When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 490

Gazing at Hannah’s slightly bulging belly, I could not help but feel a little troubled. This child should come into the world honorably.

There was a sound advancing from the door. It was Nick, who was accompanied by a truly stunning young woman. The woman’s beauty hit a nerve to others with such a flawless face.

By the looks of it, it should be an employee-employer relationship between them. The moment they walked in, Nick greeted everyone.

He spoke faintly, “I just came from the office. You guys won’t mind that I bring an assistant, right?”

Everyone laughed, as naturally, nobody would.

After sitting down, Nick turned to me. “Scarlett, it’s been a long time since I saw you.” His words sounded solemn.

Seeing him holding a wine glass in his hand, I couldn’t help but become as serious as him.

He continued to speak, “Mother handed everything from the Harrisons to me. Four years have passed since you left. You should go to the Moore Residence to visit her if you have time. After all, you are not the only one who was affected by this; she has suffered a lot more than you think.”

I pursed my lips and could not help lowering my head. Humans are complicated creatures, and forgiveness is easier to be said than done.

I could understand everything she did, but there was no way to act as if nothing happened.

At one side, Emery was frowning. She probably thought it was inappropriate for Nick to say such things on this occasion. Hence, she raised her glass and touched his. “Well, today, everyone is here to have fun. Let’s eat more food and chat about something interesting. Cheers!”

She swallowed the wine in the glass haughtily. Just then, Hunter thoughtfully put some fresh food on her plate. “Come on. Drink less and eat more!”

At that, Emery giggled playfully. Although she was usually bold, she appeared so gentle next to the person she adored.

Her giggle reminded me of Macy; she had such a bold and straightforward personality too.

While reminiscing the past, a feeling of distress started to engulf me. I bowed my head down, feeling a little depressed.

Ashton held my hand tightly and gazed softly into my eyes. “Eat more and gain some more weight.” He instructed in his gentle voice.

At that moment, he had already loaded my plate with various dishes. Obviously, he expected me to consume them all.

I looked up at him and beamed.
