When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1441

Marcus looked at me directly. “I already gave you the answer.”

His answer dashed my fantasies. “Oh, ok.”

You look alike, but you’re not the same.

This whole mess is because of my face.

“Are you disappointed?” Marcus hit the nail on the head.

I shook my head, hiding my true feelings. “No, I’m glad it’s resolved. I don’t have to worry about this anymore; it’s a relief. I only regret that I’m not Gregory’s mother.”

Marcus said jokingly, “If you’ve changed your mind about kids, I’m always ready to make a baby with you.”

“Pfft.” I rolled my eyes and snatched the water out of his hands. “You’re still trying to take advantage of me after admitting that you’ve been lying to me for years? Don’t make me kick you to the curb!”

Marcus’ head injury didn’t stop him from using his arm. He held his glass easily as he whined, “You’re going to treat a patient like this?”

I glared at him and dropped the subject.

Though my memories hadn’t returned, that didn’t mean I was a muddled mess.

There were too many mysteries surrounding Marcus. I would unravel them one by one once he had recovered.

Marcus spent six years taking care of me in the hospital. That was proof enough that he didn’t bear any ill will toward me.

Drowsy after the meal, Marcus soon fell into a deep sleep. I left to get some fresh air in the corridor.

My phone began ringing just as I sat down. It was an unknown number.

I had a sinking feeling that the caller was my cold neighbor. This sort of mysteriousness suited him.

I checked on Marcus through the window. He was sound asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily with each breath.

Once I ascertained his safety, I picked up the call. “Hello, may I know who’s calling?”

A familiar voice drifted through the receiver. “Ms. Stovall.”
