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

Leedon started the car engine and looked at Ashton before turning to me. “My wife always throws a fit at me, but after giving her gifts and flowers as an apology, she would forgive me and prepare food that I like to eat.”

He was grinning widely when he spoke of his wife. Thus, I couldn’t help but say, “Your wife must’ve been living a blissful life.”

Looking at me, he replied, “Aren’t you too? Mr. Fuller is willing to humble himself and come fetch you off work. He didn’t get mad even when you left him there.”

I smiled. “He did something wrong.”

The man replied, “That’s how couples interact when living together. My wife always got mad at me back then. She even got jealous when I didn’t greet her the first thing I went home. I didn’t know what to do when she threw tantrums. However, now that we’re getting older, her temper has improved. If I’m away from her for long, she will be so anxious that she is on the verge of crying.”

At that, I unlocked my phone and received the money Ashton transferred before sending him an emoticon.

Instantly, the latter texted: What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll make the orders first.

I replied to his message: I’ll have to meet up with the third party tonight. Let’s eat another day.

The man replied: I’ll wait for you at the hotel. Reading his reply, I knitted my brows and didn’t give a response.

When we reached the hotel, Ashton looked charming yet poised as he stood in the hotel lobby in his black suit.

Ashton came towards me and looked at me with a smile on his face. “What would you like to eat?”
