When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1633

She brought her hand down on the table with a loud slam and shot to her feet. “I’m saying this loud and clear now. Marcus is a wimp!”

Not only were we taken aback, but even Tobias froze upon witnessing his mother’s burst of temper for the first time.

 

Everyone’s attention was riveted on Camelia, and time seemed to have stopped for a moment.

However, her menacing attitude faded away almost as quickly as it manifested. Immediately after, her shoulders sagged, and tears welled up in her red-rimmed eyes. As she tried to get a hold of her unraveling emotions, her mouth pressed into a thin line.

Alas, she lost the battle, and the dam broke.

 

She used to be a sheltered, naive girl. However, her world was turned upside down since she met Marcus, and she had been torn apart in the name of love.

Now that Marcus fell ill, she thought that he would need to rely on her, and she could stay with him forever. However, he chose death instead. What a sick joke.

She knew he had given up, and that was the last straw that broke her composure.

 

A wave of emotion assailed me, and the back of my eyes prickled with tears.

Tobias’ voice trembled, sounding scared and pained. “Mom, are you okay?”

The sight of the mother who was on the verge of breaking down and her visibly upset child was chipping away at my empathy. If I didn’t come apart at the seams, I would definitely be affected by my surroundings.

Ashton’s hand tightened on mine, pulling it forward and placing it on his chest.
