When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 64


    Picking me up, he nced at Mrs. Eriksen, who had rushed out after hearing themotion. “Get a


    cab for Ms. Larson!”


    Mrs. Eriksen nodded profusely.


    Reba had just recovered from the shock. She stared at us, her expression pale. “Ash,” she


    implored.

    “Go back home!” Ashton told her before heading into the vi with me.


    Behind us, I could hear Mrs. Eriksen saying, “Ms. Larson, here’s your cab.”


    Back in the bedroom, Ashton ced me on the bed gently. He gazed at me and gave me a light peck.


    “Don’t act recklessly anymore. Otherwise…”


    He didn’t finish his sentence. When his cool lipsnded on my shoulder, leaving his mark there with a


    bite, I frowned slightly but said nothing.


    After pulling up the covers for me, his phone started ringing on the bedside table. I nced at it and


    realized it was Reba.


    Ashton took a nce at it, but he didn’t answer her call.


    After a few missed calls from Reba, she texted him.


    The message read: Ash, please don’t leave me alone. After losing my brother, you’re the only one I


    have.


    I wanted to smile, but there was a lump in my throat stopping me from doing so.


    Ashton saw the text, too. He didn’t reply to it. Instead, he lit up a cigarette and went to the balcony to


    smoke quietly.


    Perhaps I was tired after the earlier incident as I fell asleep soon.


    The thunder was booming loudly when I finally woke up. I thought the sky had cleared, but it was still


    pouring at midnight.


    Previously, I wasn’t afraid as I was with Macy. But that night, the bedroom was empty. The lightning


    shed across the night, and it was terrifying in the dark bedroom.


    I switched on the light and looked around. Ashton was nowhere to be seen. There were a lot of


    cigarette stubs on the balcony.


    As he wasn’t in the bedroom, I walked out barefoot, hoping to see him in his study.


    s, I was too na?ve.


    In the living room downstairs, Reba stood there stubbornly, utterly drenched. Her gaze was fixated


    on Ashton.


    “Go back home!” said Ashton in exasperation.


    “No!” Reba’s lips curved up in an innocent smile. “You know I’m afraid of thunder.”


    She seemed frail and delicate, especially since she was drenched, with her hair in a messy state.


    After a long silence, Ashton gave in. “Go take a shower.”


    Reba nodded. “But I don’t have clean clothes to change into,” she said.


    “Your clothes, which you brought here earlier, are still in the guest room.”


    I stood at the top of the stairs silently and overheard their conversation.


    Reba sauntered into the guest room.


    Back then, George bought this vi because he thought it was spacious. It could amodate if


    Ashton and I had more kids.


    Later on, I realized that day might nevere. I didn’t even know when Reba moved her clothes to


    the guest room.


    How ridiculous!


    “Ah!” A shriek sounded from the guest room. It seemed like Reba had slipped.


    Ashton’s brows knitted up as he strode toward the guest room. Suddenly, he stopped midway and


    looked up, meeting my gaze. “You’re awake?”


    I nodded, feeling a pang in my heart. “She is hurt. You should go check up on her.”


    “Scarlett!”


    I parted my lips and insisted. “Go!”


    I couldn’t get him to love me, but I couldn’t stop him from loving someone else, could I?


    At once, I returned to the bedroom. The rain was sttering noisily on the balcony. I strode out and


    stood there, allowing the rain to soak my body entirely. Slowly, my heart grew numb.


    Falling to my knees, I hugged myself tightly. Burying my head between my knees, my tears streamed


    down uncontrobly.


    Fairytales didn’t exist in the real world.


    No one had the ability to help me, nor was it anyone’s duty. I had to grit my teeth and get over it myself.


    I wasn’t sure if it was because I stood in the rain for too long, but my head felt heavy. The pain in my


    heart had gone numb. My whole body was shivering from the cold.


    Footsteps sounded from the bedroom. Looking up, I saw Ashtoning to a stop beside me.


    He was obviously livid.


    “Is it fun to torture me?”


    Stunned, I replied, “Are you happy?”


    He scooped me up unhappily. “Scarlett, there are responsibilities which I cannot push away from. Don’t


    torture me using you and our child, alright?”


    I lowered my head as tears spilled out. “I wasn’t trying to torture you. The heartache was too much for


    me to bear.”


    I was dripping wet as he brought me into the bathroom. Turning on the shower, he undressed me


    without a word.
