When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404

WAS

By the time Camelia came out, the cab was already long gone. All she saw was Marcus frowning in frustration.

I didn’t want to know what happened to Marcus after the accident. Since we were leading our own separate lives, I felt it better to keep it that way.

What I was angriest about was how he treated everyone else like fools. Perhaps he saw himself as the audience who was watching the drama unfold.

Back at the hotel, I saw Ashton waiting for me in the lobby. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and polished black shoes. With a hand in his pocket, he was standing upright in the hotel lobby.

Standing there, my heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. Should tell him about Marcus?

He, too, saw me and took a stride in my direction. As I watch him approach, I was suddenly reminded of the Sun.

Before I could even say a word, he pulled me into his embrace.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my cheeks in his chest. Taking in the scent of his cologne, I managed to calm myself down. With my eyes closed, I called out softly, “Hubby!”

Jolted, he tightened his arms around me. “What happened?”

I shook my head. “Nothing.”

As there were many passersby in the hotel, they would stare at us. Hence, Ashton led me back into the hotel room.

Back in the room, I saw the dining table filled with food from back home. Taking off my jacket, I couldn’t help but look at him. “Have you not had dinner?”

He smiled faintly. “I was waiting for you to have it together.”

I was stunned. “You know that I would have eaten while I was out.”

Grunting in acknowledgment, he settled me into my seat and served me food. He explained in a gentle voice, “I know you don’t like the food here. So, you must be hungry when you return.”

Camelia did take me out for local food, but I looked at him, stunned. “How did you know I went out for local food?”

The food on the table felt like it had just arrived as it was still warm. After serving me, he took a bite himself and replied plainly, “There’s a bodyguard watching out for you.”

Because of what happened last time, he had arranged for bodyguards to be by my side. I was aware of it but had gradually forgotten about that fact.

After a brief silence, I looked at him. “Did you see him?”

Ashton raised his eyebrows with an indifferent gaze. “Who?”

“Marcus!”

He grunted in acknowledgment as if it didn’t matter. “Let’s eat. Or else the food will get cold.”

With that, I buried myself in the food and didn’t discuss the matter further.

After dinner, it was already late. Ashton looked busy as his phone rang incessantly.
