Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 48  New Family Member - 2 (EDITED)

Upon witnessing the sincere, affectionate gaze of the enchanting, mature woman, Asher's mind grew peaceful and serene. He understood the responsibilities well.

Soon after, Asher heard his mom speak again.

"Right. Sweetie, it seems like we need to arrange a visit to the orphanage for adoption. Asher, you should prepare, and we'll drive off whenever you're ready. How does that sound, hmm?" Aria mentioned it with excitement.

Asher just nodded with a gentle smile playing on his lips before he uttered his response.

"Of course! It's the most wonderful thing I've heard in the morning. Let us leave after finishing up the preparations, shall we?" He agreed with a grin.

Hence, it wasn't long before the pair of mother and son had made their way to the entrance of the luxurious Blake Mansion, taking the sporty vehicle to the orphanage, where a little angel waited for them.

Soon, the exquisite, expensive vehicle strolled at a relaxing pace while being driven. Inside, a handsome young man and a beautiful, mature woman chatted, filled with excited expressions at the prospect of taking in a little, pure existence into their new family.

While chatting and arriving closer, a wide-open gate was already visible, showing a nice and exquisite landscape and garden.

Near the spacious playground, kids played; they were having a good time, running and laughing carefree.

Soon, the vehicle advanced closer to the destination location. Aria then shifted her gaze to Asher and mentioned something.

Once the vehicle came to a gradual stop at the main entrance, Asher and Aria stepped out, receiving a couple of glances from various individuals nearby, both young and old.

The attractive pair made everyone marvel and awe upon witnessing their stunning presence.

After arriving, Aria's presence shone brighter, attracting the majority of the individuals and their gazes as they couldn't stop admiring her beauty.

As she was the current ruler of their country, Aria was recognizable at first sight. Hence, her visit to the orphanage caused a commotion. However, they remained respectful, showing appropriate etiquette and conduct.

The alluring, mature woman wore a revealing dress that hugged her figure, accentuating her attractive hourglass shape. Her vibrant hair flowed behind her back, adding charm and poise to her presence. Her purple eyes sparkled as she smiled, emanating her positive, affectionate demeanor and aura.

Overall, she exuded power, beauty, and grace at the same time, leaving everyone dazzled and in a trance of sorts. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Aria strode inside the orphanage with Asher accompanying her with confidence, while a couple of caretakers were standing nearby, waiting with respect and watching her.

Soon, Asher found Eleanor Gracefield coming over in a hurry. She bowed while greeting, "Madame Aria. Young Master! I apologize for not being able to receive both of you, but the situation earlier caused me to not notice your arrival and presence."

"It's fine. There is no issue. No formalities are needed for today. So, let us proceed, okay?" Aria explained with grace and waved her hand.

"Yes, please follow me!" Eleanor nodded, gesturing with her hand. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Asher and remembered the events on the rooftop, but she calmed herself and led them.

Aria caught her reaction and then smiled at Asher, who just shrugged his shoulders with a grin.

Afterwards, the trio moved forward, entering the main building and walking through the corridor.

As the three arrived in front of the room and Eleanor opened the door, they noticed the small, delicate form of the young girl playing on her bed.

"Lily, there is someone here to see you," Eleanor called out to the little girl.

Lily tilted her head, observing their unexpected visitors, her eyes lingering on the gorgeous, mature lady who stood beside Asher, appearing to be of unparalleled beauty.

As her eyes landed on the tall, handsome young man, who was quite familiar and kind to her, a sense of relief and joy filled her little body. She jumped and hopped toward him without wasting a second, with her little body rushing to envelop Asher in a tight embrace. "Big Brother!"

Asher smiled at her reaction and walked closer, kneeling on one knee, returning her sweet gesture, and giving the innocent, adorable kid a soft embrace that sent waves of warmth and bliss throughout her entire being.

"Hi, Lily. Miss me?" Asher asked in a soft voice with a smile.

"Uh-huh! Lily missed you a lot." She pouted like an adorable cat and responded, conveying her thoughts and emotions.

Meanwhile, Aria approached, watching the duo as she recognized the bond they shared and how much love the little girl had for Asher.

"Fufu, so this is the little girl you told me about, baby?" She smiled.

Eleanor, in the background, noticed her mischievous attitude and soon realized their intention.

The child then noticed the mature lady staring at her with a gentle, warm expression. After looking around her with curiosity, she turned and locked her eyes on those purple orbs.

"Lily, this woman here is my mother, whom I told you about and is someone I love and care about a lot." Asher clarified and then expressed his affection for Aria.

"Hi, Lily! I am Aria; nice to meet you!" The elegant, purple-eyed, mature woman greeted the kid with kindness.

"Wow!! Aunt Aria, you are so beautiful! It's the first time Lily has seen such pretty eyes!" The little girl spoke in a voice full of wonder and exclaimed with surprise.

'Beautiful is an understatement! Her mesmerizing beauty can even charm a god from heaven to earth. To capture the hearts of not one or two but an endless amount, no wonder she's the ruler of an entire country. A dazzling existence!' Eleanor gazed at the beauty of Aria Blake with reverence and wonder.

"Aww, you are such a cutie. Just call me 'Mom' instead. Lily can come and stay with me and Big Brother starting today. Isn't it nice to live with a beautiful mother, a handsome brother, and more loving relatives?" Aria suggested and exclaimed, bringing Lily into her arms.

Eleanor stared in admiration at the serene aura Aria was emitting in front of the little child, noticing the amazing care and adoration of motherhood that appeared.

Asher also smiled with delight upon looking at them. He was relieved to see Lily getting along with his mother and agreed to what Aria said.

She looked confused, but her expression soon turned into a sad one. "Lily doesn't have a mom; Aunt Eleanor is the one who is close, caring, and protects me." She sniffed.

Listening to the sadness and lamentation present within her sweet voice, Eleanor couldn't help but get teary-eyed, feeling empathetic towards the child.

Meanwhile, Aria wiped her tears. "Oh, dear Lily, from today onwards, I will be your mom, and you can call me that. Okay, my cute daughter~" she said as she cradled her, comforting and soothing Lily.

Lily raised her eyes to look at the elegant, stunning purple eyes, and her blue orbs lit up in happiness and delight.

"Yay! Lily has a mommy now!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her tiny arms around Aria's delicate neck while smiling and nodding with a shyness that left everyone enchanted.

"Fufu, come here, Asher. Join us in a family hug. Family should be closer and bond like this." She spoke to him while inviting him.

Hearing her words and looking at the adorable and happy face, Asher gave an awkward chuckle but moved closer and brought his hand, placing it on their shoulders, as if wrapping them inside his big, loving hands.

Then he leaned near her ear and whispered, "Thank you, mom."

Aria felt a hot sensation on her neck due to his warm breath, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and whispered back, "Anything for you, my son."

Soon, the trio separated and stood up, and then three of them followed Eleanor to her office and finished the paperwork.

After completing the adoption process, Aria walked out of the orphanage with Lily holding her hand.

"So, how do you feel about being adopted by us?"

"I am happy. Lily gets to have a mom and a big brother."

"Good. From now on, you will be living with us. We will take care of you and make sure you are happy."

"For real?"

"Yes, dear. You are our family now."

"Thank you, mommy!"
