When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1790

I bumped into Emery while I was waiting for the elevator. “You’re done speaking to him?” she asked.

I nodded. “You’d have been able to see him if you came earlier.”

Emery rolled her eyes at me. “Are you crazy? I only came after I saw him leave.”

I shrugged nonchalantly. When a person like Emery had nothing to hide, she wouldn’t even hide the fact that she avoided him on purpose.

Since Emery was good at reading others’ thoughts, I pulled her back into the private room and told her the things that had happened in the past few days.

To my surprise, Emery wasn’t shocked to hear what I had to say.

“What’s the fuss about? When two people of the opposite sex were to mingle for a few days, feelings were bound to show up.” Emery was unfazed.

She did have a point. I pouted and said, “Well, I just didn’t expect it.”

“What do you mean? You didn’t expect him to be attracted to you?” Emery responded quickly. “But this has nothing to do with your attractiveness. Everything happened just because you’re Ashton’s woman. That’s why Nathaniel couldn’t resist you. He can try as hard as he may, but his jealousy and competitiveness would make him fall even harder for you. Men are all attracted to this sort of excitement in life.”

As I was listening, I understood why Nathaniel fell for me. In hindsight, the answer had been obvious all along. That man was so vain he thought he could own anyone and everyone around him. However, the competition between him and Ashton prompted him to come after me as well.

Nathaniel knew that I was the only person who could influence Ashton. Hence, I became a prized possession he desperately craved.
