When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1694

When I wanted to push him awake, Ashton suddenly opened his eyes. Stunned by his actions, I almost screamed as I clutched my chest.

After a few seconds, he turned around and asked me puzzledly, “Why are you up so early?”

“A guest is waiting for us downstairs,” I answered. “What did you dream about?”

Drooping his eyelids, he quickly concealed his emotions and got up from the bed. “It’s nothing. Isn’t there a guest waiting for us? You should quickly get ready and head downstairs. Don’t make them wait for too long.”

Ashton thought he had hidden it well, but he did not know I had seen through him when he was asleep.

Many dilemmas had long been solved. Therefore, I was curious about the issue that troubled him so badly.

Seeing that he already had his jacket on, I quickly got ready to meet the guests.

As we rounded the staircase, I caught a glimpse of the man from the military. The officer was wearing a sharp suit, and a regal aura exuded off him. Although I could only see his back, his aura was hard to hide.

The two soldiers guarding beside the door seemed to be his guards. It looked like the man was someone influential.

After arriving at the last step of the staircase, Ashton greeted, “Sorry for the long wait.”

Upon hearing that, the officer stood up and shook hands with Ashton. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Fuller.”

After saying that, he nodded in my direction as a greeting.

The both of them sat down, and Ashton immediately cut to the chase. “May I know why you are here today?”

The man skipped the pleasantries and took a black wallet out from his pocket. “This is my identification document. I’m an officer at the 4th Brigade of District 8, mainly in charge of the anti-narcotics team near the border.”

Ashton took the documents in his hand and scanned through them with me. Then, he passed it back to him calmly. “Officer Zimmerman, may I know what we can do for you?”
