Ashton frowned and stared at me. “Are you pushing me away because of what happened in Venria?”

I nodded and said, “I was lucky. I didn’t suffer from the surgery, but I went through everything else. Ashton, I have my choices.”

“What did you choose?” He wore a grim expression. “Scarlett, you never told me anything and pushed me away. Do I seem so unworthy of your trust? You went to ask for help from a man you’ve just met for a few times, and not me. What exactly am I to you?”

I pursed my lips as I didn’t know what to say. It’s just as he said. I was indeed looking for reasons to push him away.

She was only 1.6m in height, while the man who was 1.88m was rather tall for her, so she could only raise her head to look at him. “Mr. Fuller, you can manage your billions of assets, but you can’t even be rational in relationships? You actually believed everything that busybody told you and started questioning Scarlett even before asking if it’s true. Hey man, think about it. Does this make sense?”

“I meant what I said!” Nora was rather furious and dragged me away. “Let’s go. Don’t waste your time on a no-brainer like him.”

I was dragged away by Nora while Ashton quickly caught up to us. He held onto my arm and asked, “Scarlett, can we make things clear before you leave? Is that okay?”
