When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

We did not speak throughout the journey and I was quite sleepy upon arriving at the villa.

Ashton carried me out of the car, and we headed straight into the bedroom. He laid me on the bed and said, “Don’t fall asleep yet. Go and wash up first.”

I was slightly groggy and couldn’t help but laze on the bed. I pulled the blanket over and was planning to fall asleep then and there.

Ashton saw through what I was trying to do and he carried me from underneath the blanket. We went into the bathroom and he said softly, “Wash up first. Or else, you will suffer tomorrow.”

I agreed and hung myself onto him groggily. As I was stretching my hand to grab the toothpaste, suddenly he took it away.

He applied the toothpaste onto my toothbrush then passed me a glass of water. “Brush your teeth properly.” He sounded as if he was teaching a child.

With the toothbrush in my mouth, I murmured, “I’m not a child.”

He laughed and said, “There’s no difference.”

After I forced myself to wash up, I seemed to be slightly more awake. I lay on the bed with Ashton next to me. He hugged me in his arms with his chin resting on my neck. “Let’s have a good sleep tonight.”

I raised one of my eyebrows. “Are you saying that to yourself?”

He starred at me and smiled. “I’m saying that to you. It’s normal for it to have a reaction when it sees its owner.”

He can be turned on anytime, anywhere!

I pursed my lips and pushed him away. “You stink so bad. Go wash up.”

He smiled menacingly and asked, “Where does it stink?”

“Everywhere!” Just when I shut my eyes and was preparing to fall asleep, his voice traveled next to my ear. “Scarlett, let’s live together in harmony from now on? Hm?”

My chest hurt as if my heart had sunk. I pursed my lips without saying a word. Can we really live a good life

“Ashton, do you love me?” I knew that question was silly but I just had to ask.

He placed his hand on my face and touched my carlobe with his fingers, “What about you?”

Me?

I was a little apprehensive as it had been such a long time. It was love at first sight when I met Ashton. I relied on that feeling during the later days. However, much time had passed without him reciprocating my love. At that point, I realized I wasn’t as persistent as before and even planned to leave him.

Maybe, I didn’t love him as much as I thought.

Seeing that I was silent, his eyes darkened, and said, “It’s alright, we’ll take it slow. We will be madly in love with each other in the future!”
