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

I nodded silently. Indeed, it certainly isn’t an easy task to consider the issue from three perspectives in such a short time.

However, Ashton seemed to be still dissatisfied with her answers as he raised his brows and said in a slightly overbearing manner, “That’s it?”

Upon hearing that, dumbfoundedness flashed across Summer’s eyes instantly. She furrowed her brows temporarily before relaxing them in the next second. With apparent helplessness in her tone, she replied, “I’m sorry, Daddy, but I still couldn’t figure out the others at the moment.”

She had asked Ashton’s forgiveness twice in less than a minute. The atmosphere grew relatively tenser at that instant. Ashton had always subconsciously put his employees under tremendous pressure, and now, he applied it to Summer as well.

Knowing how hard it was to notice a subconscious habit, I could only interrupt jokingly to ease the tension, “All right, it’s all in the past. Why are you so serious in a family conversation? Summer is still young and lacks experience. You’re superior in this, so don’t keep her in suspense.”
