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

Chapter 286

As I had said those words harshly, he knitted his brows upon hearing them. “We’ll shower together.”

Instantly, rage coursed through my veins. “Ashton, do you not speak human? I said I’m going to shower. If you want to take a shower, go to the other bathroom.”

His expression darkened. “What’s the matter with you? Why are you losing your temper over nothing? What did I do to you?”
