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

“So, Mr. Fuller, what’s special about the festive season in J City?” Cameron inquired as she smiled awkwardly.

“Nothing much. Just the usual.” He replied casually.

Cameron was dumbfounded.

Zachary placed some vegetables onto Cameron’s plate, hinting for her to focus on her meal instead.

The room went silent as Ashton seemed to be troubled by something.

Ashton was able to move about independently already – probably because he wanted to return to K City. Meanwhile, Cameron and Zachary left for their accommodation.

I stayed with Ashton while he called Joseph to hand over some work to him.

I sat there waiting for half an hour before his call ended.

He furrowed his brows as he hung up the call.

He took over the book in my hand, glanced at me, and said, “Joseph got the best ointment. It should get better within a few days.”

As I felt his gaze landed on my face, I realized he was referring to the scars on my face.

I shook my head lightly and gave a slight smile. “It’s okay. No big deal.”
