When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 376
When the phone buzzed in the room, Summer turned towards the direction of the noise and listened
intently in a curious manner.
I did not bother picking up the call. “Ashton, your phone is ringing!” I yelled towards the kitchen.
“Pick it up!” he answered curtly as the sound of sshing water echoed from the kitchen.
I nced towards his phone and noticed Reba’s name shing across the screen.
Instinctively, a frown graced my face when I caught sight of her name. Once I answered her call, I was
instantly greeted by her loud wails that echoed across the phone.
“Ash, you shoulde to visit me. I don’t know why my mother insists on me staying in the hospital.
Why isn’t she letting me return to Pear Garden? Do you think that she doesn’t want me anymore?”
Reba sobbed in anguish.
Cameron doesn’t want Reba back in Pear Garden? Why not?
“Ms. Larson, I suggest you contact Mr. Quinn for your problems. That would be more appropriate. Right
now, your beloved Ash is cooking for his daughter and wife. I’m sure that he does not have the spare
time to handle your affairs,” I said coldly.
Upon hearing my voice, Reba’s mood seemed to take a drastic turn. “Why did you pick up Ashton’s
phone? Scarlett, do you have no shame?”
Gosh, this woman has a rotten mouth. It seems that anything thates out of her is malicious.
“Why can’t I pick up the call on my husband’s behalf? You don’t think you share an intimate rtionship
with my husband, do you? By the way, you should take this opportunity to reflect upon your actions—
even your parents detest you! Don’t harass my family and me anymore!”
“Scarlett, you…”
I ended the call before she could finish her sentence. There was no point continuing when I knew that
she would be cussing me out.
I tossed Ashton’s phone aside as soon as I hung up the call. Before I could react, I was enveloped in a
back hug.
“Say it again,” Ashton’s maic voice sounded.
There was a hint of oil and smoke that clung to his body. However, the smell did not affect his charming
presence. “What do you want me to say?”
“What did you call me just now?” he asked in a deep voice.
His question left me stunned for a moment. “Husband?”
Ashtonughed delightedly as his stubble rubbed against my cheek when he kissed me. “One more
time,” he demanded.
“Aren’t you going to help Reba?” I asked him with an angry huff and pushed him off my body.
“I thought you asked her to look for Joe? Why do I have to go to her still?” Ashton said with an amused
grin.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in exasperation. “Has Cameron been neglecting Reba?” I asked
while I walked towards the crib to gaze at Summer.
It was clear that Reba’s health was deteriorating. Not only did Cameron forbid her from nursing her
health in K city, she even moved her to J City. Furthermore, why did she ban her from Pear Garden?
Seeing as I changed the subject abruptly, Ashton asked helplessly as he face-palmed, “That’s none of
your business. When did you be such a meddler?”
“I’m not meddling. I’m just curious,” I argued. Summer clutched onto my head while her tiny mouth
gaped open repeatedly.
It looked like she was hungry.
It seemed like Ashton held no interest regarding Reba. “Jackson will help her if needed. Summer is
hungry. Are you going to eat first or feed her first?” he asked.
I am going to feed her first, of course!
“You should leave and give me some privacy!” I glowered at him.
“Which part of your body have I not seen before?”
“Don’t you think that you are acting strangely?”
“You’re my wife. How is that strange?” Ashton replied in a tone full of self-confidence.
I didn’t expect Reba woulde to Peakville Estate herself. Summer was already in a deep
slumber by then.
I was halfway eating when the doorbell rang, and Ashton rose to his feet to greet the door. After a long
moment of silence, I couldn’t help but look over to the door.
Much to my surprise, Reba was on the front porch. Herplexion was extremely haggard and
sickly pale.
In the few days that we hadn’t met, she looked like she’d be even skinnier than before.
Initially, I didn’t n to head over. However, it would seem rude and inappropriate.
I caught wind of Reba’s faint voice as I padded over to the door. “I want to stay out of your life as
well and leave a good impression on you. At least, you would still think of me once in a while. Unlike
now, I’m nothing but an annoyance to you! However, I have no choice. Ash, I came looking for you
because you are my only hope.”
“Come in and talk,” I interjected before Ashton could reply.

Ashton whirled around to meet my gaze for a brief second before he stepped aside indifferently to let
Reba in.
Reba didn’t show any surprise when she caught sight of my figure. Instead, her face darkened.
“Ash, I’ll face death if you don’t help me,” she continued to beg him desperately.
Ashton had always been an aloof person. When it came to Reba, his stance gravitated towards
responsibility rather than affinity. “What do you want?” he asked her icily.
Reba took a deep breath. She didn’t anticipate for Ashton to treat her in such a harsh manner.
“Bring me to my mother,” she said with a pale face.
I was stunned by Reba’s request. Why did she need Ashton’s help to meet her own mother?
“Alright,” Ashton replied brusquely. His demeanor remained as cold as ever.
