When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 969

Armond wasn’t dumb. He heard his mother’s grumbling, so he waited till she went into the kitchen then turned to stare at me.

I lowered my head to look at my phone, ignoring his cold stare. Ashton was asking about my whereabouts. Worried that he would overanalyze, I merely replied that I was outside.

Armond snatched my phone right after I replied, then stared at me with a scowl. “Play your role well while you’re here. Are you pregnant?”

My mouth was set in a hard line, and I glared at him as if he was a maniac. “Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why didn’t you bring Nora? Right! I almost forgot people like you don’t deserve her. Good thing you didn’t bring her here and give her some useless hope.”

He was unperturbed by my sarcasm. “Does Ashton know you’re pregnant?”

I truly thought this man was mad. If it weren’t for his mother, I would’ve torn him up into pieces. “Of course, the baby is his. If he doesn’t, who else should?

He smiled creepily and was giving me a spine-chilling stare. I couldn’t sit there any further, just as I was about to stand up and leave.

His mother came in with a lovely smile carrying a bowl of soup. “Scarlett, please have more of this soup. It’s good for you. I loved it so much when I was pregnant with Armond. Try it!”

I stared at the bowl of soup placed in front of me. The fight I had with Armond had made me lost my appetite, but I could feel her attentive gaze boring into me. I couldn’t think of an excuse to reject her, so I took a small sip.

After a few more sips, I thanked her, “Thank you so much, Mrs. Murphy! It’s delicious.”

She smiled. “It’s no big deal. I can make it for you every day and ask Armond to send it to you. Please come and visit me often. Armond was busy all year round, so I didn’t have anyone to talk to. When you have your baby, my place would be all the merrier.

“Oh! Have you started planning for your wedding? Don’t forget about it.”
