When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1288

One’s eyes and tone would never lie. During my video call with Ashton, the exhaustion he felt from dealing with Thora and the enthusiasm in his voice when he spoke with me was enough for me to ascertain his stance. If I was unable to trust him at this stage, I really didn’t deserve his love at all.

“John, you and Ashton are actually the same, thinking that getting on someone’s nerves will always work. Do you think women are that easily cheated?” Suddenly, Emma interrupted with a strange tone in her voice.

Having heard her comment, John’s expression changed at once. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he quickly walked away into the crowd.

“What happened?” Given how rare it was for John to be cowed, I found it both strange and hilarious.

“I don’t know what got into him. The last time he came over to my company to discuss your law firm’s logo, he brought a girl with him. He should have at least chosen one with a clean reputation. Instead, the girl he brought had appeared in the tabloids before with countless other men. It was obvious that he was lowering his own self-worth just by doing that.” Emma glared angrily at John’s silhouette.

As I followed where her gaze leads, I couldn’t help but smile. John oh John, you may be adept at dealing with someone else’s problems. But when it comes to your own, you’re not mindful at all.

“So, what did you do after that?” I asked curiously.

“I went downstairs and bought him ten packs of condoms. Then, I told him to use a couple more every single time and to visit the hospital whenever he was free. He shouldn’t put his life at risk just for the sake of having a sex life. I finally realize that it’s not my fault that he doesn’t like me. Instead, he has really strange tastes!”

“Pfft…”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter and applaud Emma in my heart. “Emma, I gotta say, your reaction was really harsh.” Furrowing her eyebrows, Emma was both upset and curious as to why I was laughing at her.

Nevertheless, I still couldn’t contain my laughter. Even if Emma didn’t say it out loud, I could still imagine the stunned look on John’s face. This time, he had finally met his match. He assumed that he could do the same to Emma as he did to Hannah. But contrary to his expectations, his plan backfired horribly.

“Ms. Stovall.”

Suddenly, a cordial voice rang out in my ear, causing the smile on my face to freeze. It wasn’t until it faded away that I finally turned around.
