When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1057

After he got off the car, he went over to the passenger’s seat and opened the door before he escorted a lady out. I was totally not expecting him to bring a woman—an elegant woman, to be precise. I thought he would come with Jackson.

I lost myself for a second, looking at the lady.

But I quickly collected myself and went ahead to greet them. “It’s been a long time, Nick. You’re still as dashing as ever.”

Nick smiled back at me politely. The childishness in his manner was long gone already. “It’s been a long time. You’ve gotten thinner.”

“Aren’t you going to introduce your friend to us?” I asked, looking at the lady beside him.

He nodded and held her hand. “This is Rose, my girlfriend,” he said, before turning toward the woman. “Rose, this is my sister, Scarlett.”

Sister! The word really sounded stiff and distant coming from Nick.

Rose looked at me and put on a sweet smile. “Nice to meet you, Scarlett. You’re just as beautiful as Nick described.”

“He must have exaggerated. Come on in. Lunch is almost ready.”

I ushered them into the house and asked them to take a seat. There were some burning questions I wanted to ask, but I did not. I wanted to know what happened to Jackson. I wanted to know if Nick intended on marrying this woman since he brought her home.

I never asked Nick about Jackson since I figured their relationship was not as simple. I thought both of them would continue seeing each other, but it turned out that was not the case.

When mom was finally done cooking, dad had reached home after work. Everyone sat at the table and Nick introduced Rose to everyone. “Mom, I’m planning on marrying Rose. This is why I brought her with me today. Her family’s from K City, so I guess it’ll be easier if we let you take charge of our engagement since you know this place best.”
