When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1498

I was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh when I snapped back to my senses.

Ashton just got ignored!

Upon hearing my laughter, he shot daggers at me and I instantly felt his intimidating aura.

I quickly acted as though nothing had happened and walked towards the kids confidently.

Gregory was the first to notice me and he quickly strode towards me. “Mommy, you should bring us out next time. It’s so boring to stay at home. I want to spend time with you.”

Audrey then added, “Me too! I want to go out too! Mommy…”

Left without a choice, I could only agree for the moment. “Alright, alright. I’ll bring both of you out next time.”

A certain someone was still angry as he sat on the couch. It’s okay. You can treat me like I don’t exist all you want. I’m invisible after all.

Gregory, Audrey, and I played all afternoon and I only realized that John wasn’t home during dinner.

I was about to give him a call when he appeared at the entrance.

“I’m back.” John took off his coat and handed it to a maid as he walked over as if the place was his own home. “Hey, Audrey. Do you miss me?”

“Yes, I miss you!” she replied without any hesitation. “Come have a seat, Uncle John. Let’s have dinner.”

He had a huge smile on his face and he took a glance at Ashton as he pulled up a chair. His grin widened when he saw that the latter wasn’t smiling at all.

“Where have you been today?” I asked as I scooped some soup into a bowl for him.

“I went out to settle some stuff,” John replied. He took a sip of the soup and smacked his lips in satisfaction. Then, he asked while staring at his bowl of soup, “This tastes familiar. Did you make this?”

I smiled in response.

The moment he said those words, the atmosphere at the dining table turned so tense one could cut it with a knife. Ashton’s body exuded an aura that seemed to have lowered the temperature of his surroundings.

I had been paying attention to his eyes earlier. They were once calm and indifferent but they turned icy cold the moment John finished speaking.

This made me doubt that he had actually forgotten the past.

John, on the other hand, was acting as if nothing had happened even though he was the one who started it. He was still drinking his bowl of soup and was in an entirely different world as Ashton.

I rested my forehead in my hands. They were always in dispute and I wondered when it will finally end.

It would be a problem if they stayed in this tense situation and I was about to say something to ease the tension when a maid entered to inform us, “Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller, you have a guest.”

“Please let them in,” I said.

There was finally something to interrupt their situation. I was so afraid that it would be like the day they just met when John pressed Ashton down on the ground. His injuries had just recovered not too long ago so it was better to avoid any confrontations for the time being.
