When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1739

Chapter 1739 A Weight Lifted Off

I had no answer to that. While my brows uncontrollably knitted together, I knew deep within that it was a good thing Joseph’s wife was even more resilient than I expected, no matter the reason.

Flashing her a gratified gaze in return, I stepped forward and hugged her. “Men are always so ambitious that they leave us waiting. How selfish of them! But everything will be fine. After this busy period, I’ll give Joseph a long holiday so that he can spend more time with you and the children.”

I patted her on her delicate back though I myself was uncertain whether I was consoling her or myself.

Savannah probably never expected someone she was meeting for the first time to act so intimately, for she reflexively stiffened. When she had ascertained that I had no malicious intentions, she again relaxed.

A hug was undoubtedly an incredible thing, for I felt much more at peace after smelling the faint scent of shampoo wafting off her.

Just when I was about to drop my hands, she hugged me back in return, reaching out to pat me on the back stiffly. “Well, there’s no end to doing business. I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no choice sometimes, Mrs. Fuller. His sense of responsibility is also his charm. I love him, so I naturally love everything about him. Don’t worry. I won’t drag him down, Mrs. Fuller. He said that he’d make it up to me. Thus, I’ll continue to trust in him and wait. I’ll take good care of this family and myself on his behalf.”

After she had finished speaking, they dropped their hands from each other in unison.

With my eyes narrowed a fraction, I questioned tentatively, “Are you not worried?”

Hearing that, Savannah burst into laughter as though I had cracked a hilarious joke. “Why should I be worried?” she asked me in return.

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “I know the kind of person Joseph is, and I believe in him. Most importantly, I believe in my judgment. I wouldn’t have chosen the wrong person.”

She’s right. What is there to be worried about? And what uncertainties are there? Ashton is a man I chose myself, so how could someone else know him better than I do?

“I should have come and visited you earlier.” Enlightenment swept across me, banishing the uncertainties and doubts I had toward Ashton.
