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

Emery lowered her head, deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing! Some things are best experienced yourself. If you think that engaging in a lawsuit with the Stovall family is the right thing to do, then do it. But I know that rather than the outcome, some people will be happy just to see you alive and well.”

Her words stunned me momentarily.

She was clearly hinting that the Stovalls were waiting for their Scarlett to come home. But if that was true, why didn’t they search for me these past six years? They had even published her obituary to the world. As she said, there was no point figuring out with limited information. The only way was to experience everything myself.

In a half-asleep state, he rubbed his eyes. Meanwhile, he grabbed my thumb with his other hand and replied sleepily, “Yes.”
