When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1112

I observed Ashton quietly through the rearview mirror. After shaving, his charming, good looks were restored with no sign of having gone through an all-nighter at all.

Being the extrovert she was, Emery started talking not long after the car sped off, “I know it is not good to compare, but look at you, Mr. Fuller. You are so busy, and yet, you still make time to bring Scar to the hospital, unlike Hunter. When we finally get a long-awaited holiday, he spends it on some random academic seminar. Tsk tsk…”

I just sat there, feeling awkward. While it was perfectly acceptable to complain to girlfriends, it was quite embarrassing for a wife to complain about her husband in front of another man. Emery seemed to be losing her filters after having her child. At that thought, I reminded myself to talk to her about it later on.

Ashton focused on driving and did not respond right away. I thought he didn’t hear it and was about to heave a sigh of relief when I heard his low voice pipe up.

“I did not manage to protect her properly the last two times. If I don’t make up for it this time around, I will have no comparative advantage over Professor Zane.”

It was a perfect response. Ashton did not deny that he was a good husband, but he did not run down Hunter either. This was the best way to protect the dignity of both men. I let out a laugh upon hearing that. Meanwhile, Emery was dumbstruck as she had not expected that the joke would be on her.

Since Ashton had raised Hunter to such a high pedestal, it would be too much of her to keep complaining about him.

With that, silence ensued in the car and soon, we reached the hospital.
