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

Chapter 484

I sighed even as a throbbing headache assailed me. “It’s okay. Just sit with me for a while.”

Initially, I thought everything would take a turn for the better after returning to K City from R Province, but I’d forgotten about Marcus and Jared.

After raising Summer for four years, I’d naturally regarded her as my own child from the bottom of my heart, and her existence almost had me forgetting about how my own child died. However, after returning to K City, it was as though everyone was reminding me of my bitter and agonizing past with Ashton.

Jared often came to visit Summer, and every time he did so, the distance between them reduced.

I was too afraid of Summer, so I tacitly acquiesced to Jared’s visits in the beginning. But as the frequency grew, I then made to leave with her.
