When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 819

His expression turned sombre. “Are you not confident in my love for you? Why do you think that I would not consider your feelings?”

“That’s the worst-case scenario,” I replied truthfully.

“What’s the most favorable one?”

“You’d care about me and reject all the other women for me.”

He laughed and leaned towards me. “Scarlett, I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

However, I pushed him away, stood up, and glanced at his injured arm. “Ashton, this is the second time you get hurt because of another woman. To be honest, I’m not happy about it.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I took the basin to the bathroom and took a shower.

When I got out of the shower, I noticed a bouquet of roses in the room. It was rather beautiful. Ashton sat on the bed and grinned at me. “I know saying sorry is not enough to cheer you up, so I got you flowers. At least it’s pleasing to the eye.”

I gave him a nonchalant shrug. Indeed, flowers always make women happy.

“I pity your personal assistant, Joseph.” It must have been difficult for him to get flowers at this hour and send them to our room in such a short time.

Chuckling, he scooted over and patted the spot next to him. “Come here.”

Looking at the clock, I realized that it was getting late. It’s time to turn in.

After I applied my skincare products, I went to lay down beside him and saw that he had not slept yet. He seemed to have something to say, so I asked, “Is there anything troubling you?”

He nodded and said in a serious manner, “I’m not sure about your attitude towards Marcus. It worries me.”

I was stunned for a second before it dawned on me the meaning behind his words. “Marcus and I are only friends and business partners. Apart from that, we won’t have any other relationship.”

Satisfied with my answer, he smiled and pecked me on the lips. Due to his injury, he did nothing more and went to sleep.

I was completely exhausted after such a long day. As soon as I closed my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.
