When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 622

grinned. “Yes. Who told you that?”

“Uncle John called and told me this morning.”

Surprised, I smiled at her. John was quick at getting updates.

I carried her up and sat on the bed. With a solemn face, I gazed at the little girl. “Summer, I’ll be away for several days. Do you want to stay with Mr. Fuller or Uncle John and Grandpa?”

She tilted her head while staring at me in bewilderment. “Mommy, aren’t you going to bring me along?”

“Summer, you need to go to school, so you can’t go around with me all the time. Just stay in K City. Uncle John, Grandpa, and Mr. Fuller will take good care of you.”

“But I want to go out and have fun with you, Mommy,” she protested with a frown.

“Summer!” I raised my voice. “You can come with me during the school holidays. Do you remember that you’ve taken a day off previously? Everyone has their own responsibilities, children and adults alike. Just like how Mr. Fuller goes to work every day, you need to go to school every day too.”

As usual, knowing that I was angry, the little girl no longer argued with me. She kept quiet for a moment before saying, “Okay, Mommy. I’ll listen to you.”

Opening my mouth, I wanted to say something to comfort her, but in the end, the only words I could say were to ask her to take care of herself.

At night.

It was already 12 a.m. when Ashton came home. In my sleep, I vaguely felt that he got into bed, but I was too sleepy to ask him how things went.

The next morning, he had left when I woke up.

Flora knocked on the door. “Good morning, Mrs. Fuller. Your breakfast is ready. Before Mr. Fuller left this morning, he asked me to send his clothes for cleaning.”

I nodded and allowed her to come in and go into the bathroom.

She was the one taking care of and in charge of the laundry, so I let her do whatever she needed to. Tying my hair up, I went into the bathroom to freshen up.

As the woman was taking out the clothes Ashton had worn yesterday, her body suddenly went stiff.

Instinctively, I turned to look at her and saw her holding a white shirt. There was a glaring, red lipstick stain on the collar.

“Mrs. Fuller, maybe Mr. Fuller…” Flora was at a loss for words. The atmosphere was awkward at that moment.

I flashed her an assuring smile. “It’s okay. Perhaps it was rubbed on the shirt accidentally. Go ahead and send it for cleaning.”

Lowering my head, I continued brushing my teeth and washing my face. To be honest, I was unfazed. After years of being together, I knew full well what kind of a man Ashton was.

When it came to loyalty and relationship, I had faith in him, and I wouldn’t doubt him only because of a small matter like this.
