When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1372

“Just give me the kids,” Christopher cut in, “I’ll handle Ashton.”

While Christopher spoke, I moved close to the phone, immediately crossing my arms to distract him while I dialed Ashton’s number.

I supposed Ashton would have known that he had been tricked by now.

As expected, he answered the call almost immediately.

After turning off the screen while leaving the phone on, I casually walked up to Christopher.

“You want my kids because you want them to inherit your family business,” I stated, “But why don’t you consider Ashton? Is it because of his mother? Do you hate Ashton because of something his mother did?”

That assumption sounded awful coming out of my mouth, but that was the only way I could think of the clear all the misunderstandings.

We all need closure from broken relationships.

He laughed. “I thought you would know the answer, given how you had him investigated into before.”

“How did…”

“Enough!”

Before I could complete my sentence, Ashton’s furious voice roared from the other end of the phone.

Both Christopher and I could all hear him, even though I had not turned on the speaker. He must be at his breaking point.

I could not imagine the pain he had to go through after knowing why his father left him to fend for himself.

The moment Christopher heard his voice, his eyes flitted around the room, trying to trace the source. He knitted his brows when he realized what I had done and shot me a disdainful look.

He stood up, walked to the phone, and raised his brows. “You’ve married a capable wife, Ashton, but trust me, one day, you’ll let her down. I would advise you to give me the children as soon as possible. There’s no point in fighting to the death over this.”

With that said, he got up and left.
