When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 74


    “Uh, bye. Talk to youter!” Macy cut the line abruptly.


    Huh? What was going on?


    Didn’t I ask Jared to send her backst night? I couldn’t believe she found herself a one-night stand in


    that circumstance!


    Wait, was that Jared?


    I proceeded to call Jared next. The phone rang for quite some time before someone picked up.


    “Scarlett,” he answered in a clear voice. It didn’t seem like he was asleep, so I asked, “What are you


    doing?”


    “I’m driving. What’s wrong?” he replied.


    Well, it looked like he wasn’t with Macy.


    Chuckling, I told him, “I’m done with work. Are you free this afternoon? Let’s have lunch together.”


    “Sure,” he agreed without hesitation.


    When I hung up, Nick was looking at me, amused. “Scarlett, seriously?”


    I shot him a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?”


    He sighed, “Is it that bad to spend some time alone with me? You keep calling your friends and inviting


    them here!”


    Ugh, how childish! I ignored his outburst and gazed at the bustling city. “A City is developing swiftly.”


    Gazing at International Trade Center located right in the bustling area, I told Nick, “This is a tall


    building!”


    He knew I was trying to change the topic and huffed, “Fuller Corporation’s building is taller than this.


    Plus, it houses differentpanies inside.”


    “Oh? You seem to know it well.” I grew curious.


    “Mm.” He grunted and added, “My mom bought this building with another techpany’s owner. She


    has apany inside.”


    So this building was owned by Cameron. I couldn’t help but admire this capable woman. She was both


    wealthy and pretty.


    I recalled her saying she had another daughter when we were in Pear Garden. “You have a sister?” I


    asked Nick curiously.


    Nick seemed to hate this topic as his expression soured. “That’s her daughter. It has nothing to do with


    me!”


    I stopped talking about it at once. Looking around, I noticed a store selling cream puffs on the first floor


    of International Trade Center. Suddenly, I had a craving for it.


    Turning to Nick, I suggested, “Why don’t you wait for Jared and Macy in the mall? I’m going to buy


    something.”


    I ran toward the cream puff store right after that. Both Macy and I loved eating cream puffs. We had


    simr tastes in food.


    After I ordered a few cream puffs, I stared into space nkly. My childhood memory was fuzzy by then,


    but I remembered how I loved eating cold and sweet stuff.


    “Two iced cream puffs, please!” Suddenly, a deep male voice rang in my ear. It was so familiar and


    brought back some memories of the past.


    If the store owner hadn’t hummed in acknowledgement, I would’ve thought I was dreaming.


    My reflexes always got the better of me. I didn’t know when it started, but John had always terrified me.


    Once I sensed his presence, my skin would crawl.


    The sun was shining brightly, but a chill was running down my spine, seeping into my veins. I started


    panting and trembling in fear.


    Behind me, a man greeted me icily, “Letty, long time no see!”


    My body stiffened as I panted with difficulty. The cream puff store owner handed me my order, but I


    couldn’t bring myself to take it.


    The man’s hand reached out and took it. He pulled my hand naturally and ced the box in my hand.


    “Letty, your reaction is really upsetting me,” he uttered menacingly.


    It took me some time to calm down. I stepped away from him and choked out, “I’m sorry. You got the


    wrong person!”


    With that, I fled the scene as fast as possible.


    It had been five years since Ist met John. He had once said he wouldn’te looking for me on his


    own. However, our next meeting would be the beginning of his new scheme.


    I thought I wouldn’t see him again after he left J City. After all, the world was huge.


    Never in a million years did I think we’d see each other again in A City.


    After escaping from John, I found Nick and Macy together. I stuffed the ruined cream puffs in her hands


    and pleaded in a trembling voice, “Macy, we need to return to J City now. Right now!”


    Sensing my panic, Macy returned anxiously, “What’s wrong?”


    “John Stovall. I saw him here!” I mumbled fearfully.


    Macy slumped into her chair in shock. It took her some time to process that piece of information. “Let’s


    head back to J City now!” she urged.

    Nick didn’t know what was going on. His brows knitted together as he asked, “What is it?”


    Macy took my hand, ready to leave. Nick tugged at my other hand in confusion. “Wait, what’s going


    on?”
