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

Chapter 75 

“Stop dilly-dallying. We’ll explain back in J City!” Macy pried his hands off before we left the mall. We hailed a cab back to the hotel, packed up, and rushed to the airport at once.

Macy and I held hands tightly during the three-hour journey back to J City.

After getting off the plane, we took a cab back to Glenwood Apartments. Back there, she proceeded to lock all the doors and windows before collapsing in a corner dejectedly.

A heavy silence hung in the air. Finally, she met my gaze, her eyes red-rimmed. “Scarlett, what should we do?”

“He might not know we’re in J City. We might be safe here,” she continued. The next minute, she shook her head and wept. “We can’t hide from him. He’s an IT expert. It’s easy for him to find us!”

I stared at her wordlessly.
