When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1671

“Oh, wait. Does that mean…” I trailed off, realization dawning on me.

Despite everything she said, she still couldn’t bring herself to cut connections with Alexander!

All this time, Emery had been secretly watching as he fought to win her love back. His messages were read but ignored, and his phone calls that came through were deliberately missed. Although she had betrayed none of her emotions, she had been struggling to hold herself back from accepting him as well. That was until she finally caved.

Before this, I always thought Emery showed impressive rationality when it came to relationships and was capable of weighing her advantages and disadvantages in each relationship accurately, whether it was in the case of Hunter or Alexander. Even if she might not step back from them completely, she would always keep herself in the most invulnerable position possible.

However, this rationality obviously did not apply to a relationship with a man like Alexander. Judging from her behavior, it was evident that he had turned into an irregular variable in her life.

I leaned against Ashton’s chest, patting him lightly. “How is it that you know so much about Emery? Have you sent someone to spy on her on something?”

“Of course not.” He reached out to hold my hand. “Alexander’s current status could be considered top in the industry right now. There are eyes on him at all times. I hardly need a spy to know what he’s been up to. However, I won’t deny I’ve indeed taken action a few times to help those two suppress news about themselves.”

His words clearly implied that the news was sexual in nature. Eyes widening, I giggled as I playfully probed him to reveal more. “News? What sort of news?”

Suddenly, he turned over and lay pressing down on me. By the time I caught on, he already had my arms locked above my head in a death grip. “Since you’re so interested in the details, why don’t I let you experience them for yourself?”

With that, his other hand slithered beneath the hem of my lingerie and traveled upward, asserting its presence on my body.

Realizing that he was serious about it, I immediately pleaded, “I’m sorry, Hubby! It was a mistake. I promise I won’t ask about it again. Please, let me go!”

Lowering his head toward mine, he rubbed his nose against mine fondly. “How dare you reject me after accepting my gift?”

“Huh?” I froze, utterly stunned. “Y-You mean the s-soup you prepared for me earlier? So this is where you were going with it?”

I should have known he couldn’t possibly have done that without any ulterior motives!
