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

What Ashton said next confirmed my guesswork.

“I’ve long considered John’s opinion, but it’ll only be my last resort.” He looked a little tired with his downcast eyes. “What happened today reminds me that Armond is a viper that’s waiting for the perfect timing to strike, but I don’t know when that will be. Besides, there’s still some uncertainty in the identity of the people who killed my parents back then. Since I can’t stop now, I can only get bolder to catch them off guard so that they’ll give themselves away. After the divorce agreement is announced, we should stop seeing each other for some time. This is the best protection for you and our kids.”

Ashton paused and placed his palm over my belly. “After they’re born, let them bear your last name.”

I understood what he was planning. He wanted us to divorce and to let the kids bear my last name because he wanted everyone to think that our relationship was over.

The look in his downcast eyes was unfathomable while he exuded an air of melancholy. At this moment, he looked like the aloof man I knew when we first met.

I knew that Ashton would be trapped in living hell for the rest of his life if he were to watch the enemy who killed his parents live a happy life.
