When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047 Did You Report On Rebecca

I smiled. “Since you have recommended it, I will definitely try it. Ms. Harrett, you seem to be very familiar with this restaurant."

She replied with a smile, “Not really, but I've been here a few' times. So, I remember the ones that I like and always recommend them to friends that come here.”

Surprisingly, Zelene was nothing like Rebecca. With Joe's personality, I thought he would find someone similar to his ex-crush, but Zelene and Rebecca were like chalk and cheese.

After chattering for a bit, I stood up from my seat and headed to the restroom. When Ashton saw me leaving, he quickly stopped his conversation with Joe and wanted to accompany me, but I declined as I did not want to interrupt them.

A few minutes later, I stepped out of the restroom and bumped into Joe. w'ho was leaning against the wall of the corridor. I thought he was waiting for someone, but I looked around and saw' no one. Hmm, who is he waiting for?

After hesitating for a moment, I walked towards him and asked out of politeness, “Are you waiting for Ms. Harrett?" He lifted his gaze and looked at me coldly. “I'm waiting for you.”

I furrowed my brow's, puzzled. “Why?” I don't think we have anything to talk about. Joe had never liked me. All these years we rarely interacted with one another even though he was my husband's close friend.

“Can I help you with anything?” I asked, stopping in my tracks.

He arched an eyebrow' and cut to the chase. “Can we talk somewhere else?"

I don't think I have a choice, do I? So, I nodded and gestured. “Sure.”

As we arrived at the stairwell, he put his hands in his pockets and leaned his tall figure against the wall, giving off an aura of grimness. I remained silent and stared at him, waiting for him to speak first.

After a pause, he lit a cigarette and took a long drag on it. “Were you the one who reported Rebecca to the police?”

I frowmed. Gosh, is he here for Rebecca? I thought he had moved on! Apparently, he still cares about her.

“I found her by accident, so I called the police,” I told him truthfully. That night, Hannah and I went to the alley out of curiosity. I never thought Rebecca would be like that.

He exhaled slowly and cast an icy gaze at me. “Ashton has given his heart to you. What else do you want from her? Why do you have to push her over the edge? You just want her to die, don't you?"
