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

My innocence gave me the courage to act defiantly. I questioned, “What are you looking at me for? Are you suspecting me?”

“Are my suspicions misplaced?” Gritting his teeth, the subordinate ignored Nathaniel’s presence.

“No, I didn’t,” I answered readily.

“Fine, I believe you.” Nathaniel looked at me calmly, as if he already expected it.
