When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 228
I stared at the files for a long moment before keeping them. “Just continue investigating. I have nothing
to do with them. There must be a reason for them to attack me.”
He nodded and paused briefly before adding, “Ashton seems to be investigating this matter too.”
“It involves his child after all, so it’s quite normal for him to investigate this,” I sneered.
“Let’s go. What do you want to eat?” he asked as he took his car keys.
With no particr food in mind, I stood up and answered, “Anything is fine.”
After we entered the elevator, he said, “Are you using HiTech as a stake so that you can go against the
Moore family with White Corporation?”
“I can’t believe you noticed. Are you going to stop me?” I asked with a smile.
Frowning, he said, “The Moore family isn’t as simple as we think. It’s troublesome enough dealing with
Cameron, let alone Zachary.”
I nodded but remained adamant about my decision. “So what? I can’t ept what happened to me.”
Marcus knew that he wouldn’t be able to change my mind no matter what he said, so he stopped
talking.
Once we left thepany and got into the car, he began driving without saying another word.
He always had great taste in food. When we stopped at a French restaurant, I took a nce at it before
saying to him, “You should write a book about the food in K City. I think lots of people will like it.”
Marcus grinned at my words. “You’re just going to assume that they serve good food even before you
start eating?”
I nodded. “This ce is quite low-key, and the environment here is serene. No one would be able to
find this ce if they weren’t purposely looking for it. Normally, people who open up ces like this
don’tck money, and their boss must be quite a sentimental person. If I’m not wrong, the chef here
must be the boss.”
His lips curled into a faint smile as he locked the car. “You’re right!”
As I followed him into the yard, a waiter greeted us and brought us to the second floor. The restaurant
wasn’t spacious, but there were lots of flowers and nts in the yard. It was quiet and had an artistic
vibe to it.
Marcus didn’t ask what I wanted when it was time to order. Instead, he took the initiative and picked the
dishes. Normally, he would choose unique dishes while making sure that they were to my liking.
I had a feeling that whoever became Marcus’s girlfriend in the future would definitely be spoiled.
This man was really good at taking care of people.
He handed the menu back to the waiter and said, “We’ll have tea, please.”
“Alright. Please wait for a moment.”
After the waiter left, I propped my chin up with my hand and said with confidence, “You’ll definitely have
a daughter in the future.”
Stunned by my remark, he smiled and asked, “And how did you know that?”
I nodded. “Because you take such good care of people. You must’ve been a yboy with lots of
mistresses in your past life.”
“Hah!” He burst intoughter. “Since when did you be a fortune-teller?”
“Since… a long time ago!” Out of the corner of my eye, I saw three people who just came upstairs.
Immediately, I shut my mouth.
Noticing my odd reaction, Marcus looked over too. Seeing that it was Reba, Cameron, and John, he
frowned and nced at me. “Do you know all of them?”
I nodded and shifted my gaze from them, my face turning grim.
When John saw me, he quickly walked over to us, looking flustered. Grabbing my arm, he said
somewhat emotionally, “Where have you been all this while?”
I furrowed my brows and pried his hand off. “I hid away to give birth. Where else could I go?”
“Where’s your child then?” he asked with a frown.
“It’s dead!” Starting to get frustrated, I shot a nce at Marcus.
Immediately, he got up and pulled John away, then suggested, “Mr. Stovall, we’re still eating now. It
seems that you’re also quite busy now. How about we find a chance to talk once you’re done?”
However, thetter’s face was icy cold as he looked at me. “Since when were you so close with him?”
I chuckled in amusement. “Since when did you care so much?”
Right then, Cameron and Reba walked over with smiles on their faces. The former’s gazended
on my belly. “Ms. Stovall, you managed to maintain such a great figure even after giving birth. I’m so
envious.”

I pursed my lips and clenched my fists. While suppressing my anger, I answered, “Ms. Anderson, you
should pray that Ms. Larson can be in good shape like me after giving birth. Oh, right. I paid great
attention duringbor. I will share what I did with Ms. Larson. As long as she follows the instructions,
she’ll be able to maintain a great figure too.”
Reba didn’t know what I was implying, so she was baffled. On the other hand, Cameron’s
expression changed drastically upon hearing what I said because she knew the implicit meaning
behind my words.
Her previous friendly facade disappeared as she stood in front of her daughter and replied in an icy
tone, “There’s no need. Not everyone is as lucky as you are, Ms. Stovall. It’s all a matter of fate.
Besides, Reba has been very fortunate all her life. As her mother, I would do my best to provide her
with whatever she wants.”
Hah…
People who still have their mothers around really are treated like treasures!
I smiled at that. “I hope that Ms. Larson would always be able to live a good life and never have to
suffer…”
“Of course!” With that said, Cameron dragged Reba away. She took a nce at John and said, “Mr.
Stovall, it seems that we have nothing to discuss anymore.”
