When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1267

I was still steeped in anger, knowing that Hunter had cheated on Emery. And the more I looked at Ashton, the more I was reminded of Rebecca, which only made me even angrier.

“If you could tell, why didn’t you say anything? Are all men alike? Do you all always help one another keep your dirty secrets?”

“You didn’t come clean to Emery either, did you?” Ashton said with a frown.

Fine. He’s right.

“Didn’t you also think that there was nothing more to Rebecca becoming closer to you?” I retorted as a sudden urge to cry came over me.

For two years, I had been so troubled over the affairs of the heart that I never had a good night’s sleep. I continued to be plagued by those memories even to this day.

Ashton’s expression softened as he held my gaze. “If I had known I’d fall for you, I never would have made you sad.”

I bit down on my lip as I saw the sincerity in his eyes. An immeasurable amount of warmth filled my heart and I felt myself even more on the verge of tears.

Even though Ashton had made mistakes in the past, he never went to the extent of going all the way with Rebecca. On the other hand, Hunter had no problem betraying his love when faced with the temptation of the flesh.

“Can we go home now?” Ashton’s voice once again brought me out of my daze.

“You go on first. I feel like going over to Emery’s,” I mumbled, still trying to hold back my tears.

“Emery doesn’t need your pity now,” Ashton replied. “The fact that she could act like nothing was wrong even when her love rival had turned up shows how much she values her pride. Do you want to ruin that for her?”

“I don’t!”

“Then it’s best to leave it be and let her handle it on her own. Go home now. It’s almost time for your injection.”

Even after so long, Ashton still never failed to surprise me. “I thought you’d know Hunter better since you’re both men. Who knew you’d relate with Emery even more,” I remarked.

“Is that weird?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t think it’s weird at all,” he replied as he pushed the button for the elevator. “You’re my wife, Emery’s your friend, and Hunter’s not. It’s obvious who I would understand more, isn’t it?”
