When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1179

Right after we left the school, Emery took me and Summer shopping. Hunter’s performance appraisal for the professor was around the corner. Therefore, she was going to pick a tuxedo personally for him.

It was quiet in the branded store we entered. While Emery was choosing the suit, Summer and I waited on the sofa patiently.

Emery had always been a generous woman, usually buying whatever she had her eyes on when she was out shopping. However, she zoned out several times that day while staring blankly at the suit, seeming to be exceptionally careful in choosing the clothing. Upon seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but tease, “Professor Zane’s position has improved a lot ever since he became your husband.”

Upon hearing that, Emery tilted her head, looking at me in disdain with her pretty eyes. “Was I treating him badly when he was my boyfriend?”

“Nope.” I smiled and patted Summer’s head gently. “It’s just rare to see you being so serious when buying things. Is the appraisal very important?”

Emery put away the suit in her hand and took two steps forward towards me before she answered absent-mindedly, “Not really. It shouldn’t be a problem for him.”

She had never been one to hide her emotions, so they were written all over her face. I noticed something off about her and asked, “Are you and Professor Zane doing well?”

Subconsciously, her strange behavior paired with my question reminded me of the fact that she hadn’t replied to my message the previous night. Emery’s alcohol tolerance was higher than most, and she always knew what she was doing. Besides, she was the one who always drank someone under the table. She seldom got drunk. In fact, it was actually a poor excuse of her being drunk and not replying to me, but only now did I realize that.

The topic I brought up halted her in her tracks for a while. Soon, she turned her back to me and pretended as if she was picking a suit. “What kind of question is that? There’s simply nothing you can do with those girls around Ashton, but not me. Don’t even think of getting off so easily if anyone is trying to mess with my man.”
