When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1092

At the table, Sally gazed at us while serving us. “I see that Fuller Corporation has expanded very well. It’s operating at a large scale now and has a very solid foundation. You two should start focusing on building your own little family. I mean, you need to spice things up. Don’t just leave Summer with the Moores. You need to keep her by your side more, educate, and develop her as she grows up. Don’t be lazy.”

Feeling ashamed of myself, I nodded profusely. “Noted, Aunt Sally.”

We should have kept Summer with us more. There’re too many things going on earlier, but I guess it’s time to bring her home now.

While I was still thinking about this, Sally ran to the bathroom all of a sudden, leaving Ashton and me perplexed. Jim calmly followed her in, and they took a while before returning to the table.

I blurted, “Did you eat something bad and have a tummy upset, Aunt Sally?”

Smiling, Sally explained, “I’m all right. This is just a temporary symptom. Things will get better after a month or two.” She took her seat.

Jim served her some dishes and took care of all her needs.

Ashton stayed silent at the side. Meanwhile, I frowned at him. He’s such a log, not knowing how to care for his aunt.

After lunch, Jim and Ashton enjoyed a good cuppa while Sally and I watched television after doing the dishes. Suddenly, Sally pulled me aside and asked, “Letty, age is catching up with the both of you. Do you plan to have children?”

I was momentarily stunned by her abrupt question.

Upon hesitating, I answered, “Aunt Sally, I can’t conceive.”

Gasping, her smile stiffened as she said helplessly, “What a pity! Life must be tough on you two.”

I pressed my lips together tightly, unsure of how to reply. Let bygones be bygones.

After some time, Sally appeared to be unwell again. I asked again, “What’s wrong, Aunt Sally? How are you feeling?”

She shook her head slightly. “I’m okay. I’m too old for this, that’s why… Letty, have you thought about having a child through alternative means?”
