When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 375
Ashton carried Summer in his embrace as he tiptoed out of the room. A smile tugged Jackson’s lips
upwards, and he tried to stifle hisughter when he saw Ashton’s expression.
If Ashton didn’t always have a cool and stoic demeanor, I suspected that he would have burst out
laughing immediately.
I was gued with a pounding headache and had no desire to meet Cameron.
As I followed Ashton to the car, he carefully ced Summer in the back seat and strapped her in the
toddler seat. After that, I made my way to the back of the car.
Jackson and Nick had already moved all of the stuff to the car. Unfortunately, Nick was forced to leave
after a quick greeting because he had to hurry to his office.
Ashton started the car and exited Glenwood residential area. “I thought that you didn’t like attending
dinner functions?” I asked him while on the journey.
“Didn’t you notice that Nick has been extremely busytely?” he replied coolly as he pursed his lips.
“Yeah, a little!” I jolted in shock before answering in response to the sudden change of topic.
“Have you figured out the reason for that?” Because of Summer’s presence in the car, his driving pace
was slower than usual.
“Hees from a wealthy family and has a great fortune under his name. It doesn’t matter if Cameron
controls the Harrisons’ family business as Nick is still the rightful heir of the Harrisons. He formed
Harrison Credit in part of his interest in the field while sharpening his skills. Seeing as it’s the year-end
now, there shouldn’t be any audit assignments. However, he seems really busy. Does heck money?
Or has he bumped into something troublesome?”
“Good analysis!” Ashton said approvingly, “It shows that you’re not that stupid.”
What is he implying?
“So, what trouble did Nick run into?” I asked again while I yed with Summer.
“Have you heard about the butterfly effect?”
“Does it mean that the gentle flutter of a butterfly’s wings will ignite a storm?” I asked him quizzically.
“Yeah,” he replied. His eyes were fixated on the road ahead with unwavering focus.
Ashton added, “Cameron’s affairs do not only affect the development of her personal assets, but rather,
all businesses in connection to her. This means that all businesses under the Harrisons have
subsequently taken a hit as well—including Harrison Credit under Nick. That being said, Cruise
Corporation is a well-establishedpany. Hence, they have the necessary capital to buffer the
pressure during this critical period.
“However, the same can’t be said for Harrison Credit. It has been established for only two years. Sure,
it has gained a good reputation and sizeable ie over these two years. However, those alone would
not be enough to withstand the adverse external forces. This is especially true in the case of a credit
company. In fact, many bigpanies have terminated their contract with Harrison Credit.”
I was stunned at Ashton’s exnation. With a furrowed brows, I asked, “Before the year ends, Nick
needs to find a fewpanies to work with to keep hispany afloat?”
“Yup!” He nodded in confirmation.
“Is Fuller Corporation not working with him anymore?” At that moment, Summer raised her chubby
fingers to wind them around my hand. Curiously, she peered around her surroundings with a bright,
round gaze.
“Nope, the contract signed between Fuller Corporation and himst year only includes the branch in J
City. This year, I moved the head office to K City. Byparison, our capital has been reduced by half.”
“Isn’t there still Quinn Corporation?”
As the car entered Peakville Estate, he pursed his lips in deep thought. “Quinn Corporation is in a
simr situation. Have you forgotten? Quinn Corporation has assigned the job to AC Credit.”
Right! I was once kidnapped by Savini because of that.
I couldn’t help but frown at the thought of that unpleasant memory.
It was already noon when we reached the vi. “You should go check on her. I’ll move the stuff back,”
Ashton said after he carried Summer to the baby room.
I nodded in agreement. After a few steps, I turned to look at him again. “Ashton, I’m hungry.”
Having not eaten anything since morning, I began to feel the effects of skipping breakfast right then. I
didn’t eat either when I was at Jackson’s earlier.
Ashton raised his head before he burst outughing. “Are you ming me? What happened to the egg
that I gave you this morning?”
“I left it at Jackson’s house!” I pouted with a jut of my bottom lip as I looked at him with a helpless gaze.
Ashton chortled at my pleading expression. “What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for youter,” he
asked.
“Anything is fine!” I replied with arge grin painted across my face as I watched him unload the stuff
from the back of the car. “Ashton, you look like the perfect househusband right now!” I teased him with
a giggle.
“Come and shut the car door,” he instructed as he nced over to me.
I nodded and made my way towards him. After I shut the door, I trailed behind him back to the vi. “If
you could breastfeed and have a child of your own, it wouldn’t be a bad idea if you remain unmarried.
Right?”
“What are you trying to say?” Ashton turned around and asked with a pinch of his brows.
“I’m trying to praise you!”
“You should reward me in a more practical way!” Ashton retorted as he ced the stuff in the baby
room.
Without hesitation, I sidled closer and tiptoed to raise myself before nting a delicate kiss on Ashton’s
cheek. “Is this good enough?” I asked cheekily.

His eyes darkened as I stepped away. “I’ll settle the scores with you tonight,” he said.
Summer was an obedient child. She would not make a fuss as long as she was well fed and had
enough sleep, staying quietly where she was, watching her surroundings. asionally, she would
reach out to grab items that piqued her interest.
Meanwhile, Ashton was busy in the kitchen. He had left his phone in the baby room after moving the
stuff.
