When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1511

“You must be exaggerating. Do you really think I’m gullible like Audrey?” John grew impatient.

Disregarding his reluctance, I snatched the coffee cup from him and placed it on the coffee table. “Well, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You’re not young anymore, and you should take good care of your body for both Emma and Drew’s sake. Your family needs you.”

John was rendered speechless. With a pitiful expression, he smacked his lips but said nothing.

That was when Ashton suddenly added, “However, when a person abruptly stops consuming caffeine, it can also cause caffeine withdrawal symptoms such as arrhythmia, abnormal gastric secretion, and constant anxiety.”

“Now what?” I pulled a long face. Who’s side is he taking?

Ashton remained composed as he took a seat opposite me. “Well, that means he can still drink coffee while gradually reduce his caffeine intake.”

Both John and I rolled our eyes at him. His words didn’t accomplish anything.

“That’s it! Now let’s cut to the chase.” John had grown impatient after waiting for us for a long time. “Did they stop you when you tender your resignation today?” he asked Ashton.

“Well, I eventually managed to resign though it was not without a hurdle.”

Then, Ashton briefly told John about our day at Fuller Corporation.

John nodded thoughtfully. “So, Nicolas and Nathaniel didn’t show up?”

That was the same thing that was bothering me as well. “Well, since we have spread the news, I suppose it’s just a matter of time before they show up.”

As if something had hit me, I then asked, “Did your men receive any news?”

Hearing my question, John’s expression grew serious. He cast a meaningful glance at Ashton, making it clear that he regarded the latter untrustworthy.

After having recovered my memories, I had only managed to take care of the situation in the country. On the other hand, the one who plotted all these was able to come up with a countermeasure in such a short time and reached the elders in M Country.

If it wasn’t for John’s wariness, we might be stuck in a difficult position again.

Yet, this time, I trusted Ashton.

In the face of John’s suspicion, I held Ashton’s hand and made my stance clear, “John, Ashton is not the one behind this. I believe there must be a misunderstanding.”

Gazing at me with disappointment in his eyes, John let out a deep sigh. “Didn’t you hear him admitting it earlier? Oh, Letty, it’s time for you to wake up and smell the coffee. Life is not only about love. You’ve died once. Don’t make the same mistake twice.”

I knew it was John’s earnest advice, yet I insisted on following my heart and believed in Ashton.

I tightened my grip on Ashton’s hand. With a wry smile, I uttered, “I’ve died once, and that’s why I know how precious a man is when he was willing to humble himself to become a live-in son-in-law.”
