When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 705

After that, she continued, “No, I’m drunk now. I shouldn’t be calling Ashton. I should call Armond, and let him come…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Nora dozed off.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at how ridiculous she was. Since she had fallen asleep, I brought her to the bed and tucked her in.

After covering Linda with a blanket, I decided to lie on the sofa to get some shut eye.

Ding dong! I was so close to dozing off when the doorbell to our room suddenly rang. I was stunned and sat up straight from the sofa.

Alcohol had clouded my mind, and I began to fear the worst. What if that there was an intruder at our door?

 

A short while later, the door opened, and Armond stepped into the room. One of the staff from Nora’s bar followed behind, still holding on to the room key.

When he realized the room reeked of booze and was in complete disarray, Armond’s face blazed with anger. “How much did you drink?”

 

Seeing how angry and fierce he already was, I decided not to lie. “A lot. But Nora and Linda drank the most.”

“Do you expect me to praise you for having control?” he said coldly, even though the anger in his voice was obvious.

I was still feeling light-headed, but I forced myself to stay sober. “Armond, I… “

“Armond?” Nora suddenly sat up from the bed when he heard his name. In her drunken stupor, she scanned the room until she met his gaze and broke into an enormous grin.

“Armond, you’re here? Are you going to take me home?”

She then got up from bed and staggered over, throwing herself into Armond’s arms. “I knew it. I knew you’d appear in my dreams. Linda told me you hadn’t been a virgin since you were seventeen. I’m sure you must be amazing… “

Nora’s words left me dumbstruck.

I didn’t pay a lot of attention to what Nora and Linda were discussing earlier. But judging by what we just heard, Linda had been very generous with the details.

The entire situation was so embarrassing that even the staff who had accompanied Armond had left quietly.

Armond was already angry when he first stepped into the room. But, now with Nora all over him, the fury in his eyes intensified even more.

He stared daggers at me like he was about to shred me to pieces. In an instant, I tried to pull Nora away from him but to no avail.

I trembled as I spoke, “Mr. Murphy, Nora’s completely drunk now and thinks she’s dreaming.”

“How dare you, Scarlett!” He gritted his teeth in anger.
