When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 198


    Since I was pregnant and couldn’t consume alcohol, I raised my teacup and toasted Benjamin.


    “Benjamin, I wish you a happy birthday. May God bless you always!”


    My words brought a smile to his face. “Thank you for your blessing. May God bless everyone! Cheers!”


    Throughout the meal, except Marcus, who was apathetic as before, everyone greatly enjoyed


    themselves.


    In the end, Benjamin was drunk, so Sally took him upstairs to rest in the bedroom. In the meantime,


    Ashton yed chess with Marcus while waiting for the cake cutting session.


    I had eaten a little too much just now, so I decided to take a walk in the yard. Ashton was attentive


    enough in asking a housemaid to apany me.


    The Whites’ vi had a huge yard, which was home to a diverse range of flora. I got tired after a while


    and decided to take a seat on a nearby granite bench.


    Just then, the housemaid advised, “Mrs. Fuller, it’s rather cold outside in the evening. Why don’t we


    head to the pavilion? It’s morefortable to rest there as it is equipped with a cushioned hammock.”


    I nodded my agreement. Reclining in the hammock, as the housemaid suggested, it was indeed more


    comfortable. The oscition of the hammock made me drowsy, but I was trying to take the edge off


    sleepiness.


    Right then, I heard the housemaid’s voice. “Mrs. Fuller, feel free to take a nap. Mr. Fuller asked me to


    look after you while you’re asleep. Don’t worry. We regrly put snake repellent in the yard.”


    I nodded nkly. “Thanks.”


    Ever since I got frightened by the snakest time, I didn’t dare to stay long in the yard. Yet, I never


    expected Ashton would take notice of my fear.


    As I cast my worries away, the soothing evening breeze slowly lulled me into a deep slumber.


    When I woke up, I realized it was nighttime, and the pavilion was dimly lit. In my half-awake state, I saw


    a tall figure standing before me.


    Thinking it was Ashton, I buried my head in the pillow, grumbling in a muffled voice, “Ashton, my back


    aches a lot. I think it must be a boy because he’s so uncaring, like you.” Experiencing mild stomach


    pain and cramps, I closed my eyes to rest.


    Receiving no response from him, I requested, “Help me massage my leg. It hurts.”


    “Alright.” He agreed and thenid his fingers on my leg.


    It suddenly dawned on me that that voice was not of Ashton’s.


    The next moment, when I opened my eyes to see Marcus’s face, I quickly retracted my legs to back


    away from his touch.


    In a panic, I blurted out, “Mr. White, how… Why are you here?” I regretted my words the moment they


    emerged. What a stupid question I’ve asked. This is the White family’s vi, of course, he could go


    wherever he wants!


    Seeing my reaction, he retrieved his gaze from my leg while replying softly, “I’m out here taking a walk.”


    I gave a perfunctory nod. Having nothing to say to him, I rose to my feet and decided to leave.


    Just then, he took a seat on the hammock. “Are you avoiding me? Am I that scary to you?” he asked

    I shook my head. “No.”


    He nodded and then uttered, “They have sent Snowball away. I apologize for Snowball’s behavior, but


    it didn’t mean to scare you.”


    It took me a second to understand that “Snowball” was referring to the mastiff. My lips twitched upon


    realizing that his ck mastiff was named “Snowball”. His brain sure works differently from normal


    people.


    “I’m fine. I didn’t me it.” Noticing he had gotten the blues, I paused for a while before I added, “You


    don’t need to send Snowball away.”


    As long as he leashed the dog properly and made sure it wouldn’t cause harm to others, he need not


    send it away.


    Raising his brow, he sneered, “I have no say in this matter.”


    Sensing the resentment and a hint of sorrow in his voice, I felt sorry for him. “I’m sorry, I didn’t…”


    “Why are you apologizing?” He furrowed his brows. “I find you are in some way simr to Sally. Both of


    you know how to act pitiful and what to say to tug on a man’s heartstrings.” His words were rather rude


    and humiliating.


    I got tired of standing, so I leaned against a nearby pir. With my brows knotted, I fixed my gaze on


    him. “You need not direct your anger at me because I have no idea things would turn out this way. Even


    though your dog didn’t mean it, it has indeed frightened me. After all, I’ve epted your apology. It has


    nothing to do with me that Snowball was sent away. As you’ve said earlier, you have no say in this


    matter, neither do I.”


    I was not mad at him, but I felt displeased that he cast me on me. Letting out a sigh, I continued, “It’s


    not my ce to meddle with your family affairs, but I must tell you that Aunt Sally didn’t ruin your


    parent’s marriage. You know better than anyone else that your parents’ marriage was broken not


    because of Aunt Sally.”


    In fact, Benjamin had divorced Sharon way before he married Sally. It was Sharon whoter regretted


    it, putting Sally into an awkward position. That woman wanted to ruin Benjamin’s life when she saw the


    latter had already moved on, living a happier life than her.


    “Huh,” Marcus snorted. Narrowing his eyes, he shifted in the hammock, staring at me with a scornful


    smile. “It sounds to me that you know a lot about the Whites’ family affairs.”


    “I know nothing, and I don’t care about your family affairs,” I replied curtly.


    However, before I could leave, the man had grabbed hold of my arm. “In your eyes, having a second


    marriage is no big deal at all, huh? Are you prepared to remarry as well? What do you think about me?


    You can divorce your husband and marry me. I don’t mind if you have a baby!”
