When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 879

When Holden saw him, other than exchanging customary pleasantries, he didn’t have much of a reaction.

Seeing him approach Ashton and me, I subconsciously hid behind Ashton as fear clutched at my chest.

“Mr. Fuller, what a coincidence. We meet again!” he said with a minute smile on his face.

Ashton kept a poker face as he met the other man’s gaze. “Mm, we meet again. I thought you already left Moranta.”

Abe released an abrupt laugh. “Of course not. This land is where I was given a new life. If I left just like that, how would I be able to see the two of you again?”

Ashton shot him a chilling glance but remained silent.

The corner of Abe’s mouth lifted into an arrogant smirk. “It seems like you don’t really like talking to me, Mr. Fuller. It’s fine. Time is on our side. We have many more opportunities for a good chat!”

Without waiting for a response, he walked away.

I sighed in relief and quickly said, “Let’s go, Ashton.”

Ashton nodded, then cast a glance at Holden, signaling that we were leaving. With that, he looked at me and said, “Let’s go.”

I followed after him and inadvertently peeked at Abe, who was supposed to leave. Instead, he stopped to stare unblinkingly at Ashton and me as though plotting some sort of conspiracy.

Terror gripped my heart, and I subconsciously grabbed Ashton’s arm tightly. Noticing my reaction, he put his arm around my waist and lowered his voice to say, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”

I nodded meekly and continued walking alongside Ashton with my heart in my throat.

After we got into the car, my nerves finally relaxed. I watched as he started the car and asked, “When will we return to K City?”

He put the car in drive and calmly focused on the road ahead. “Tomorrow,” he replied, then looked sideways at me. “What did Abe do to you in Venria?”

I shook my head. “Nothing. After we were taken away, he didn’t hurt me because of my relationship with Armond, but he was very cruel to Nora and the other women. Abe treated their bodies as carriers for transporting kyanine to Western Europe.”
