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

Chapter 763

Ashton looked up unexpectedly and caught me staring. Panicking, I averted my gaze immediately. “What’s wrong?” I asked when he stared at me intently.

“Pick up the phone!”

“What?” I asked, feeling even more confused.

“Your phone!” Ashton reiterated as he closed the first aid kit with a slam.

I wrenched myself out of my reverie only to notice dully that my phone had been ringing for the past few minutes. It was Nora on the line, and she did not sound happy at all.

“Babe, what’s up with you? Why weren’t you picking up?”

 

I felt slightly embarrassed. “Oh, I had something on. What’s the matter? Are you here?”

“I’ve reached a long time ago. I’m at the hotel now, but I don’t know the exact location of your base. Why don’t you send someone over to pick me up?”

“What is it?” Ashton asked when he saw me staring at him.
