When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1493

This must be the first time Joseph had lied to Ashton. As a heavy silence ensued, he kept his gaze on the ground lest Ashton saw through his lie.

John had been waiting in the hallway all along. As we had stopped talking, he strolled in and uttered, “It has been ages since that accident happened. You had your reservations about us, but did your family show themselves? You might’ve lost your memory, but did you forget what it was like to be a disowned son?”

Nothing on earth was worse than being compared.

Ashton had been under the Halls’ control for the past six years, but from what I know, his house was miles away from the Hall residence. In private, they led separate lives. Ashton didn’t really have friends, so he could stay at home for a few days without having to go out.

However, as Ashton had lost his memory, he became easily provoked and agitated. John’s words only served to amplify the Hall family’s indifference.

After meeting John’s gaze for several seconds, Ashton caved in calmly. “You’ve made up your mind. Can I even say no?”

With that, he rose to his feet and went after the kids.

John chuckled at his retreating figure. “I’ve underestimated him. He acts like a live-in son-in-law, but he’s still hot-tempered and annoying as usual.”

“It must’ve been hard on him.” I hurriedly changed the topic. “Tomorrow, Ashton and I will be going to Fuller Corporation. Get someone to inform the Halls, especially Nathaniel.”

“Got it.” John nodded. Before he left, he went to Gregory’s room and watched the kids having fun with a wide grin on his face.

I chuckled and shook my head in exasperation. In the end, they were all kind despite their sharp tongues.

Joseph was here on business, so he kept Ashton in the study for the entire night. Nothing much happened after that.

The next day, after sending the kids to school, Ashton dressed up smartly.
