When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 5


    Reba was stunned upon hearing my words. Her eyes darkened a little and she looked back at


    Ashton, tugging on his sleeve before telling him softly, “Ash, I was out of linest night. I see that I have


    disturbed both you and Scarlett. Can you ask her to stay to have breakfast with us? Just take it as an


    apology from me, please?”


    I…


    Haha! Indeed, some people don’t need to work to earn an ounce of affection. All they need to do is bat


    theirshes and act vulnerable, and they’ll be able to get away with even murder.

    Ashton had initially paid me no heed, but when Reba spoke up, he nced at me and stated, “Let’s


    eat together.”


    His tone was cold andmanding.


    Did it hurt? I was already numb to the pain.


    I shed a smile and nodded. “Thank you.”


    I could never bear to refuse Ashton. Because he was someone whom I had fallen in love with at first


    sight, getting over him would be undoubtedly difficult.


    I supposed that it was my lucky day since this was the first time that I got to taste the food made by


    Ashton. Fried eggs and bacon were nothing special, but they still left a deep impression on me. All


    along, I had thought that a man like Ashton Fuller was above everyone else. I thought he would never


    stoop so low as to cook with his own two hands.


    “Scarlett, try the fried eggs that Ash has made. They’re excellent. When we were together, he always


    made this for me,” Reba urged while cing an egg on my te.


    Then, with a sharine smile on her face, she gave one to Ashton as well. “Ash, you promised to


    apany me to see the flowers today. You can’t break your promise, okay?”


    “Mm!” Ashton responded while eating his breakfast, his movements as refined as that of a prince. He


    was never one to speak unnecessarily, but whenever it came to Reba, he would always be sure to


    respond to all of her questions and requests.


    Jared seemed to be ustomed to this already as he ate his breakfast in a sophisticated manner. He


    was quietly watching our interactions as if he was an outsider.


    I lowered my gaze as my brows furrowed into a frown. Grandpa’s funeral is today! If Ashton leaves with


    Reba, what’s going to happen to our n of going to the Fullers family home…


    No one could fully enjoy their breakfast today. After having a few bites, Ashton headed upstairs to


    change his clothes. I set my cutlery down and followed after him.


    In the bedroom.


    Ashton knew that I had entered after him so he asked in an indifferent voice, “Do you need


    something?”


    With that, he casually removed his clothes, putting his sturdy figure on disy. I instinctively turned


    around so that my back would face him. “Grandpa’s funeral is today!”


    I heard some shuffling noises behind me as well as the sound of his zipper being zipped. His


    monotonous voice soon followed. “You can go over yourself.”


    The frown on my face deepened. “He is your grandfather, Ashton.” Ashton was the eldest grandson of


    the Fullers. If he were absent from the funeral, what would the rest of his family think?


    “I’ve already told Joseph Campbell to handle the funeral. You canmunicate with him on the


    details.” He spoke without emotion as if he were exining a matter that was irrelevant to him.


    When he walked toward his study, a pang of sadness engulfed me. I was quick to raise my voice.


    “Ashton, is everyone other than Reba dispensable to you? Does your family mean nothing to you?”


    He paused in his stride before turning to look at me with narrowed eyes. Emanating a chilly vibe, he


    told me, “You’re not in a position to lecture me on my family matters.”


    After a brief pause, he curled his lips and spat disdainfully, “You’re not worthy!”


    His words hit me like a bucket of cold water, chilling me to the bone.


    As I listened to his gradually retreating steps, a mirthless chuckle escaped my lips.


    I am unworthy!


    Hah!


    Two long years had passed. Yet, my efforts in getting him to warm up to me were futile.


    “I thought you’re thick-skinned, but I never expected you to poke your nose into other people’s


    businesses as well.” A mocking voice reached my ears.


    I turned toward the voice and saw Reba leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed in


    front of her chest. Gone was her cute and innocent facade. Instead, a frosty expression had taken


    residence on her face.
