When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 6


    “Ms. Larson, I’m surprised at how fast you’ve switched personalities.” Casting her a cursory nce, I


    picked up my bag and prepared to make my journey to the Fullers’ home.


    Since Ashton was unwilling to go, it was my job to go in his stead.


    As soon as I reached the door, Reba stepped forward to block my way. Seeing that Ashton was


    absent, she could finally take a breather from pretending to be a harmless little bunny. She questioned


    me sharply, “When are you going to sign the divorce papers?”


    I was stunned for a second. Nevertheless, I released a chuckle as I looked at her. “Are you ying the


    homewrecker by forcing me to divorce him?”


    “You’re the homewrecker!” Calling her that seemed to have hit a nerve because her face darkened as


    she snarled, “If it weren’t for you, thedy of this house would have been me by now. Since George has


    died, there is no one to protect you, no one who will ensure that you can continue living here. If I were


    you, I’d sign the divorce papers, take the money that Ashton has offered, and get as far away from here


    as possible.”


    “Well, it’s a pity that you’re not me, Ms. Larson!” I retorted coldly as I ignored her jabs and skirted


    around her to go downstairs. Other than Ashton, no one in the world could say anything to hurt me.


    Being a person who had always basked in the limelight, Reba felt dissatisfied that I was ignoring


    her. She suddenly gave a hard grip on my arm. “How shameless can you get, Scarlett? Ash doesn’t


    even like you, so what’s the use of clinging onto him?”


    ncing back at her, I had the urge tough but my next words were uttered calmly. “Since you’re


    aware of his stance toward me, what’s there to be nervous about?”


    “You…” She flushed a bright red, unable to respond.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    I leaned closer to her with a faint sneer on my lips and lowered my voice into a whisper. “As for why I’m


    clinging onto him…” I paused as I evened out my tone. “He’s got some mad skills. So you tell me,


    what’s the use of it?”


    “You’re so shameless!” Reba’s eyes reddened with anger. Without thinking, she raised her hands


    and intended to push me. The stairs were behind me, so out of instinct, I twisted sideways to avoid


    getting pushed by her.


    Nheless, I never expected her to lose her own footing. She fell right down the stairs.


    “Ahhhh!” Her ear-splitting scream resounded throughout the living room, and I stood rooted to the


    ground for a while, unable to react.


    To my misfortune, I was shoved aside just as I sensed a frosty front darting my way. Then, Ashton’s


    figure shot down the stairs as he went to check on Reba, who was already lying at the bottom of the


    stairs.


    Reba was curled into a ball on the floor, holding her abdomen with an agonized look on her ashen


    face. She spoke in a feeble voice, “My child. My child.”


    There was blood pooling beneath her body, staining arge area of the carpet red. Every fiber in my


    body froze. She’s… pregnant?


    With Ashton’s child?


    “Ash, the child. The child…” Reba tugged at Ashton’s sleeve as she repeated the words like a


    broken record.


    Beads of sweat covered Ashton’s forehead, his icy expression sank with dread.


    “Don’t be afraid. The child will be fine.” Heforted Reba and scooped her into his arms before he


    strode toward the door.


    After taking a few steps forward, Ashton stopped abruptly. His glowering eyes were as dark as an


    abyss, and the anger in his voice was palpable. “I bet that you’re happy, Scarlett.”


    His simple words were full of hatred and fury.


    I was bereft of speech; I did not know how to react.


    “Aren’t you going after them to exin?” A deep voice came from behind, jolting me into action. I


    turned and was stunned to see Jared there all of a sudden.


    Suppressing the panic that was rising in my heart, I calmly asked, “Exin what?”


    He raised his brows. “Aren’t you afraid that he would think that you pushed Reba?”


    My eyes dipped down as a hint of bitterness shone through them. “It’s doesn’t matter whether I pushed


    her. The truth is that Reba is hurt and someone has to take the me for it.”


    “It’s good that you know!” Jared descended the stairs as he left the vi with his medical kit in hand. He


    was probably heading off to the hospital to see Reba.
