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

The minute Ashton became more serious, his tone changed and became much calmer. He looked down in sorrow. “I’m just fighting a battle with myself, aren’t I?”

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

After successfully diverting my attention, he smiled and said self-deprecatingly, “Do you want to know about the ridiculous ideas I’ve been having recently? I started thinking about going back to the past and making different choices. Funny, isn’t it?”

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.

Everyone was the same. The moment someone became too free, they would begin to overthink. The more one overthought, the more one would lose control of their emotions, and that was dangerous.

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.”

His words were so pure it was almost as if I could see the altar and the priest asking us to exchange our vows.

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.
