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

I just shrugged in reply, not wanting to say more.

As I watched her walk gracefully into the elevator, I couldn’t help but muse over the life she had made for herself. For someone as ambitious as Rachel, even if she weren’t born with a silver spoon, she’d have done everything in her power to get ahead in life.

Even though one might find some of her methods morally ambiguous, the fact remained that she had both beauty and brains to help in the pursuit of her ambitions.

She was very similar to Cameron in that respect. Everyone had their reasons for chasing money. Some did it purely for the thrill, while others did it so their descendants could live better lives. As long as you were capable and weren’t using illegal or ruthless means to obtain your wealth, there was no reason not to be a little more ambitious than your peers.

“Mrs. Fuller, you’re here!” A chirpy voice behind me pulled my wandering mind back. I smiled when I saw Stella walking toward me. “Yes, I came with Ashton. Have you just had lunch?”

Stella nodded eagerly. “Have you and Mr. Fuller eaten too?”

“Not yet. We came straight from the hospital.”

Just then, Ashton came back from parking his car and ushered me to follow him.

Stella quickly stepped in and said, “Mr. Fuller, since you haven’t had lunch, shall I buy some back? Mrs. Fuller, what would you like to eat? Let me know, and I’ll get it for you!”

I shook my head meekly as her enthusiasm and offer took me back by surprise.
