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

Chapter 140

His hands that were unbuttoning his shirt paused for a second before he barked out a laugh. “I see you have confidence in my energy.” After glancing at me, he uttered, “Don’t worry. I’m not that absurd.”

Once he unbuttoned his shirt, he threw it aside before working on his belt. After he took off his pants and hunched over, I spotted a massive scar on his back, and I froze.

It seemed like the plane crash had been bad.
