When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 

Joseph was taken aback when he saw me. “Ms. Stovall, what are you doing here?” he questioned politely.

“Where is Ashton?” I demanded.

“He left with Mr. Quinn,” Joseph replied as he took out the keys from his briefcase.

I parted my lips in disbelief.

In the end, I shot him a smile. “Goodbye, then.”

Seriously, Ashton?

I drove back to the villa in a hurry. When I arrived, I pressed on the doorbell a few times before Mrs. Eriksen opened the door. Wiping her hands, she grinned. “You’re back!” She motioned for me to look inside.

I stepped inside and saw the man sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper.

After changing into house slippers, Mrs. Eriksen went back into the kitchen. I sat down beside Ashton and waited patiently for him to finish reading the papers.

Ashton finally finished after some time. I gave him the fruit juice Mrs. Eriksen prepared. “Ashton, can we talk now?” I inquired.

He glanced at the fruit juice but didn’t take it. “Ms. Stovall, what position are you assuming to talk to me?”

As he was so calm, I didn’t know what was going on in his mind.

I spoke after a brief pause, “Ashton, before we are officially divorced, I’m still Mrs. Fuller.”

“Ha!” he sneered. “So you are aware that you’re still Mrs. Fuller.”

I knew he was upset over the scandal, so I cajoled him in a gentle voice, “Nothing ever happened between Nick and me. The paparazzi made those stories up. Ashton, you know me well. I won’t do that.”

“So?” He rose to his feet. “Scarlett, do you seriously think you can do whatever you please as you’re pregnant!”

His mockery was unbearable. Despite knowing Nick and I were innocent, he still acted this way just because he was livid at me.

Feeling a little aggrieved, I raised my voice at his figure. “I do whatever I please? What about you and Rebecca? Did you forget what you did to hurt me?”

As he stopped in his tracks, I continued, “If Rebecca hadn’t suffered from a miscarriage, I wouldn’t even be here. She’d be your wife by now.”
