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

Chapter 245

Ashton scooped me into his arms and shot a cold look at Rebecca, who was still dumbstruck.

Then, he snapped, “Next time, please refrain from setting foot in our humble abode. My wife has a frail body and can’t handle your aggressive ways.”

He was indirectly implying that Rebecca wasn’t welcome here anymore.

As Rebecca slowly regained her senses, her eyes reddened while she anxiously tried to explain herself, “Ash, it wasn’t me. I didn’t touch her!”

Ashton scoffed, “So, are you saying that she fell in on her own?”

Rebecca once again defended herself, “She was going to push me in, but when I resisted, she fell in instead. It has nothing to do with me. She…”

“So, she couldn’t even defend herself against you, a pregnant woman?” Ashton questioned. With his lips pressed into a tight line, he exuded a chilly aura.

“Rebecca, you should be well aware of why I’ve always indulged you. It was a privilege bestowed on you in return for Parker’s kindness, but within these few years, you’ve completely exhausted that privilege.” These words were admittedly brutal.

Rebecca’s face had turned pale, and her eyes were red when she choked out, “My brother died because of you back then. How can you casually dismiss that just because of me? What’s the meaning of this, Ash?”

“Do you need me to spell it out for you?” Ashton’s breathing grew heavy as he suppressed his anger. “Go back and tell your mother that one of these days, we’ll settle the scores between us.”

With that, he carried me into the living room. After making the phone call, Mrs. Eriksen came out with an infuriated look on her face. Glancing at the pregnant woman standing outside, she said in a clipped tone, “I think it’s time for you to leave, Ms. Larson. The Fullers are a simple family and can’t keep up with your flair for drama.”

Without waiting to see Rebecca’s reaction, she shut the door in her face.
