When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1740

Shaun’s answer wasn’t what I expected. I shifted my gaze to him, but his face was solemn, and he didn’t look as though he was lying.

A wealth of warmth suffused me, and a smile blossomed on my face out of the blue. I was happy on Summer’s behalf that she had such a thoughtful and considerate brother.

Good things really do come at a turning point in time. Does this also mean that everything about Ashton will also soon usher in a change?

“That’s a matter for the adults. You’re still young, so you merely need to study hard and grow up healthily. Audrey has feelings of sorrow, and you can have your own feelings as well. You don’t need to live for any of us. Do you understand me?”

I then patted him on the shoulder in gratification. Although I was moved, I still had to guide him on the right path.

Shaun pursed his lips tightly without saying anything in response, so I wasn’t sure whether I got through to him.

Ah, it doesn’t matter. There’s still plenty of time, so there’ll certainly be time to teach him slowly in the future. He’s a boy, so I’ll wait for Ashton to come back and call the shots. ”Anyway, just do whatever you want to do in the future. You don’t need to deliberately please anyone. Most importantly, make sure that you’re happy. Got it?”

“But I want to do this. I want to make Summer happy. Can I not do that, Mrs. Fuller?” Shaun gazed at me stubbornly.

Faced with such an innocent question, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

Perhaps I’m really too sensitive. He’s just a child who knows how to be grateful, so I truly shouldn’t use the yardstick of the adult world to evaluate his every action. A child’s world is pure and without ulterior motives. They don’t know what it means to pander to someone. They only know who is good to them, repaying the person in the same manner. He only wants the girl who gave him a family to be happy. There’s nothing wrong with that.

“Of course you can.” Smiling, I shook my head and put the document in my hand back on the desk. Then I ruffled his hair. “You can continue reading if you want to do so, but promise me that you’ll go to bed right away if you feel sleepy. Also, you can’t stay up later than three o’clock in the morning. Can you do that?”

In a rare moment, a trace of delight crept onto his features. He nodded firmly. “Yes.”
