When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 255
Knowing that he would say that, I nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
Although I did not know what he nned to do, it had nothing to do with me. After all, I did not n to
rely on someone else to avenge me for all of my past sufferings. Except for myself, everyone else
merely served as support.
As I had to go to J City tomorrow, I went to bed early that night. Yet, as expected, I was still gued by
insomnia.
When Ashton noticed that I could not fall asleep, he embraced me with his arms. “Why don’t we do it
for the night?”
I was speechless.
There’s a huge difference between “do it for the night” and “do it once.”
“Ashton, I need to go to J City tomorrow. I don’t have the energy for that!” I chided before turning
around. With my back facing him, I closed my eyes and prepared to sleep.
He hugged me from behind. Although he did not do anything, I…
After a while, I frowned and said, “Ashton, I can’t sleep like this.”
“We’re a couple. Why can’t we do this?” He sounded so righteous.
I pursed my lips and inched towards the edge of the bed, trying to distance myself from him.
However, he quickly pressed his body against my back again. Left with no choice, I closed my eyes
again and tried to fall asleep.
However, the more I wanted to sleep, the more I failed to do so. Just like that, I was kept awake for the
entire night.
The next morning at 6 a.m., I woke up and got out of bed. As I had not slept at all, my body was weak,
and I could hear ringing in my ears. It felt extremely ufortable.
Ashton got up too. He probably had not gotten a restful sleep either. “I’ll send you to the airportter.”
“It’s alright. It’s still early, so you should sleep for a while longer!” I replied while heading into the
bathroom to wash up.
He changed out of his pajamas and pinched his nose bridge. “I’m fine. I can rest in the afternoon.”
Frowning, I suppressed my urge to refuse him and entered the bathroom. By the time I came out, he
had already changed his clothes.
Soon, we arrived at the airport.
Ashton parked the car outside the airport terminal and asked, “When will you be returning?”
Quickly rushing out of the car, I replied hastily, “I’ll return after the matter’s settled.”
When he saw how eager I was to get out of the car, he pulled me back and narrowed his eyes. “Why
don’t I apany you there?”
I frowned. As it was almost time for boarding, I could not help but feel anxious. “It’s fine. It’s not like I’ll
nevere back, right?”
He moved closer to me and smirked. Narrowing his eyes, he said, “I’m afraid that you’ll be reluctant to
return after you go there and meet someone.”
His words made me so uneasy.
When I saw that he was staring out of the car windows, I could not help but follow his gaze. Stunned, I
saw that Marcus had already arrived and was waiting at the entrance of the terminal.
No wonder Ashton’s suddenly acting so weird. Sighing, I looked at him and asserted, “Ashton, I’m there
to work!”
He pursed his lips and nodded. “I know. I’ll give you three days. If you don’t return after three days, I
won’t let you go on business trips alone anymore.”
Although he said it casually, his tone was very firm.
I nodded and got out of the car,menting silently in my mind. He’s nosing into my business.
Marcus passed the boarding ticket to me. ncing in Ashton’s direction, he narrowed his eyes and
remarked, “He seems to be really worried that you’ll elope with me.”
I shrugged and did notment on that. Instead, I reminded calmly, “It’s gettingte, so let’s board the
ne now!”
The ne ride from K City to J City took four hours. When we reached J City, it was just in time for
lunch.
Marcus then brought me to a restaurant in which he had already reserved seats. Initially, I nned to
return to Peakville Estate first. As the meeting with the president of OrbitTech was in the afternoon, I
could still return to the vi for a short rest.
However, as I could not argue against Marcus, I went to the restaurant with him.
Right then, Ashton’s call arrived just in time. The moment I sat in the car headed to the restaurant, he
called.
I picked it up. As I was a little tired, I did not really want to speak. Hence, I waited for him to say the first
word.
His voice was deep and emotionless. “Have you reached yet?”
“Yeah,” I mumbled softly. When I noticed Marcus staring at me, I continued, “I just reached the airport
and will be eating at a restaurantter.”
“Okay. I hired a maid to take care of the house. After finishing the business meeting at night, go home
earlier. Don’t stay outside for too long.” For some reason, he seemed a little naggy.
I nodded and muttered an acknowledgment. As he had something else to attend to, he hung up
afterward.
Marcus looked at me with his lips pursed. “He seems worried about me.”
I shrugged. Isn’t it obvious?
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
When he saw my reaction, he smiled and stopped mulling over it. “After the meeting, you can rest at J
City for a few days before going back. Since you’re used to this ce, it’s probably going to be a
comfortable stay for you.”
I nodded. When the car arrived at the restaurant, I got out of the car and entered with him.
As I did not have a good night’s sleep, I felt quite drowsy. After taking a few bites, I did not have much
of an appetite anymore.
Hence, I propped my chin up with my hand while waiting for Marcus to finish his meal.
“You b*tch! Who are you to control what I do?” The voice was extremely loud, especially in the quiet
restaurant, thus causing the rest to nce over.
Marcus and I peered in the direction of the voice too. A man had just thrown a te of roasted
vegetables at a woman.
As there were waiters surrounding them, we could not see their faces clearly. However, it could vaguely
be seen that the woman had been badly beaten up by the man.
When I saw that, I could not help but frown. Isn’t this domestic abuse? He’s beating her up in public. Is
no one going to stop him?
