When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 482

I nodded, already intending to do so. Jared simply stared as we left.

On the ground floor, I rushed out of the restaurant and sat down beside the car, afraid that someone would recognize me.

Although Summer was young, she had still understood the conversation to some extent. She sat down next to me and asked, “Mommy, why does Mr. Crest want to bring me away?”

I was beginning to have a headache and my stomach felt uncomfortable. Pressing on my abdomen, I replied, “Mr. Crest also wants to have a daughter like you.”

“But doesn’t that lady also have a baby? Mr. Crest will have his own baby too!”

I could not speak from the discomfort. Before I knew it, I had thrown up whatever food I just ate.

Summer was shocked. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

I continued to dry heave for a while before composing myself. I then took Summer into my arms.

Kristina appeared out of nowhere, though I was not surprised. She looked more haggard compared to the last time we had met.

She had probably witnessed me vomiting. “Nausea and vomiting? Are you pregnant?”

She suddenly laughed and continued sarcastically, “Ashton is infertile, but you’re pregnant? Is the child Marcus’? And I thought you were supposed to be a good girl!”

I held myself back, not wanting to argue with her in front of Summer. Just then, Ashton arrived.

He walked over and noticed my vomit. He then turned to Kristina and asked coldly, “What did you do?”

He looked frightening. Kristina backed away and replied with a trembling voice. “I didn’t do anything. She was feeling unwell.”

She then rushed into the restaurant. Ashton turned to me with a concerned look in his eyes. “The food didn’t sit well with you?”

I shook my head and replied weakly, “Let’s go back.”

He agreed, carrying Summer into the backseat, then placing me in the passenger seat.

Devoid of energy, I simply leaned back and stayed silent.

Soon, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was the middle of the night. Ashton was nowhere to be seen, so I went to Summer’s room.
