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

Chapter 1526

The memory of how he’d put me on the spot at the mall resurfaced in my mind, and my expression soured. “What are you doing here? The kids and I were just about to go to sleep.”

Abruptly remembering how he’d changed beds without even asking me, I quickly added, “Don’t think that there’s space for you just because the bed is bigger now. You’ll take up Summer’s space if you sleep here. If you really want to be a ‘good father’, then go back to your study and sleep there!”

With that, I whipped around only to meet Audrey’s sad, puppy-dog stare.

As if having expected my reaction, she sat by the bedside with watery eyes and looked ready to burst out into tears at any second.

I took a deep breath to steel myself, not waiting for Ashton’s response before I caved. “Fine, fine. Stay if you want. I’ll take the right side and you take the left side, and the kids will sleep in the middle. Just try not to get too cuddly.”

Audrey threw her hands in the air and whooped in excitement, rolling over to lie down in the middle of the bed. She reached out and patted the empty spots to both her sides, calling out loudly, “Greg, Summer! Come on! Time for sleep!”

Upon hearing that, Summer and Gregory both got up from the sofa and headed towards the bed.
