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

Seeing that his attempt was futile, John slumped onto the couch and crossed his legs. “Then I’ll just follow my own will. I’ll go out when I want to go out and come back when I want to come back.”

John’s face instantly turned sullen as he complained, “You only do this to me. If you’re so good at it, why don’t you keep Ashton in check instead?”

At the mention of Ashton, I subconsciously knitted my brows. After pondering for a moment, I replied, “I’ll keep him in line as I have always done.”
