When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1466

“Let him go,” Ashton said, not bothering to raise his head as he stared silently into space. There was no way to tell whether or not he had even listened to what the doctor said.

When the doctor left, Ashton fell back into his own thoughts. His expression remained indifferent, and his emotions were hidden, causing others to be afraid to approach him.

Although I was not afraid, I did not dare to provoke him either. Thus, I sat to one side and waited patiently.

A long time later, Ashton eventually gathered his thoughts and pulled me out of the hospital.

Only after driving for a while did Ashton speak. His voice was low and deep. “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Do I even have a say in front of you, Mr. Fuller? You should decide.” I suddenly thought of something and asked, “We’re not going back to eat?”

Ashton did not reply and simply parked the car after turning the corner. By the side of the road was a restaurant selling local cuisine.

Helpless, I followed him out of the car as I muttered absently to myself, “Gregory’s going to be so lonely eating by himself.”

Ashton stopped in his tracks and glanced at me with an expression that said he knew it well, signaling that I did not need to worry about Gregory.

How could I not worry about it? Children were aware and had their own thoughts as well. Once he realized that the adults had left him to fend for himself, he’d feel so wronged.

Who knows how long our mother and son relationship will last. As long as I’m still his mother, I won’t just leave him alone!

Just as I prepared to go home alone, Ashton’s voice rang out. “The peak hour in K city will at least last until ten at night. There’re two more hours to go. Are you sure you’re not hungry?”

“I can bear…”

Just as the word “bear” left my mouth, my stomach growled loudly.

Ever since I woke up, I had constantly taken all three meals on time. Even if a meal was late, I always had snacks lying around. Therefore, as I had been getting a checkup the entire afternoon, my stomach had been long empty. Needless to say, I was hungry.

There was nothing more embarrassing than that exact moment.

Ashton narrowed his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face. It was as if he had seen through my words.

Obviously, there was no use in trying to act tough anymore. Thus, I continued walking into the store while blushing.

Ashton took a seat opposite me, then passed me the menu.

Surprised, I widened my eyes. He’s so kind?

I glanced over the menu before returning it to him while keeping vigilant. “You order. I’m not picky.”
