When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1453

Although Gregory was only six years old, he was bright enough to understand what was happening.

He wished I could stay because he knew someone would become Mrs. Fuller in the end, but he wasn’t willing to accept others as his mother.

I had a lot to do for him to accept me as his mother.

Well, such a process can’t be rushed.

I quickly kept my feelings in check after spacing out momentarily. Thora had tried to please him for so many years, yet to no avail. So how could I hope to gain his acceptance in just one day?

I leaned in to take the young boy into my arms. “Greg, how about I make some of your favorite dishes for dinner tonight?”

“I would love that!” In the end, he was just a child. Excitement was bursting from him at the mere mention of food. It seemed he had forgotten all about his worries from earlier on.

After dinner, I took a warm shower.

I heard my phone ping when I was busy blow-drying my hair.

There weren’t many contacts on my phone – only Emery and Marcus. It must be an emergency if it was from them.

However, when I reached the door, Ashton was sitting behind the bar in the living room naked other than a towel wrapped around his lower half.

He was staring sightlessly into space that he didn’t even notice me.

How can he maintain such a body at his age? That obvious V-shape that trails underneath the towel looks so sexy.

When my brain cleared, Ashton was standing in front of me. His muscular chest was nearly touching my breasts as his dark eyes studied me intently. “Like what you see?”

My entire body shrunk backward, and my face heated. “I didn’t…”

I straightened my back, remembering that we were in my room. “Why are you in my room?”

Ashton lowered his eyes with a deadpan look. “This is my bedroom.”
