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

Chapter 310

She sounded like she was too embarrassed to continue, so Sally spoke for her, “Rebecca didn’t bring her driver along. She came here with me. It’s already very late now and it’s not safe for a girl to go home alone at this hour. The villa’s big, so let her stay here for the night.”

Sally’s words were meant for Ashton.

The latter narrowed his eyes and looked to me instead. “What do you think about having a guest over for the night?”

I frowned, feeling slightly peeved. “What does it have to do with me?”

With that, I moved to head upstairs, but he grabbed my arm and ordered in a deep voice, “I’ll get a driver to send Ms. Larson home.”

Unhappy with her nephew’s command, Sally’s expression hardened. “Is this how you treat your guests? Since when have you become so inhospitable? Don’t you know how cold it is outside? It’s not appropriate to allow a girl to go home on her own. The house is so big and isn’t lacking in rooms. Besides, my place is so empty, so I’d like her to keep me company. I don’t like being alone at night.”

Noticing Ashton’s darkening expression, Rebecca timidly chipped in, “Ash, your aunt has gone through a lot lately. I was also thinking of staying back to keep her company. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you and Scarlett. I only want to accompany your aunt, so that she won’t feel so lonely.”

Tsk, tsk!How kind and considerate of her!

Ashton furrowed his brows in discontent, but since Sally put it that way, it would be unwise for him to reject her request.

With his arm still around me, he barked, “Do as you please.”

Then, he tugged me upstairs and studied my face. “Are you mad?”

I quickly shook my head in response. Without speaking,
