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

Chapter 157 I almost choke on my soup when I heard Ashton answering her, “Yes!”

He fell in love with me? I must have heard it wrongły.. 

Rebecca continued at the top of her voice, “That’s impossible! What you feel toward her is nothing but a sense of guilt and responsibility, not love! She’s been by your side for two years after all, not to mention she’s pregnant with your child now…”

Ashton was never a smooth talker, so when he saw that Rebecca was throwing her tantrum, he uttered flatly, “That’s enough, Rebecca. Go back with Joe!”

He had probably kept his voice low the whole time to avoid disturbing me as much as possible. Soon, the doorbell rang again, and there came Joe.

Rebecca wailed and flailed about as Joe dragged her out of the villa.

As soon as everything quietened down, Ashton came into the dining hall. I was almost done eating by then. He looked at me with tired eyes as he pinched his brows. “How’s breakfast?”

The food wasn’t bad, so I nodded. “Did you not sleep well last night?”

Smiling wearily, he sat beside me and pulled me into his embrace. His chin rested upon my shoulder. “Do you have any plans for the evening?”

I paused a little before answering him, “I might be going out for a bit. I haven’t managed to spend time with Macy these few days ever since she came back. I’m thinking I should pay her a visit.”

I knew that Jackson should have arrived in J City by now. But there was no need to tell Ashton about this yet. It‘s not like I was having a fatal illness anyway.
