When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1789

As I watched him dashing away, I continued sipping my tea with great satisfaction.

You can never escape my clutches, Nathaniel. As long as I am still alive, you’ll be my prisoner.

It was exactly like what Ashton did to me for four years when I was still in R Province. I’ll toy you around while making sure that you can’t get rid of me.

After Nathaniel left, I rang Emery. I was hoping that she could get Alexander to meet me.

“Okay, I’ll try. I can’t promise you that he’ll show up,” Emery said hesitantly.

I wondered if she was making a fool out of me because I knew Alexander wouldn’t say no to her.

Just as I expected, Alexander agreed to meet at The Jade that afternoon.

Evidently, he didn’t know I was the one requested to meet him. When he entered the private room, he casually blurted, “Emery, it didn’t take long for you to forgive me…”

He immediately stopped speaking when he saw me inside. Embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and asked, “Scarlett? What are you doing here? Where’s Emery?”

While asking, he swept a cursory glance around the room, searching for Emery.

“Stop looking around. I was the one who requested to see you. Emery isn’t here.” I raised my head and pointed at the sofa next to me. “Sit.”

Immediately, he turned moody. Before I could even speak a word, he blurted out, “I know you’re here for Emery. Honestly, I didn’t do anything wrong to her. It was my mom who arranged that woman for me. I’m not even interested in her. Hence, it wouldn’t affect my feelings for Emery.”

Then, he leaned back and rested his head on the sofa. “I know I’m younger by a few years. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a grown man. It has been seven years. Don’t any of you see my sincerity?” he grumbled.

Then and there, I got a grasp on the situation. Alexander approached another woman because of his family’s arrangement. Hence, he wasn’t on good terms with Emery.

That’d explain Emery’s hesitation when I asked her to ask Alexander out. She just wanted to avoid him.

“I’m not here for that,” I answered. “But I do believe you care for Emery.”
