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

I looked up at Camelia and nodded. I didn’t think much of her story up till that point.

Then, she carried on, “He wanted to build a career in M Country and I happened to have the resources he needed. Given the circumstances, we got engaged in M Country. When he met you, it was right after our engagement ceremony. I was not able to understand why he grew distant after that. My pregnancy was just an accident. I only knew afterwards that you and him were not on the same page.”

She touched her stomach and stared outside the window for a moment. It was still snowing heavily. “I checked. Even though I didn’t see anything, but Scarlett, I don’t think you’re being very fair to him. He’s truly good to you. Come to think of it, God isn’t very fair to him either. Both him and your husband were born with silver spoons, but in the area of relationships, your husband had way better luck. Marcus’ parents did not have a good marriage and passed away one after another. He also gave you his heart but was unable to get your affection. Scarlett, I think you owe him,” she continued.

I looked at the woman. I still found her as adorable as before. She was not the same as Rebecca in the sense that after knowing what happened between Marcus and me, she didn’t insult or humiliate me, but rather tried her best to understand the man.

It was because she loved him. As such, she was able to put herself in his shoes and felt for him.

“Camelia, I can’t control who I love. You’re right, I do owe Marcus and I’m trying to make it up to him using my own ways. There’s someone else I love. You should know better than me that I won’t be able to force myself to love Marcus just because I feel bad towards him. Of course, I’m sure that isn’t what you want either, right?”

Camelia appeared to be momentarily stunned before nodding her head and said, “Yup. That’s why I asked to meet you. I love him, but you’re the one who has his heart. I’m not here to blame you. After all, I couldn’t manage to win him over even after so many years. Perhaps, I’m just not good enough. The reason I’m here is also because I wanted to thank you.”

I paused for a moment and asked, “Thank me?”
