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

These words were gentle but firm.

Rebecca stiffened a bit but kept her smile and said, “Ashton and I have been close like family all these years. Since he calls you aunt, that makes me close to you as well. Addressing you as aunt is a show of my admiration and love.”

Judging from her ability to use someone else’s words to her own advantage, Rebecca seemed to have advanced a lot since those days when she could only bring up her deceased elder brother, Parker, to arouse sympathy.

In response, Sally merely smiled and did not pursue the matter any further. “Oh, it’s fine then. If Ashton treats you like a younger sister, you can naturally address me as Aunt Sally. My dear, counting those years, you should be about thirty years of age and ripe for marriage. Is there anyone in mind?”

Obviously, she was using this sibling-like relationship between Ashton and her to stress that the two cannot be in a romantic relationship.

Spoken like a true veteran!

I wonder how Rebecca is going to deal with this tricky question since we all know what’s on her mind.

She had just said that Ashton was like family to her, so it would make no sense if she suddenly said that she was interested in Ashton.

Rebecca’s expression stiffened slightly, but she still managed to put on a smile and said, “No, I’m fine with living alone now.”
