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

Chapter 776

Back in the Maybach, Armond noticed Ashton’s presence and took it as his cue to leave. He drove off with Nora and Linda.

Then, Ashton got off his car and walked towards me. Against the headlights, it made his tall and lean built more prominent. This gave me butterflies in my stomach.

While wearing his signature smile, he pulled me into a deep embrace. “Scarlett, that was amazing. Your words just now must’ve really got through him.”

I chuckled lightly while teasing, “It’s not right to eavesdrop on conversations.”

“Oh? Was that eavesdropping? Surely you must have noticed me.”

I pouted childishly. “That’s still eavesdropping!” While saying that, Ashton had draped his coat over my shoulders to shield me from the chilly September weather. Then, he led me to his car.

 

Seeing his familiar back lifted my spirits; I felt whole again.

Apparently in a good mood, he reminded chirpily, “Next time, inform me before you go anywhere. It’s dangerous to be out alone.”

 

I sat down in the passenger seat before replying, “I need my own space as well!”

“I only need you to inform me. I will not restrict your movement or anything.”

“It’s the same either way!” I shut my eyes without giving him a chance to reply.

Helpless, he blanketed his coat on me and pulled me into a tight embrace. He had clearly ignored Joseph’s presence.
