When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1840

In spite of that, I hoped that he would continue with his folly.

After all, not every mistake can be forgiven.

That night, Nathaniel didn’t come home.

The next day, when I was still in a daze, I was jolted awake by a commotion downstairs.

After adjusting my night robe, I got out of bed. Just when I drew the curtains and wanted to admonish the new guards, I saw Nick surrounded by the four of them, and they seemed to be in an altercation.

With no time to be bothered about how I looked, I darted downstairs at once.

Just when I passed by the door, one of the subordinates was giving Nathaniel a call. “Mr. Hall, there’s someone by the name of Nick Harrison causing trouble here. What should—”

Stopping in my tracks, I snatched the phone away and yelled into it. “This is a family matter. I’ll get him to leave, so don’t get involved!”

Just as I spoke, I ended the call before Nathaniel could reply. After hurling the phone back at the subordinate, I rushed out to save Nick.

“What are you doing? Let him go! Didn’t you hear me? I order you to let him go!”

When they refused to release him, I jumped in and struck off their hands instead.

As they didn’t dare hurt me, they simply watched as I pulled Nick into the house.

Inside, I could vaguely hear them reporting back to Nathaniel. But, I was already used to it by now.

Inside the living hall, I released my grip on Nick. After exchanging glances, both of us suddenly descended into silence.

Rose’s funeral was held just a week ago. Given how closely Nathaniel’s men were watching me, I was unable to attend in person. But from what I could see on the television, the Walker family and Rose’s child looked utterly devastated.

The incident was classified as a suicide attack against society at large because the perpetrator was an innocent child from one of the poorest regions in the nation.
