Either way, he would listen to her anyway.
And, what would make him hate her? If the duke didn't hate her knowing the same thing, then why would he?
"What does brother Ash call your father?"
Anne again came back to the topic but this question made Asher go silent before answering her.
"I didn't have a father."
"He is also in the sky, with your mother?"
"Yeah."
"I am sorry. Brother Ash must be feeling sad."
Asher couldn't help but smile when Miss Anne hugged him again, maybe trying to comfort him.
Asher hugged her back and both of them comfortably stayed close, comforting each other.
It's funny how she still had red eyes from crying but she was consoling the other who hadn't even cried a bit.
After some time, finally, she let go of Asher. And, with some more talking about how Anne was happy his brother accepted her, they ended their talk and Asher left the room.
