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

Chapter 495

What the heck? Did the pipes just burst or something…

The stain on the gray bedsheet was so large that it looked as if a bucket of water had been splashed on it. It was a frightening sight to behold – even for me.

I hurriedly got into the bathroom with a clean set of clothes to change into. It was only then I realized how badly stained my clothes were.

As I stepped out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Ashton making the bed. He had already replaced the bloodied sheets with fresh, clean ones. Thankfully the mattress was waterproof, so it was easy enough to wipe it clean.

Just as Ashton was about to reach for the dirty sheets on the rug, I rushed forward and picked them up. “I’ll do it!” I cried out, face red from the embarrassment.

He frowned and replied, “The weather’s cold. Let me handle it.”

“No… you don’t have to!” No matter how close a relationship was, it was never appropriate to have someone else clean up this sort of mess.

Ashton gazed at me with an unreadable expression. “Don’t worry about it. Just let me wash that.”

Before I could open my mouth to protest against it, he had already grabbed the sheets.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one of the most prominent businessmen in K City would be rolling up his sleeves and washing a bunch of dirty sheets in the bathroom.

The stained pajama pants soaking in the basin had also turned the water red. It was a sight that was hard to miss, and Ashton had clearly noticed it.
