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

Chapter 972

I chuckled, “I see Justin treating you well. Are you guys together?”

Her face turned dark at the mention of Justin. She was keeping her anger in check, but I was still able to discern it. She answered after a short pause, “We’re just friends.

I nodded and replied, “Ashton and I were an example of love after marriage. Our grandparents were the ones who arranged our marriage. His grandfather and my grandmother were good friends.”

Surprise crossed Stella’s face. “So you and Mr. Fuller didn’t have the freedom to date.”

I nodded in agreement. She couldn’t hide the look of surprise. “I thought that both of you had dated freely, and it turned out that it was actually because of your grandparents’ friendship. But I heard from my colleagues that the Fullers prioritize status above everything else.”
