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

Chapter 623

Staring at the golden potato wedges, I was too full to eat anymore, but it brought back my childhood memories.

The land in R Province was cultivable. Every year during spring, Grandma planted two acres of maize. From soil preparation to sowing to manuring to irrigation, I had to be there to give her a hand. On our way back, we dug up some potatoes to make potato wedges.

Sometimes, we roasted them over the fire. When they were cooked, the dark, burnt skin was peeled and the golden potatoes smelled appetizing. With Grandma’s homemade sauce, they were the most delicious food I had ever eaten.

At that time, she often wiped the ashes on the tip of my nose and laughed. “When Letty gets married, I’ll help you take care of your baby and feed the little one roasted potato as well.”

My eyes misted over in reminiscence. A passer-by saw tears trickle down my cheeks. He handed me a packet of tissue and consoled me out of sympathy.

“Hey, I don’t know what you’re going through. But you’re still young and have plenty of time ahead of you. No matter what problem you’re facing, hang on and don’t give up. Eventually, it’ll pass. Cry it out, then start again.”

Taking the tissue from him, I nodded gratefully. With a faint smile, I gave him the potatoes wedges in return. “Thank you.”

After pulling myself together, I ambled along the street instead of hailing a cab.

Suddenly, my phone rang with a call from Ashton. “Shall we eat lunch together?”

Glancing up at the sky, I actually felt that the weather in K City was getting warmer. Lifting my hand to shield my eyes from the dazzling sunlight, I stared at the leaves on a tree blankly.
