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

I knew Ashton’s stubborn personality like the back of my palm. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. To achieve his goals, it was likely that he’d already started to brainstorm for other ideas to convince me.

Nevertheless, I was happy that he had his attention fixated on something else. It meant that Ashton was finally breaking free from the Hall family.

After waiting in the car for several moments, Ashton finally arrived late on purpose. When he got into the seat next to mine, there was a dark expression that loomed across his face.

Even when the car started, Ashton did not spare me a single glance. Instead, he kept his hands firmly on his knees. It looked like he was drawing an invisible boundary between us.

Although I had only ever seen women sulk in silence, Ashton’s sullen demeanor was no different. In fact, the petulant pout on his face looked extremely out of place.

The sight of Ashton’s clenched jaw caused me to stifle my laughter. In an attempt to catch a better glimpse of his face, I leaned forward. At the same time, the car drove over a sudden bump that sent my flying forward because I’d forgotten to put on my seatbelt.

The next thing I knew, a pair of muscled arms had wrapped around my waist and guided me back to my seat with a firm yet gentle grip.

Immediately, I looked up and saw a deep frown across Ashton’s forehead. A look of exasperation and frustration was present in his jet-black eyes.
