When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1550

At that moment, I felt that I was too cynical. I had assumed that a child would behave in the same way as a scheming adult.

“Alright,” said Ashton. He didn’t seem to be suspicious of anything, he just nodded and excused Shaun. “It’s getting late, you should go get some rest.”

“Yes, sir.” Shaun bowed slightly in a respectful manner and turned to leave the living room.

Everything was silent once again. I noticed that Ashton’s gaze was pinned on Shaun’s retreating back. Evidently, he was just as suspicious of him as I was.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

Hearing my voice, Ashton turned to face me. Out of nowhere, he said, “No matter how obedient or cultured he may sound, these are not reasons for him to stay and get close to Audrey.”

After saying that, he lifted the cup of hot tea to his lips. He then took his time savoring the tea and did not say anything else.

Since our thoughts were aligned, there was no need to say everything out loud. Seeing that Ashton was as concerned as I was, the uneasiness that I felt arising out of worry for my daughter’s safety was repressed.

The next day, Ashton woke up early in the morning. After having breakfast, he took Gregory and me to the villa in the western suburbs.

The normal accompanying staff was replaced by M Country mercenaries who were hired by John. After they changed into casual clothes, they were put under Millie’s command.

Joseph was already waiting at the entrance of the villa.

“Where is she?” Ashton asked coldly.

“In the master bedroom on the first floor. Ms. Hall kept begging for us to get a doctor…”

Ashton simply ignored what he said and went into the villa with long strides.
