When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1765

I wondered if Ashton would continue his pretense if he found out that his beloved daughter was so discontented with him.

However, I could not explain the situation to the kids, so I could only educate them indirectly. Putting down the spoon, I looked at her seriously and said, “Audrey, did Uncle John tell you that there are many children in this world who don’t have enough food to eat? In order to support them, their parents have to leave their hometown and work at a place far away from home. For a year or maybe many years, those children won’t be able to see their parents.”

Holding her spoon, Audrey blinked and nodded. “Yes, Aunt Emma showed me their photos before. She also told me that those children’s parents are dead. If Uncle John donates money to them, they will have food to eat, and Mommy will also come back to me. Aunt Emma wasn’t lying.”

For a brief moment, I was stunned, not knowing that John had done all that to look for me.

Someone fearless like him had actually believed that life would reward him for his good deeds.

Not hearing any news from me must have left him in despair, but fortunately, fate had reunited us.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to get hold of my emotions before continuing, “Yes. Without money and a home, you’ll end up like those children. They might not be able to eat all the food that you’re eating now in their whole life. Because of Daddy’s hard work, you can live in a cozy house and eat delicious meals every day. Do you think it’s right for you to say he’s a bad guy?”

“No, but…” Audrey pursed her lips, and her voice trailed off.

“I know what you mean. Daddy has indeed neglected us during this time, but we’re the closest people to him. Shouldn’t we be more considerate of him?” I stretched out my hand and caressed her hair. “Do you know that he always says that you’re his beloved daughter?”

I did not know which sentence had moved her. In an instant, she was on the verge of tears again. “I’m sorry, Mommy. I was wrong.”
