When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 

I looked at the two men, who were glaring at each other, and said, “A long time ago.” After a pause, I asked, “Is there anything I can do to stop them from fighting?”

It had been only days since Ashton’s accident. He was still covered in wounds, so it was unsuitable for him to engage in a fight now. The last time he fought, he was still injured despite him being in his best health. This time…

Jared raised a brow at me. “Who do you feel bad for?”

Speechless about his need to gossip, I muttered, “It won’t look good for them to fight here.”

“There aren’t a lot of people around,” Jared noted. He then looked at the two, amused. I was starting to think he might take out a packet of popcorn to enjoy the show.

I could not help but let out a huff of annoyance.

Then, I turned to Ashton. “Ashton, send me back. Don’t fight and cause a scene here.”

The man looked at me, his brows furrowed in silence.

Thus, I walked toward him and held his hand. Softening my tone, I repeated, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

“Do you feel bad for me?” he asked with a smile.

I easily ignored his question. “Are we going back?”

After sweeping his gaze at John, who was staring at me, Ashton nodded. “Okay. Let’s go back.”

At that, he led me to the car before he glanced at Jared. “Send Scarlett’s car for repair.”

It seemed like John had not truly planned on fighting against Ashton, so he did nothing but watch the man and I leave.

In the car.

Driving past the bright road lights, the inside of the car was illuminated for a second and not the next. I fell deep into my thoughts.

All of a sudden, my stomach felt warm. Ashton had placed his hand on it. I lowered my eyes to look at him before I let him be.

“Four months soon,” he uttered in a deep voice. “Do you want to go for a walk?”

I turned to look at him in mild surprise. Shouldn’t he be asking me about John right now? Why’s he talking about something else now?

“It’s busy at HiTech,” I replied as I pried his hand away from my stomach. “Fuller Corporation’s audit is almost completed. I’m just waiting for the report to be handed in now, but I still have Fuller Corporation to deal with next.”

After a short pause, I continued, “Ashton, why did you assign me to HiTech and Fuller Corporation’s audits?”

I had sensed that there was something that I could not wrap my mind around. After I took over the two cases, things were not going as smoothly as I expected.
