When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Looking at the two people in the kitchen, I chirped, “Hey guys, can I help with anything?”

“No, no, no,” Nora replied with a grin. “As I said, you’re a patient today. Just have a good rest and don’t come in here. The kitchen is greasy as hell. Shoo, shoo!”

Faced with her rejection, I looked to Armond instead. “Mr. Murphy, why don’t you go ahead with your work? I can help Nora in the kitchen.”

At that, Nora turned to Armond in question. “Are you going to discuss work later?”

Armond’s eyes darted to Ashton who was seated at the dining table and he shook his head. “No. Why?”

I was startled to hear his answer. Then, why did Ashton come here? For the free food?

Nora waggled her brows at me and grinned. “Go ahead and rest. Everything in the kitchen is under control and lunch will be ready in a bit.”

I flicked my eyes to Ashton, but still decided to go into the kitchen after some consideration. Padding over to the spot next to Nora, I put on a pitiful expression and whined, “I know you care about me and I’m really grateful for that. So don’t chase me away, okay? I want to stay here to help you!”
