When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 455

Both men had a brilliant mind for doing business.

There was a question lingering at the back of my mind. White Corporation had always been under Sally’s control. When did Marcus come into the picture? What exactly happened in these four years?

As I was lost in my thoughts, time flew by. It was soon after noon. Summer had just woken up. In a half-asleep state, she asked, “Mommy, is Mr. Fuller busy with work?”

“He’ll be back soon. Let’s freshen you up and wait for him together.”

It was pretty obvious she had taken a liking to him. Whenever he was not around, she would ask for his whereabouts.

Yet, I couldn’t help but worry about the possibility of Jared taking Summer back to the Crest family. If that day ever comes, what should I do?

After Summer had freshened up, she was in high spirits. As this was her first time here, she started exploring parts of the house. First, it was the living room, then she proceeded to the yard.

Meanwhile, I sat in the yard patiently for Ashton to arrive home. Joseph had carried Snowfluff over to Summer.

He continued standing, looking anxiously at his watch.

I assumed he had something to say to me. “What’s wrong?”

“Erm… Mr. Fuller might be running a little late. There is traffic.”

Oh right. It was two minutes before the agreed time. Understanding the likelihood of Joseph’s words coming true, I unknowingly stopped smiling.

Immediately after, there was the sound of hurried footsteps approaching the yard. Next, a voice started, “There was a traffic jam, but nothing I can’t handle!”

Ashton walked right up to me. There was a sheen of sweat on his forehead; he had rushed home. His pair of obsidian eyes glistening. “Made it in time, just a minute before half-past twelve!”

It was adorable to see him put in the effort to keep his promise. I reached for his forehead and started dabbing the sweat off. “There was no need for you to rush home in this hot weather. Look at you now, all sweaty.”

As I spoke, Ashton removed his outerwear. With a boyish grin, he said, “Just a workout!”

“In the future, there’s no need for you to rush back. It’s not like I’m going anywhere. I’ll always be here.”

“I know. But, I just wanted to see you earlier!”

Hearing his sweet words, I broke into a smile. Summer, too, was delighted to see him. She ran over and hugged his leg. “Mr. Fuller, are you not feeling well? Why do you need to work out?”
