When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 574

What I said had rendered Cameron speechless. Zachary frowned and looked at me, displeased, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I admire your relationship and am impressed by how to protect your family members, but I hope you can put yourself in people’s shoes and think of others,” I said, “Had you been more magnanimous and gracious to others, you wouldn’t have pushed your own daughter away and suffocated your grandchild.”

I was afraid I might flip out if I continued to dig up the past. Instead of paying attention to their pallid faces, I grabbed my bag and walked away.

No one human was perfect, but that was what made us so unique. Likewise, we were all neither saints nor sinners.

Whenever we viewed the world from our own perspective, we would also think what we did was right. Yet, it might be the opposite had we adopted a different point of view.

If we had the absolute freedom to destroy someone we hated, then the world would be in a state of anarchy.

Meanwhile, Ashton had arrived and parked his car by the entrance. He stood beside his car and waved at me the moment he saw me.

I walked to him, wrapped my hands around him, and leaned against his chest.

He embraced me and asked in his usual deep and soothing voice. “What’s wrong?”

I placed my head to his chest and refused to move. “I don’t want to be a good person, but I don’t want to hurt people too.”

He grinned and wondered why I said that. “Did something happen?”

I released him and looked at him. “Ashton, if you fall in love with someone else in the future, you have to tell me. I’ll leave honorably.”

He knitted his brows and cupped my face with his hand. “You’re the only woman I’d ever love.”

My lips curled into a smile, and once again, I leaned against his chest. Though I find comfort in his words, I also know it’s impossible to stop a person from changing his or her heart.

I’m grateful that he has come into my life and loved me unconditionally, but if he finds someone else in the future and decides to move, I’d still be happy for him.

He realized I was a little emotional. Instead of talking, he stood there and hugged me for a while before leading me to my seat in the car.

Joseph drove my car while I got into Ashton’s. I stared at the road and went deep in thought.

After keeping quiet for some time, I looked at Ashton and asked, “What makes a good person?”

He took a glance at me while he continued driving. “That’s a meaningless question, Scarlett. You should live your life and let your conscience be your guide.”
