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

Noticing his balled-up fist, I braced myself for it to land on me. But it didn’t.

After a long moment, he turned his gaze on me. In his eyes, I could see a mixture of sorrow, disappointment, and despondent.

“Very well!” he finally uttered the only words he could muster and slammed the door shut as he left the room, resulting in a loud bang that reverberated throughout the house.

The next morning, despite having very little sleep, I had to be at Lavelian Village for a site inspection.

When I arrived at the meeting point, Rachel and Marcus were already there, which caught me by surprise. The reason being I did not expect Marcus to make an appearance in a task that was usually carried out by the site supervisor.

“Ms. Stovall, I hope you don’t think the world revolves around you just because you’re the president’s wife. If you can’t even arrive at a meeting on time, I suggest you just assume the role of a housewife, since Mr. Fuller already has more than enough to support you.”
