When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 840

She hugged me and peppered me with kisses, all the while telling me how much she missed me.

Hugging her small frame, all of the day’s fatigue seemed to have melted away. Cameron and Zachary walked over right then, along with another man who looked to be over fifty. After not seeing each other for a few months, they seemed to have aged significantly beyond their years.

I looked at them but didn’t know what to say, so I settled for a smile.

Cameron smiled with motherly affection and piped up, “It’s so good to finally see you. Come, let’s go home!”

Having said that, she tugged me toward the villa. Emery had probably notified them in advance, so they ordered the housemaids to prepare a new table of food.

Summer was brimming with excitement. It was well past her bedtime, but she remained in my arms without any trace of sleepiness. Cameron had to gently remind her several times before she finally dragged her feet back to her room.

After a short while, however, she padded out of her room again to climb on my lap, asking softly, “Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight? I wanna hug you to sleep. It’s been so long since we slept together, Mommy. I miss you!”

Any mother who had been away from her child for too long wouldn’t be able to refuse her child’s requests, and I was no exception.

Hence, I nodded with a helpless smile.

After having something to eat, Hunter came home with my suitcase and brought it upstairs before carrying his baby boy over. Because he was in a hurry earlier, he didn’t get to see his son before leaving.

Before I knew it, I was reaching out to take the four-month-old baby from Emery’s arms. He was so tiny and chubby that merely looking at him seemed to fill my heart with joy. All women probably had a soft spot for children and would inevitably develop a sense of adoration for them.

Summer leaned against me to peer at the baby and said innocently, “Mommy, you should give me a little brother like Xavier too. Granny said that when I get older, I can help you take care of him. That way, you won’t be too tired.”
