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

Chapter 797

He hummed a response, and his magnetic voice drawled, “I’ll be waiting!”

I grinned. The memory of what happened at the base today surfaced, and I paused before saying, “Ashton, have you heard anything from your investigation into the stolen machines?”

He was stunned by my sudden change in topic and replied, “There hasn’t been much news for now. What’s wrong? Did you find anything?”

I nodded. “It’s one of the walls at the base. A normal cement wall won’t produce an echo when knocked – only fake walls will. However, the back wall of the base has an echo. I studied it today and noticed that the outer part was about three feet wide. Normal walls aren’t that wide.”

He was silent for a moment before replying, “You stay out of this matter from now on. Let Joseph handle it. You should just focus on the project in Lavelian Village since the Fuller Corporation will finish it soon and arrange for a conference as soon as possible.”

I knew he was worried about my safety, so I did not say anything else. At this moment, someone knocked on my door; it was probably Nora.

 

I hung up the call and went to open the door. Nora was carrying several bags in her hand. When she saw me, she said, ‘I knew you would be at the hotel. I just came from exploring the food street and bought a bunch of tasty snacks. You’ll be sure to love them!”

I lowered my head and glanced at the bags. I reached out to receive them and said with a smile, “You went all on your own?”

 

She nodded and placed the items down. She noticed that something was off about me and asked with a frown, “Have you been crying?”
