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

Chapter 258

Chapter 258

As I woke up early in the morning and did not have a good night’s sleep last night, I fell asleep in a daze the moment I lay on the bed.

I could vaguely feel that someone was beside my bed. As I was in a deep sleep, I thought that it was an illusion. However, even though some time had passed, I kept sensing that the shadow was still lurking nearby. It felt the same as sleep paralysis, which I had when I was younger.

Although I was so exhausted that I could barely open my eyes, I could still vaguely feel that someone was sitting beside the bed. Anxious and flustered, I was at a loss for what to do.

It was a huge struggle for me to finally wake up. By then, my forehead was already dripping with sweat. Yet, when I glanced around, there was no one sitting beside my bed. The entire room was empty.

It was probably because I was in a deep sleep. My body became very frail after my pregnancy, which was most likely the reason for this hallucination.

Still feeling light-headed, I went downstairs. The sky had already darkened by then. When the maid saw me walking down the stairs, she said, “Ma’am, your phone has been ringing a few times. I’m afraid that it’s about something urgent. Please take a look.”

When I returned earlier, I had casually left my bag downstairs. I quickly went to grab my phone after h

It was a call from Marcus: As I did not pick up his calls, he messaged me with the address of the restaurant for dinner.

By the time I arrived at the second floor of the Pavilion Restaurant, everyone was already present: Some teased when they saw me rushing in, “Our busy Ms. Stovall has finally arrived. Since you’re late, take three shots as a punishment!”

I laughed as I sat down beside Marcus and downed three shots.

After that, we chatted casually for the entire duration of the meal. I was sitting beside Marcus, and he kept placing food on my plate,
