When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1401

Just then, Millie passed through the crowd and approached me. Leaning towards my ear, she whispered, “Ms. Stovall, it’s not safe here. You need to leave with me.”

After we arrived at the island, Millie had come here with Ashton’s men and had been protecting me from the shadows. During this time, she had been finding out the situation on the island. As she was a mature and staid person, she was not easily flustered, but it was obvious from the tone of her voice that she was feeling a little panicky.

When I looked up and saw the somber expression on her face, I knew my suspicions had been confirmed.

“What’s going on?” I asked softly.

Millie frowned and replied, “While you were here, I spent the entire afternoon inspecting the nearby area. Armond brought a lot more men with him here. His subordinates are stationed all over the island. I followed a few of them secretly and found out that they were carrying explosives!”

When she said the last word, I could hear the tremor in her voice.

Just then, Joseph, who was beside Nora, took out his phone and took a glance at it. It seemed like he was also aware of the situation and pulled Nora and her baby towards us. After making sure that other bodyguards were protecting us, he walked towards Ashton and whispered into the man’s ear calmly.

Ashton did not react to what Joseph told him. It seemed as if it was all within his expectation, just like Sally’s appearance. Meanwhile, Armond had also noticed the interactions on our side and seemed to have guessed what was going on. With a dry laugh, he tossed his gun onto the ground and slumped down on the chair.

“We can all die together then. It’ll be nice to have company on the way to the netherworld. Hahaha… “

Upon hearing the man’s hysterical laughter, I took a deep breath instinctively.

It didn’t matter if we died. However, the kids were on the island too. We had gone through so much to find them. It didn’t make sense to put their lives in peril again.

Just then, Ashton instructed Joseph indifferently, “Joseph, take my wife to the kids and ensure that they stay together.”

“Understood!” Joseph nodded respectfully and quickly requested that I leave with him. “Mrs. Fuller, please come with me.”

I could not figure out what Ashton had in mind and was at a loss. I looked at him and knew that there was no way I would leave him here all by himself.
