When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1817

Nathaniel was right about that. Ashton had occupied every inch of my mind and heart.

Good. Suffer in jealousy and boil in pain, Nathaniel. You deserve it.

I didn’t say anything even as I stared heartlessly at him.

That was what he deserved.

“You make me feel like I deserve this pain,” said Nathaniel while tilting his head down. He looked so pitiful at that moment.

The light only managed to illuminate a part of his face, but his long eyelashes were still visible. They were thick and beautiful, proving that the Hall family’s genes were superior.

Unfortunately, his beauty was his only good attribute. Everything else was horrible.

It didn’t take long before he started muttering, “It’s fine. This is not your fault. I’m doing this out of my own free will.”

Nathaniel paused for a moment. His spirit glowed with determination once more, and when he looked at me, his eyes shone with compromise. “I’m at fault. I didn’t do a good job and haven’t learned how to be a decent man. Will you teach me how to be that man? Tell me how I can grow to be the man you can love.”

Right at that moment, I learned just how ridiculous a man could be when he was in love. Nathaniel was lying to himself and was in denial. He used to be the man who wanted to be my one and only, but now… Now, he was so pitiful that he simply wanted me to look his way.

All that crushed the last bit of sanity I had left in me.

I crossed my arm and secretly massaged myself to warm myself up. Then, I turned over calmly to say, “You can’t do what I ask of you, but keep making random gestures that I never wanted. You may claim that you love me and may say that you’re doing everything for my sake, but all I see is how you did all that to present yourself as the hero. In short, we are too different, and there is nothing I can teach you.”

Nathaniel’s expression changed once more. At that moment, I could almost see the black and terrifyingly chilly aura exuding out of him.

Is he angry? Are my words too harsh and unbearable? Good! Suffer, you jerk. It won’t be fair until this jealousy slowly consumes your sanity and teaches you what it feels like to suffer from insomnia and a complete loss of appetite.

The agonizing silence dragged on. Nathaniel broke that silence by spitting his words through his gritted teeth. “Ashton never loved you, but you keep changing your stance and belief for him. On the other hand, I have done nothing but compromise for you. Yet, you repay me with this sort of insanely strict treatment. That is not fair, Scarlett!”
