When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 487

The row between Ashton and Sally was something I’d never expected.

Ashton didn’t go to the office for several days, so he handled all his work over to Joe.

When Sally came, I wasn’t in the living room.

Initially, they merely chatted, but out of the blue, they started arguing for some inexplicable reason.

I actually didn’t want to poke my nose into it, but I couldn’t resist leaving the bedroom to see what had happened upon hearing the commotion.

“She’ll ruin you! All the ladies from wealthy and noble families in K City are outstanding, so why her? You’ve been at odds with Marcus for years when the two of you could’ve prospered together as allies to attain greater success. Why must you be at loggerheads with him because of a woman?” Sally bellowed.

“I love her!” This remark came from Ashton. His back was ramrod straight, and I couldn’t discern his emotions or expression since he had his back to me.

It was just three words, yet it was more than sufficient to stun me for a long while. After all, I had never heard him saying “I love you” throughout the past seven years.

This was the very first time…

Ashton’s voice was low and determined as he spoke to Sally. “In this relationship, it’s not her clinging to me, but it’s me who can’t lose her. Even if she truly becomes a lunatic who has no sanity left, I will still stay faithful to her. As long as she stays by my side, I’ll take care of her no matter what.”

Upon hearing this, Sally shook her head in disbelief.

Ashton, however, continued in a low voice, “You have no idea how bright and vivid she was when I met her at J University, nor do you know how sweet her smile was when she married me. In the past seven years, it was me who turned her into her current shell from a young and dazzling girl. Anyone else can abandon her, but not me.”

“You’re simply hopeless!” Sally was infuriated. “Have you ever considered your children in the future when you keep such a person by your side? Her condition is already severe, that with her inability to control her own emotions. Have you ever considered what she’d do to a child once her condition flares? Putting it bluntly, she might actually kill the child and commit suicide herself!”

Despite that, Ashton wasn’t at all bothered. “We won’t be having another child. I’m registered as Summer’s legal guardian, so she’s my daughter in the eyes of the law.”

“But she’s not of your blood!”
