When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1764

“Well, that does make sense.” Emery quirked her eyebrows and did not continue the topic. She lowered her head and started to eat.

I looked at her and remembered about Hunter, so I queried, “What about you and Xavier’s father?”

“What about us?” Emery did not even lift her head and was all focused on eating.

If she was being so open about it, it proved that there was nothing between them. If something was up, just like Alexander, she would have acted awkwardly.

Thinking of that, I did not pursue the matter any further. “Oh, it’s nothing. I happened to meet him earlier today.”

Emery was unbothered. She placed a piece of abalone on my plate and commented, “I’ve hired a new chef, and he’s really good at cooking seafood. Hurry up and try it…”

When I left The Jade, my phone rang. It was a message from John: How is it? Was it successful?

It seemed that it was the same for everyone. No one knew what Nathaniel would do and could only wait for a relatively safe time to ask about the result.

Even though I was not utterly confident, my intuition told me that it was not much of a problem. Thus, I replied jokingly: Have confidence in your acting skills.

Soon, I received a text from him: Then it’s done.

After a while, he sent me another message: You can’t have possibly used the excuse of acting to voice out your true feelings, right? When you said that you would choose Ashton over me, I felt so upset.

And it seemed that being too engrossed in acting was not a good thing either. I smiled while typing on the phone: I cried hard after you left. Do you feel better now?

John: Yeah. Now, we only have to wait and see what will happen tomorrow.

After that, he stopped replying to me.

Hence, I placed my phone aside and entered the car.
