When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1127

Jackson was taken aback by her straightforwardness. A moment later, he recollected himself and replied, “You’re right. After all, it’s just a matter of individual choice. No one is nobler than the other.”

Feeling that he was insinuating something, I was rendered speechless. Besides, I found it difficult to inquire where he had been in front of Rose and Lydia. What happened?

Feeling conflicted, I could only muster up a single commonplace out of the thousand in my head. “Come and have dinner at my place when you’re free. After all, Summer has been missing you.”

“We’ll see,” Jackson rejected indirectly. “Since I’ve just opened my new clinic, many of my patients will be coming for follow-up examinations. So, I’m quite busy and don’t really have time.”

It was obvious that he wanted to keep a distance from me.

Besides resenting me for ignoring him in the past, Jackson probably thought I was also responsible for Macy’s death.

Now that Macy was not here anymore, Jackson was the only childhood friend I had. Hence, I was reluctant to let go of our friendship.

I was about to persuade him when Lydia, who was listening to our conversation, interrupted with a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I’ll remind him to come to your place when he’s free.”

She was gentle and dazzlingly beautiful, and I had to admit that she and Jackson were indeed a perfect match. Meanwhile, Jackson didn’t voice his objection after hearing that, which meant that he agreed to it.

Suddenly, I felt that my fixation with mending our friendship seemed to have faded away.

I felt that Jackson was right. After all, we should let bygones be bygones. At least, there was now a woman who could tame Jackson’s temperament so that he didn’t have a fallout with me.

Feeling grateful for Lydia’s help, I flashed her a smile and replied, “Thank you, Lydia.”

I had always regarded Jackson as an older brother, for he was half a year older than me, and now, it was only right that I treated his wife, Lydia, with the respect she deserved.
