When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1618

Ding!

When the elevator door opened, Ashton almost lifted me off my feet to carry me inside.

Only after the elevator started going down did the man loosen his grip. Angry at Ashton for what he did to me, I distanced myself as far away as the space allowed me to.

Ashton had his reasons for being so jealous, and I could understand what he was going through. After all, Marcus had made a move on me on more than one occasion.

However, I knew I could not live with myself if I pretended like I had no idea that Marcus was dying.

With both my hands on the elevator handrail, I suddenly thought of an idea to get the best of both worlds. With it, not only would I be able to sneak behind Ashton’s back, but I could also reignite Marcus’ will to live.

“Don’t even think about it.” Suddenly, Ashton’s harsh words severed my train of thoughts.

Embarrassed by how easily the man managed to see through me, I bit my lower lips defiantly before defending myself. “I don’t know what you’re referring to because I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

The man then narrowed his eyes at me and made a strange suggestion. “Why don’t you turn around?”

Baffled, I hesitantly did as Ashton said, only to find absolutely nothing behind me. All I could see was my own reflection on the metallic elevator wall.

“I don’t get it.”

“Take a good look at yourself,” demanded Ashton as he walked over to stand beside me. “You think that I’m incapable of being rational when it comes to anything related to Marcus, but what about you? Think about it. When have you ever not given in to your sympathy for the man?”
