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

Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Based on their interaction, there was no mistaking the fact that they did care about each other. However, it was getting late, so Sally didn’t try to hold us back from leaving. What they had left unsaid would have to wait.

I got into the car and stared at the scenery putside the window. As Ashton drove, he asked, “What do you feel like eating?”

I shook my head. “I am not feeling particularly hungry.”

My meeting with Sally a few hours ago left a deep impression. She seemed as majestic as a phoenix and commanded a sense of awe from the people around her. This, together with the worldliness she possessed, was a force to be reckoned with, making her very desirable as well. A woman like her could’ve had any man she wanted, so why did she choose such an old spouse? Given their age gap, people would’ve also spread nasty rumors about her as well.

I glanced sideways at Ashton and found that his eyes were fixated on the road. The expression on his face was unreadable. Wishing to break the silence, I said, “Aunt Sally must really love Benjamin.”

If you are willing to shoulder that much of a burden for someone, surely that means you love him dearly. 

Hearing this, Ashton furrowed his brows and pursed his lips as he looked at me. “What is love?”

I was stunned at the question and couldn’t answer that immediately. What is love? Come to think of it, I had no earthly idea.

It was dark by the time we reached home. Despite my exhaustion, Ashton still managed to get me to eat something. After that, I immediately went to bed.

When I awoke the next day, it was already noon. Ashton was nowhere to be seen.
