When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1829

Chapter 1829 It Has Been A Long Time

Nathaniel was a talented man, so Garrett was reluctant to take his life for real. In utter disappointment, he dismissed his subordinates. “Let them go.”

Perhaps he didn’t want to witness Nathaniel’s weak state, for he stormed out of the private room in a fit of rage.

When he had reached the door, he unwittingly halted in his tracks and snapped frostily, “I’m very disappointed in you.”

After saying that, he left without a backward glance.

It wasn’t until after his footsteps faded outside the corridor that all strength drained out of Nathaniel, and he collapsed onto the ground before me without warning.

If it weren’t for the bodyguards who rushed forward to save him, I would watch him die slowly without any hesitation.

It was clear as day that Garrett was far more rational than Nathaniel. Despite the latter having disappointed him greatly, he still sent some men to escort the injured and unconscious man and me back.

Of course, there was another possibility—he was afraid that Nathaniel would die at my hands.

If that was the case, it proved that they knew me all too well.

After Nathaniel was injured, the man in the suit moved into the Fuller residence to look after him 24/7. In fact, he guarded against me even more than he did Garrett’s subordinates.

That was all the better, for it gave me much more freedom than I usually had.

The afternoon after the day we came back, I planned to go out on the pretext of having some fresh air and return to the mall back then for a fortuitous meeting with the mysterious woman.

I applied light makeup and hid the note I had long since prepared into the hidden compartment in my backpack before I went downstairs.

When I bumped into the man in the suit at Nathaniel’s door, he cast a long look at me.

I reckoned he was wondering how there could be such a heartless woman in the world who was still in the mood to go shopping when his employer sustained such a severe injury because of her.
