When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1767

I could still see anger in Nora’s eyes. She stayed silent for several seconds, then lowered her head and stared at the phone in my hand. “Call Holden now. I need to see it with my own eyes,” she said in a commanding tone.

I forced a smile. Her worry was totally unnecessary. It was just a phone call. I would not go back on my words.

Immediately, I called Holden to put her mind at rest. After explaining the matter, I gave them each other’s contact numbers.

Nora looked at Holden’s name on her WhatsApp contact list and her expression softened. However, it was only for a split second as she soon returned to her usual cold demeanor. Casting a quick look at me, she put away her phone, turned around, and got into the car. “This isn’t the end.”

With that, she closed the car door with a bang and sped off.

Perhaps it was because I had the same experience of losing a child. Her neurotic behavior made me feel for her.

Only the people who had experienced it would know how torturing it was to search for a lost child. In the first half of her journey, she had been forced to work together with Nathaniel. I hoped that she would meet a good person for the remaining journey.

After Nora left, I kept waiting for Nathaniel to appear, but one day had passed, and I heard nothing from him.

The only thing that I could do was to comfort myself that it was normal. Nathaniel was always unpredictable and acting out of the norm.

Despite that, when the phone rang that night, I still sprung forward to answer it. When I saw that it was John, I lost my balance and slumped on the couch.

Looking down, I saw that my ankle was swollen. I rubbed it for a while, hoping to alleviate the pain before answering the call. “Hello?”

“What took you so long?” John sounded a little anxious.

Afraid that he would be worried, I took in a deep breath and replied calmly, “The phone is in the room. I just came up.”

Fortunately, he did not grow suspicious as he changed the topic naturally. “Nathaniel didn’t leave his villa for the whole day.”
