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

I smiled and shook my head. “I’m not sure but let’s stop gossiping about them. At her age, if Aunt Sally manages to find someone suitable for her and have a partner for her remaining years, that’s a good thing.”

“That’s right!” Hannah nodded and continued seriously, “I suddenly believe that destiny really exists. We all have our own predetermined paths to walk. Some people get to enjoy a smooth life with fame and riches but die young. There are others who have it rougher but remain in good health until they die of old age. There are also some who have a difficult start in life but work hard and ultimately get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. It’s the same when it comes to relationships. True love might only come to some at a later stage after experiencing trials and tribulations.”

I nodded, agreeing with her views. Chandler ordered a few of Hannah’s favorite dishes and said, “What about us? It was also not easy for us to be together, right?”

Hannah looked at the man and replied, “We just met each other at the right time.”

Seeing that they are showing off their love again, I looked down at my phone. Hailey texted again. It’s difficult to explain over the phone. Let’s find some time to meet up!

She was right. That issue was too complicated to be properly communicated over the phone.

Just then, I saw an incoming call from Ashton and answered it at once. “Has your meeting ended?”

He replied in a hoarse voice, “Yup, just ended. Where are you now?”

“I’m in town having dinner with Hannah and Chandler right now. Do you want to join us?”

“Sure!”
