and continued observing everything within her field of view calmly.

This scene reminded Olivia of her encounter with Asher from years ago, which caused her heart to be at ease due to the affectionate feeling. She stood there, looking at everything while feeling the peacefulness of her current location.

The silence continued for a while, during which Olivia didn’t notice him approaching until Asher hugged her from behind and asked gently, “Hello, my lovely aunt. Why are you sad again? I want to only see a smile on your beautiful face, and you should know that even though the world might be against you, as long as I am with you, I will stand by you forever.”

Hearing the sudden voice speaking from behind caused Olivia to jolt awake, and she turned her head back immediately only to discover Asher hugging her tightly, his head resting on her shoulders as he gazed affectionately into her eyes.

“Ah… Asher!” Olivia let out a soft gasp at Asher’s sudden appearance next to her but then couldn’t help but sigh when she noticed the sincerity behind his words, as she felt happy that he was worried about her, and more importantly, she loved the warm feeling coming from Asher’s body.

She felt secure with him holding onto her firmly in his embrace. The comfort his arms provided allowed her to release all of her worries instantly as she smiled softly in response, leaning against his chest before replying softly, “Haha, silly little boy, I am fine; it is nothing you need to be worried about.”

“I know you better than anybody else. Don’t think you can fool me, Aunt Olivia.” Asher smiled at her before turning his attention towards what Olivia was looking at earlier on in the distance ahead.

A cool breeze brushed against their cheeks as they stayed silent, enjoying each other’s presence for several moments until Asher spoke again with his head on Olivia’s shoulder and shifted slightly on her back before tightening his grip on Olivia’s waist.

His voice sounded much calmer and clearer than usual when he continued talking after that brief pause, “Aunt Olivia, look at those stars above us; aren’t they beautiful?”

Olivia nodded briefly before turning in the direction Asher indicated. Seeing this scenery once more brought back many fond memories from her younger days when she was carefree and cheerful. She felt refreshed just seeing how breathtaking everything appeared before her very eyes as she breathed in the fresh air deeply into her lungs, letting out all her sadness from deep inside herself in order to enjoy herself thoroughly during this moment.

Suddenly, Asher reached out his hands, pointing towards one specific area where countless glittering lights shone brightly amidst the darkness, “Look at that star far away that shines the brightest of all. Isn’t it beautiful and mesmerizing? That star reminds me so much of you—beautiful yet so distant and out of reach. But no matter how far away you may appear in front of me, I will never hesitate to chase you regardless of what happens, because you are precious to me, just like the brightest star in this night sky.”

Asher’s sincere tone combined with tenderness, as if he were whispering something intimate within her ear, made her heart palpitate rapidly while goosebumps appeared upon her skin. However, when she listened closely to those words of affection, her mood improved considerably compared to earlier.

Olivia turned towards Asher, who still embraced her body tightly, and suddenly smiled lovingly towards him. Her gaze conveyed happiness towards his actions, while she replied gently in return, “Hahaha… You are quite a smooth in flattering woman with your silver tongue. When did you learn to do such things, my dear?”

Afterwards, she put her hand on Asher’s, caressing it gently while maintaining that warm expression before continuing, “However, I wish to say thank you, little Ash, for always caring so much about me.”

The gentle tone of her voice touched his heart deeply, and Asher tightened the grip of his hug while leaning forward so he could kiss lightly upon the cheek of his beloved aunt as he expressed his sincere love towards her wholeheartedly, “Aunt Olivia, I’ll do whatever is necessary to cheer you up and make you happy because I really adore you so much.”

Seeing his adorable side made Olivia giggle joyously and feel pleased as she said, “Little Ash, don’t worry, alright? I am always happy when I’m with you. Because there will always be someone by my side who genuinely cares about me and supports me no matter what, even if this world abandons me.”

These words came from the bottom of her heart and revealed her inner feelings towards him.

After that, both remained silent, savoring each other’s company in that beautiful scene.
