When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 377
He gave her a cold stare. “Joe will be responsible for taking care of you. Please refrain froming
here unless there’s something critical.”
Reba’s face paled even further. “Okay!” There was a slight tremble in the tone of her voice as she
spoke. She nodded her head as she tried to conceal the hurt gleaming in her eyes.
“It’ste now. Scarlett and I have matters to attend toter. You should head back first,” Ashton
continued emotionlessly, unmoved by Reba’s wounded expression.
It was clearly an order to leave. Both Reba and I could decipher the strict tone of his voice.
“Okay.” There was a trace of bitterness that flickered in her longing gaze. She left after that.
I pursed my lips as I watched her figure leave the vi. It was as if I could glimpse a hint of my past self
in her lonely back. “Ashton, do you treat all women so heartlessly?”
“I won’t treat you that way.” Ashton turned to me. His dark gaze resembled the night sky.
I decided not to tease him any further. “Why does Reba need your help to visit Cameron?” I asked
curiously.
What happened between the two of them?
“Have you ever thought of looking for your biological parents?” Ashton asked me as his stare clouded
over.
“Why did you change the topic so quickly?” For a moment, I was left speechless in shock.
“Answer my question,” Ashton’s brows pinched together.
“I’d be lying if I say no. However, it has been so many years. I wouldn’t know how to react if I ever meet
them again. I suppose we wouldn’t have the chance to reunite. Besides, I believe they had no ns to
reunite with me when they abandoned me back then. So, quite frankly, I no longer want to look for them
anymore,” I said after a fleeting thought.
“Why did you ask me about that?” I asked as I met his strange gaze.
He shook his head. “Go upstairs and change. We’ll head out in a while!”
I couldn’t help but scowl when I recalled the message Nick sent me: Are we really meeting Cameron for
a meal?
Ashton merely nodded—an indication that I should change my clothes.
At first, I wanted to deny his request. But on second thought, I decided to go along with him.
After freshening up in the bathroom, I put on a fresh outfit and dressed my face in ayer of light
makeup. When I descended the stairs, Ashton had already packed Summer’s diapers and milk bottles.
“Ashton, did you change Summer’s diapers?” I asked casually as I saw his smooth and practiced
movements.
He nodded in reply and moved the milk bottles into Summer’s stroller. “Let’s go,” Ashton called out.
I couldn’t help but feel useless when Ashton swiftly prepared Summer’s things before we headed out.
After pushing the stroller out of the vi, Ashton headed to the garage. While Ashton started the car, I
waited patiently for him in the yard as I braced the stroller in one hand.
The sight of a kneeling woman outside the yard gate left me stupefied. Realization dawned upon me
after a few moments. Reba hasn’t left the vi!
At the same time, Ashton noticed Reba as he drove over. Promptly, a deep frown graced his face.
Yet, he did notment on Reba’s presence. “Let’s go,” Ashton called out to me as he carried
Summer onto the car.
When Reba heard themotion, she rose to her feet from the vi steps and dashed in. Hurriedly,
she stood in front of the car’s path to block its way.
“Ash, are you going to meet my mother? Bring me along!” Reba pleaded when she saw Ashton.
“Joe will pick you upter,” Ashton replied in displeasure.
At Ashton’s rejection, Reba’s eyes reddened with sorrow. “It’s freezing! Ash, please! I’m begging
you to bring me along!”
“Come in!” I said in annoyance, “Ms. Larson, you do not have to resort to such wretched measures to
gain our pity.”
Reba’s face turned pale when she heard myment. Yet, she still shifted her pitiful gaze towards
Ashton.
Ashton’s mood turned foul at the sight of her pleading stare. “There’s no more space in the car! Wait for
Joe!” he snarled brusquely and started the car. Immediately, he drove around her and sped out of the
vi.
I peered at Reba’s motionless figure from the rearview mirror before turning to Ashton. “Could you
really bear to treat her that way?”
“Do you want me to take pity on her?” Ashton rebuked.
“Focus on the road!” Ashton’s mercy towards her made no difference to me.
During the ride, Summer behaved very obediently. The reason for her well-behaved mannerisms must
be due to her love for car rides. She was always very excited when she was in the car. asionally,
she’d reached her hands out to grasp at empty air.
Ashton stopped at the entrance of Pear Garden. Cameron and Zachary were already standing by the
gates when we arrived. It seemed as if they had been waiting for us for a long time.
“Wee! Dinner is ready. We have been expecting your arrival.” Cameron stepped forward with a
warm beam.
As Ashton carried Summer out of the car, Zachary and Cameron shared an equal look of shock in my
direction. “T-The child is alright?”
“Ms. Anderson, are you nning to make another move on me?” I asked her in a frigid tone.
Cameron’s bright eyes reddened with unshed tears as she shook her head to deny profusely. “It’s not
like that. My dear, please don’t think too much about it. I’m just d that your child is safe.”
“Let’s go.” Ashton did notment any further. Instead, he cradled Summer to his chest and turned to
me.
The dining hall was located on the first floor. Alongside Jackson and Nick, even Jared, who was rarely
seen, had attended the asion. Jared was apanied by Kristina.
It was a surprise to meet her here.
Jackson once told me that most of Macy’s troubles were caused by Kristina. I could feel my anger
growing the more I looked at her.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
