When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1581

I didn’t know what he meant, but I still found his sudden sorrow interesting and looked up subconsciously.

I smiled and didn’t reply.

Sometimes, being imaginative was a good thing. At the very least, it meant that Ashton was beginning to let go of his dark past. Whether it was realistic or not was another story, because all I could ever really sense were whatever perverted thoughts he was having in his head every night.

“You should get a new hobby,” I said absentmindedly. He clearly had way too much free time on his hands.

His smile became even brighter. “I’m happy with the life I’m leading right now. Having a wife and kids is my favorite hobby.”

I started to suspect if he had gone anywhere recently, like a sweet-talking 101 class, perhaps. He had recently become much too smooth with his words.

I was certainly touched, but based on what I knew about him, there was an underlying innuendo directed at me. The moment I agreed, I would have to pay the price.

I decided not to do that.

Instead, I pulled my hand out of his grip again and became serious. “Let’s talk about the actual issue right now. It’ll be hard to do it at home.”

I silently gave myself a pat on the back for getting rid of the lovey-dovey atmosphere that was beginning to develop.

Ashton sat up straight, slightly disappointed at his failed plan. “It’s not like we can stop Audrey from ever falling in love and getting married, right? Since we’ll have to go through this sooner or later, then we might as well keep an eye on him since young. We’ll be able to get a proper look at him and lower any risks. It makes sense, doesn’t it?”

Something sounded a little bit off with what he was implying.

Ashton suddenly started to look more and more like a dragon, and Audrey had become the treasure trove he was protecting from pirates and princes alike.

Danger had helped the human race evolve, but it seemed to have the opposite effect on Ashton.

Everyone was their own individual. Even if we gave them clothes, food, and a roof over their heads, that still didn’t give us the right to decide their whole lives for them. It seemed more ridiculous the more I thought about it.

I really hope he was just joking out of concern for Audrey.

“These are all secondary,” Ashton said again. He had gotten rid of his previous attitude and sat with his fingers intertwined on top of his lap. His stare pierced through the gap between the door and the driver’s seat as he glared at the car in front of us, which Shaun happened to be inside of. “That kid is determined. He’s not going to take the easy way out, but he’s also extremely versatile. What happened today might leave a mark on him. Both you and I know that the seed of hate flourishing in him is only a matter of time. There are two ways to settle this: first, we could make him disappear forever.”
