When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1402

At that thought, I slowed in my steps.

“Mrs. Fuller, please don’t worry. Everything is going according to Mr. Fuller’s plan,” Joseph suddenly said.

I froze, processing his words. “Did Ashton already know that Armond was intending to bomb the island?”

Joseph turned around and took a cautious look at Armond’s men, who were behind us. Then, he glanced at his phone before urging me to carry on walking.

I quickened my steps while looking at Joseph. “Tell me. How is Ashton intending to handle this?”

Joseph lowered his voice, and with a grim expression, he replied, “Armond’s men are scattered around the island, as such, their weaponry forces are not very concentrated. Two days ago, our men took control of one of the island’s piers. If Armond’s forces try to attack us, they will not be a match for us. We will be able to leave from that pier after meeting up with Mr. Gregory and Ms. Audrey.”

“What about Ashton? The golf course is already entirely under Armond’s control. How do you plan to rescue him?” I asked further while observing our surroundings, worried that something would crop up again.

Before Joseph could reply, I spotted the nanny with my babies. They were heading towards us, escorted by a few bodyguards.

The nanny was walking at a very fast pace, so the kids were understandably frightened by the bumpy journey. Audrey brawled as if she was in anguish, sounding extremely pitiful.

I rushed over and took Audrey from the nanny. At once, my little girl stopped crying. I heaved a sigh of relief, but sorrow filled my heart the next instant.

Now that the kids were here, the only one to rescue was Ashton.

“Mrs. Fuller, we should leave this place as soon as possible. Mr. Fuller’s instructions were for us to wait for him at the pier,” Joseph cut in, his voice piercing through my thoughts.

Perhaps it was because the man had worked for Ashton for a long time; he knew very well how to convince me. After considering for several seconds, I decided to send the kids to the pier first.

At the pier, Ashton’s men had already gotten ready the ships for us to leave in. Other rescue personnel was seen disembarking from the ships, and they were rushing towards the island. They aimed to get rid of Armond’s men as well as to buy Ashton more time.

After settling the kids, I waited for Ashton at the pier.

However, more than ten minutes soon passed, and he was still nowhere to be seen. I got impatient and asked Joseph, “Why is Ashton not here yet?”
