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

Chapter 199

Chapter 199

Hearing his flighty remarks, my face darkened in an instant. “I’m thankful that you don’t mind being my baby’s stepfather, but you’re too good for a woman like me, as you’ve said, who doesn’t treat their marriage seriously,” I riposted, glaring at him.

With that, I walked past him out of the pavilion and then briskly walked along the pond, heading toward the house.

I was annoyed when I heard his footsteps getting closer.

Looking at his composed manner, I realized he had frightened me on purpose. My chest heaved heavily while I was quivering in anger.
