When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1586

I couldn’t hold in my laugh. “You’re getting really good at this. I don’t think I’ll be able to catch you when you lie to me from now on!”

Ashton curled his lips, tightened his hold on me, and said, “We’re married. You can’t call that a lie. It’s more like a tease.”

“So you’re actually thinking of lying to me?” I pulled a hand out and pinched his nose, stopping him from breathing.

Rather than getting upset, Ashton broke into a laugh and eventually reversed the situation after some hassle, where he pinched my cheeks instead.

“You done?” Ashton subdued me and gave me a rather meek warning.

“No.” I did not know why, but I just wanted to rebel against him.

Ashton did not know how to deal with me. So, he casually tightened his pinch hold, which prompted me to yell, “Woah! This is domestic violence! I’m crying…”

He was at a loss and let go. So, I took the opportunity to tackle and pin him down.

That made Ashton admit defeat and carefully lay there. His hands were on my waist because he was worried I might get hurt. “Alright, Ms. Stovall. You win. What’s my punishment?” he said after letting out a deep sigh.

“That’s no fun.” I got down of him and lay beside him.

It was less of a high since the win was too easy.

With that, Ashton turned to the side and looked at me enthusiastically with his chin on his hand. “Aren’t you still upset at the thing with Nathaniel?”

“What can that do?” I questioned, suddenly feeling more carefree about the matter.

Be it money laundering or Nathaniel. There was no escape for me. I only acted weird because my emotions got the better of me. There was nothing to be afraid of once it was over.

Being married was such a peculiar thing. One simple banter and all that negative emotions would instantly disappear. It felt better than talking to a psychiatrist.

When I snapped out of it, I realized Ashton did not answer. So, I turned around to find him with his eyes closed.
