When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1129

I offered no retort. The intense crying I did leave my eyes tired and puffy. I watched Ashton for a while before I drifted off to sleep.

I then had a lengthy dream.

In it, Macy, Jackson and I were back in high school. We were lazing around beneath the shade of a tree, watching other kids play with crickets. The fearless Macy pissed off their head honcho. Jackson then charged up and tangled with them. He was like a brave gladiator who did not cry out even as his head bled.

When I awoke, there was only the sedate expression on Ashton’s face as he slept next to me.

I extended a hand to caress his face. There was simply no going back to where we came from.

…..

After the ten-day long hormone therapy, I was finally able to have an ovum successfully extracted from my body. The artificial insemination process also went well. In three days, the cultivated embryo would be ready to be inserted into my uterus.

It was also today that Ashton did not have me sent home as usual. Instead, he ferried me to the Fuller Corporation personally.

There was hardly time for me to warm my seat before Ashton produced a file from under the table, which he opened up before passing it along.

I was not sure what to make of it. The heading read—Letter of Authorization for the Shares of Fuller Corporation.

Ashton meant for me to transfer all the shares I have on hand to his name and make him my legal executor.

Confounded, I placed down the document. “Has this something to do with the investment with GW?”

Even though he had explained to me the importance of the financing, I still had reservations about it as the risks involved were too great.

Ashton nodded. “I could not categorically deny that. Though I haven’t green-lighted it, it’s inevitable that I might have to make a decision on this on your behalf once you sign the letter. More importantly, the lab results would be confirmed in the next few days. It was difficult enough for us to be able to conceive, so whatever GW may be up to, I don’t want you to become a target for them. Not only is this about the transference of shares, but you will also be completely removed from all involvement in Fuller Corporation.”
