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

Wife and son?

Even though I knew Marcus had some secrets of his own, I was truly baffled at the information Ashton had revealed.

My feelings towards Marcus were purely platonic. If he had been married before, I could still accept it. However, I couldn’t accept the fact that Marcus was wealthy while his wife was living a difficult life, poor as a church mouse.

Maybe I should stand by Marcus’ side and wait till the truth is revealed, but the dumbfounded look on his face told me enough.

Marcus ignored Ashton’s words and stomped towards the woman and child. He glared at her as he grabbed her wrist to take her and her child away.

Joseph immediately blocked his way, realizing Marcus’ intention.

Ashton sat on the couch impassively as he watched the scene unfold. “Mr. White, we’re not done here yet. You haven’t admitted to the relationship between you and this mother and child, yet you wanted to take them away from my house? Are you disrespecting me in my own house?”

Marcus gritted his teeth and reluctantly looked at me. He finally released a deep sigh and admitted, “As you said, I’m her husband and the father of her child.”

He recovered his usual arrogant composure after a brief pause. “Can I take them away now?”
