When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

“How can I get over it?” As I was upset, I spoke in a very blunt manner. “You let her enter the office whenever she wants to and allow the staff to call her your fiancée. Yet, you still act so indifferently about it, as if it’s got nothing to do with you. Are you lying to yourself or to me, Ashton? What’s the point of all this?”

When he met my gaze, he suddenly laughed. “You allow John to shower you with concern, send you fruits and reminisce over good memories. Why can’t you tolerate Rebecca’s presence?”

Not expecting him to mention these things, I immediately seethed in fury. When I stood up abruptly, I almost lost my balance and fell. He tried to hold me, but I shoved him away. “Stay away from me!”

I stomped out of the office. When I opened the door, I saw Joe who was about to knock on the door. There was an awkward expression on his face, probably because he had overheard our conversation earlier.

“Did you have a fight?” He suddenly asked. I was stunned for a while before returning to my senses.

“No, Mr. Quinn. We aren’t a couple!” With that, I brushed past him and left.

Ashton caught up with me and grabbed my arm. “Where are you going, Scarlett?”

“It’s none of your business.” I flung his hand away and was about to leave when he dragged me back to the sofa. Looking at Joe, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Having witnessed this scene, Joe felt a bit embarrassed. “I’ve settled the matters regarding the European market. Jared and I are planning to celebrate tonight. Will you be coming along?”

Ashton glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. “Do you think that I can go?”

Joe was rendered speechless for a while before suggesting boldly, “Why don’t you bring Scarlett along? She can just refrain from drinking alcohol!”

“Do you want to go?” Ashton asked, still holding me.

“Is Rebecca going?” I asked Joe with a determined gaze.

Taken aback, he paused for a while before saying, “Yeah.”

I nodded. “I’ll go!”

Joe glanced at me, then back at Ashton. Without commenting any further, he left the office.

Ashton grabbed my hands. “What are you planning to do?”

I laughed. “What can I do? The Moore family is so powerful. It’s impossible for me to ruin

Rebecca, right? I just want to keep an eye on my husband. Why? You don’t want me to come?”

He said exasperatedly, “Your baby is about to be born. It’s not safe for you to roam about!”
