When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 604

“That’s unfair! You’re a team of two adults while we’re just a team of an old granny and a small kid,” she sat on the snowy ground and whined.

“Sheesh! Summer, since when did I become an old granny? I’m still very strong, okay?” Sally exclaimed.

Summer winked at Sally, hinting for her to back her up. Sally got the message and exclaimed, “Summer’s right! This is not a fair competition.”

“Then shall we shuffle teams?” I suggested. Both of them looked at each other and let out a smile.

Ashton pursed his lips and whined, “I’m injured, so the change does not make much of a difference!”

It was obvious that he was using his injury as an excuse.

Summer let out a deep sigh and called out, “Mr. Fuller is lying!”

Since Summer was unwilling to compete within the existing grouping and Ashton was unwilling to swap teams, we could only build snowmen.

The snow in K City had always been abundant, going up to ten centimetres deep. Building a snowman was the perfect activity.

Many years later, in J City, where there was no snowy winter, I miss the snowy K City filled with snowmen throughout.

While Fuller Corporation had been stabilized, I felt as if Marcus was someone I never knew, as Ashton did not allow me to mention him at all.

As spring approached, leaves started to sprout on the leafless trees in K City. Some trees were even flowering.

Ashton recalled that he had forgotten to bring me for plum tree appreciation the previous year. In response, I reminded him that he had forgotten many other promises as well. For instance, we were supposed to head to the north the year before.

Nevertheless, I planned for Summer to take a term break to bring her back to J City that year.

Ashton was unable to join us as he was occupied with work. He got Joseph to join us instead as he was worried about us.

At the airport, while waiting for our flight, Joseph went to buy some stuff. At the same time, Emery called.

“When will you be back from J City?” she asked while sounding like she was chewing food at the same time.

“I’ll be back in a month’s time!” I replied. After all, the purpose of that trip was simply to visit old friends.

“Make it quick! I’m about to give birth soon, and you must not miss it!” Emery ranted over the call.

I chuckled. “Alright, noted! I’ll definitely be back to witness your childbirth!” I promise. Meanwhile, Joseph was walking back.

Joseph handed me a bottle of water and reminded me, “Mrs. Fuller, it’s time to board the flight.”

“I promise to be back by then! Bye, I’m going to board the plane now.” I ended the call as a queue started to form at the boarding gate.

I held Summer and boarded the plane as Joseph sent Ashton a text. When we got to our seats, Joseph requested blankets for us and said, “It’ll take four hours to arrive, so please take a nap.”
