When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 

For a while. I was slightly confused.

Seeing that I was waiting for a response, he curled his lips and teased, “Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you!”

“Nonsense!” I ignored him. Since I had reviewed the document carefully, there shouldn’t be any problem. It was probably just his usual dubiety.

He placed the document down, took the ones that I was going to sign from my hand, and said, “I will have a look at these and sign them if everything is fine. Go inside and have some rest.”

Ashton’s office was so huge that there was even a lounge fully equipped with facilities.

I frowned as I replied, “I’m not tired.”

However, he ignored me completely and brought me into the lounge. As the weather was warm, he switched on the air conditioning “Lie down and have a good rest.” Meanwhile, he took my cell phone away.

“Ashton!” How am I supposed to sleep while it’s still early? “I woke up late this morning, so I’m not tired.”

He looked at me. “Do you need me to accompany you to sleep?”

I was speechless. I climbed to the bed angrily and pulled the blanket over my head. “I’m going to sleep. You can go out now.”

I vaguely heard his laughter.

After a while, it was quiet in the lounge. Upon thinking he had left, I removed the blanket and stared at the ceiling. There was still an unpleasant feeling coming from within.

Did Ashton change because of guilt?Can a loveless marriage really last a lifetime?

It was impossible to sleep with all these thoughts running through my head. Hence, I planned on finding my cell phone. Then I remembered it was placed outside.

After getting out of bed, I headed out. Ashton wasn’t in the office at that time.

I looked around and saw someone standing behind the balcony curtains. I grabbed my phone and prepared to return to the lounge when I overheard Ashton talking on the phone. “Is she alright?”

I wasn’t sure what was being said on the other end of the call, but I heard him reply, “Alright, bring her for a checkup and have her wounds bandaged well. After that, send her back to Pear Garden.”

It was about Rebecca.

That’s right, how could I have forgotten? Rebecca was also hurt. Even though he made no mention of her, but she was the person he cared for the most.

As for me, he didn’t love me. All he had was just a sense of responsibility.

Ashton wasn’t expecting me to suddenly appear. His eyebrows furrowed when he saw me standing there. “Why aren’t you resting?”

I flashed the cellphone as I said, “I’m here to retrieve this.”

“Since you’re going to sleep, there’s no use holding on to your phone.”

“Alright.”

After returning to the lounge, I was slightly absentminded.
