When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 209
Macy was unsure if Jared fell for her. Thus, she was reluctant to tell him about the baby as she did not
want him topromise because of it.
Truth be told, Jared himself was probably still uncertain about what feelings he had for Macy.
Ashton’s car was approaching, and we bade each other goodbye. “I’ll talk to you another day. I have to
go now!”
Jared’s voice sounded out behind me after I barely took a few steps, “Get a trustworthy person to be by
your side when you deliver the baby!”
I froze for a moment but found it strange. “All right!” Well, I don’t have a mother-inw. Unless I suffer
from deliveryplications, do I have to hesitate in choosing whether to save the mother or the baby?
After I got into the car, I moved clumsily and leaned into the seat, feeling tired. “When can the job at
hand be settled?”
Macy was going to deliver her baby in two months. I was worried about her as she was on her own,
and the healthcare over there was limited.
Ashton started the car engine and nced at me. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing! Let’s visit Macy when everyone is free. I haven’t seen her for quite some time.”
He agreed and sighed, touching my belly, “You must have suffered these few months.”
I remained silent and felt flustered. It would be Reba’s birthday two dayster.
I looked at Ashton and asked, “Are you going to celebrate Reba’s birthday?”
Knowing Reba, she would definitely invite them for a party.
Much to my surprise, he shook his head and replied, “The baby is due soon. I shouldn’t go out.”
I could not help butugh. “The exact date of delivery is not confirmed yet. Besides, there is a doctor
and maids at home. What are you afraid of?”
He raised his eyebrows and looked at me. “They are not your hubby!”
I burst outughing and stopped talking.
Looking at the scenery along the road, Cameron’s words came to my mind and made me uneasy.
Though those days seemed to be calm, I felt as if threats were hiding in the dark, crouching and waiting
for the time to make their death strike.
Cameron would do whatever it took to make the engagement between Ashton and Reba happen.
Though Reba was arrogant, she dared not cross the line. But Cameron was different. She was a
self-made tycoon and was definitely a worrisome foe.
Ashton noticed my less than favorable condition, but he dismissed his worries, thinking that I was just
tired. Thus, the moment we arrived at the vi, Ashton carried me to the bedroom right away.
I pretended to be asleep in his arms, as I was in no mood to chat. I waited till there was a pin drop
silence in the bedroom before opening my eyes.
I then called Jackson and he answered after a few seconds.
“It’s five in the morning here, my dear!” His voice was a little hoarse.
I was taken aback and responded, “Why are you still at M country? Haven’t you already returned? You
haven’te back, have you?”
I thought he had returned when Nickst called me.
“No! I’m taking a flight back tomorrow afternoon.” He sounded rather tired. “Why did you call me
suddenly? Is the baby here yet?”
“Not yet!” I paused for a second. “The baby is due within these few days. I feel uneasy, and Macy is not
around. Could you pleasee back early?”
“Yeah, I know! I’m trying to settle the things over here so that I can rush back immediately. But I got
caught up in the client’s matter, and it’s a bit of a headache.”
I knew he was upied most of the time, so I nodded but didn’t press on. “Okay! My baby is due in
about two weeks. I should be able to wait till youe back.” Then I continued, “By the way, I can’t
reach Macy. What’s going on?”
“There is no signal at her ce asionally. She’s in a mountain, after all. Don’t worry about her! Take
care of yourself and call me if you need me, or else you can look for Nick! He’s already in K City.”
I nodded and felt more secure. “Please take care of Macy. She lives far from the city, and it’s difficult to
reach out for help if anything happens.”
Jackson sighed, “I know! Both of you are weird, with one hiding in the mountain and the other one
feeling insecure even with her husband by her side.”
I kept quiet when I heard the sudden footfall in the corridor. “I’ll talk to you another day. Have a good
rest!” I spoke softly and promptly ended the call.
Two days had passed.
Though Ashton had been busy, he would dine with me every day.
I had gotten used to waiting for him at the yard around dinner time.
It was autumn, and the evening breeze was cool. The deciduous trees shed their leaves and covered
the yard with yellowish-brown leaves. Some nts had withered from the cold temperature.
Ashton promised to get some new nts to make the yard more lively as soon as he had spare time.
“Madam, there’s a call!” Molly handed the phone over to me.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
It was John.
“Happy birthday, Letty!” He was smiling and wished me with a soft tone.
