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

Ashton pursed his lips into a hard line, and brushed the strand of hair that was blocking my vision to the back, and said, “The flight is really early, we have to speed up.”

After I was done with my teeth, he had already done my hair. I cocked my head to one side and peered into the mirror. He had actually done a decent job. Raising a brow, I said to him, “How many times have you attempted to style this for it to turn out this perfect?”

He raised a brow as well and drew out a tissue to wipe the foam off the corners of my mouth. “This is my first time, and I’m still fumbling, but practice makes perfect. However, seeing that you, my client, are quite satisfied. Maybe I’m just a gifted stylist.”

I chuckled dryly and headed out of the bathroom. While I was applying my skincare, he had already done packing. All luggage had been loaded into the boot of the car as well. Ashton noticed that I was putting on makeup and asked curiously, “Why are you in the mood to put on makeup all of a sudden?”

I actually just did my brows and put on lipstick. The man crossed his arms before his chest and glanced at me, he was expecting an explanation. “I just want to look decent standing next to Mr. Fuller.”

His lips curled into a smile as he held my hands. “You’re already a natural beauty, and you don’t need makeup to be pretty. Besides, it’s not good for you to put on makeup now that you’re pregnant. You should swap these out.”

I eyed the makeup on my dressing table. They were all actually high-end cosmetics infused with plant extracts. “That’s not necessary. Pregnant women can use these too. Mister, you’re forbidden from swapping out my stuff, period.”

He would always swap out my clothes and skincare when I was not paying attention, and not because they were not fit for wear, nor was it because I ran out of them. Ashton just had the notion that if I did not finish using the skincare within three months, it simply meant that I did not enjoy using them, which was not at all the case. His little gesture left me confused, and lack of a set of skincare that I truly enjoyed using. I really enjoyed the set I was just using and had to remind him not to swap it out, lest the man acted on his own accord again. I really had no idea how a big boss like him had the time and effort to pay attention to trivial matters like these.
