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

Chapter 493

On the other end of the call, John was taken aback momentarily. “I’ll send someone to pick her up. Don’t worry.”

I tried to keep my anger at bay, even though I felt that he had really gone overboard. “For goodness’ sake, John, this is your pregnant wife! What’s wrong with you?”

Right now, I just want you to rest well and don’t overthink things.”
