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

Initially, I wanted to get to the bottom of what happened between her and Summer. However, she kept avoiding the topic intentionally. So I decided not to ask further.

After leaving The Jade, I went to Summer’s club.

The servers were all Lucas’ subordinates. They were all dressed in uniforms with bow ties on them. At first glance, they looked out of place. However, they somehow managed to hide their hostility underneath those bow ties. Along with the smiles on the customers’ faces, everything looked surprisingly normal.

Although my arrival had put everyone on edge, they still escorted me to my seat politely. They even served me drinks while I waited for Summer.

Not long after, Summer showed up. “Mommy! What brought you here today?”

Being her usual self, Summer flashed a perfunctory smile.

Due to her decisions made, I was actually worried that it’d be awkward to see her. But she handled herself surprisingly well. In fact, her warm welcome made me feel like nothing had ever happened between us.
