    When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 723


    On the other hand, I was lost in my thoughts. Channing mentioned Grandma just now. Maybe he


    knows her?


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Although I had a lot of questions, I squelched the urge to ask them in the end. When will Nora take me


    to visit Channing privately?


    My intention was not to get on his good side. Rather, I was curious about my Grandma’s past as I


    thought she had always lived in R Province.


    However, it was strange that she knew George. Not to mention, she always carried a mysterious and


    exquisite box with her. Seeing as even the Oberick family in A City knew her, it was highly likely that


    Grandma was not from R Province.


    “Scarlett!” Leedon had been calling out to me quite a few times now. He pulled on my arm and said,


    “Channing is talking to you!”


    I paused for a while before gazing at Ashton. His dark eyes were directed at me with his lips pursed.


    Channing was holding back hisughter as he nced at me with his gentle eyes. “Thisdy here


    nked out!”


    I immediately got up to bow and apologize. “I didn’t mean to, Mr. Oberick. I’m so sorry!”


    Channing burst outughing. “It’s fine, it’s fine. You young ins prefer a more cheerful atmosphere. I get


    it! Eating with an old man like me is indeed quite boring.”


    My face turned red as the awkwardness consumed me. Before I could exin to Channing, Ashton


    interrupted and uttered, “She has always been like this. Pay no mind to her, Mr. Oberick.”


    Channing red at me with a smile on his face and replied, “Thisdy here seems rather familiar to


    me. I’m not sure where I’ve seen her before.”


    “Mr. Oberick, I heard that you are quite fond of tea bowls. I’ve brought a set of tea bowls from K City as


    a gift to you. Please have a look if you like them or not.”


    At that moment, all eyes in the room were drawn to the tea bowls.


    Rachel’s tea bowls looked delicate and refined. Any old man with a love for antique tea sets would be


    very happy to receive them.


    Everyone started gathering around the antique tea set and was chatting fervently with each other.


    Leedon moved his chair closer to mine and queried, “Are you close to Mr. Fuller?”


    I paused for a second before shaking my head. “Why?”


    “Nothing. It’s just that he seems to be staring at you most of the time!” He grinned. “Mr. Fuller tends to


    be cold toward others. It’s rare to see him direct his attention all on one person. Besides, he already


    has such a beauty beside him!”


    I smiled in response.


    While Rachel talked to Channing, she inevitably moved closer to Ashton, who stood in between them. It


    looked like she was clinging on to thetter.


    I took a sip of water and smiled as Rachel and Channing were still having their conversation. Rachel,


    who was also getting thirsty, drank from the ss of water that was in front of Ashton. A lipstick mark


    was left on the side of the ss.


    Unperturbed by it, Ashton continued talking to Channing.


    While the waiter was serving the dishes, everyone was talking to each other happily. Rachel helped


    Channing to get some food on his te before uttering, “Mr. Oberick, you must visit K City when you’re


    free. The food made by Aunt Sally is very delicious. You must try it for yourself.”


    Channing nodded and replied, “Sally refused to even step foot in the kitchen when she was young. It


    must’ve been quite hard for her.”


    My mind nked out for a second. When did Rachel and Sally get this close?


    After leaving K City for so long, it would make sense for me to miss out on minuscule things like this.


    Leedon toned down his voice and said, “I’ve heard before that Mr. Fuller was married, but I never found


    out who his wife is. Could his wife be Ms. Zimmer here?”


    I lowered my head and continued eating my food. “I’m not sure!”


    Leedon murmured, “Ms. Zimmer here always acts coldly toward other people except for Mr. Fuller. That


    being said, she can be quite caring when ites to the elderly. I think she’ll be a great fit for Mr.


    Fuller.”


    I remained taciturn and continued munching my food.


    Channing probably misunderstood the rtionship between Rachel and Ashton as he was exhorting


    them to live the rest of their lives happily with each other.


    Ashton pursed his lips and gazed at me with his cold eyes. Seeing as I was rather calm, he was getting


    even more irritated. He did nothing to clear Channing’s misunderstanding.


    Unsurprisingly, Rachel was very happy about the situation. She listened attentively to Channing and


    agreed to everything he said.


    As Channing was busy eating, I got up and went to the bathroom. On my way out of the bathroom, the


    outdoor swimming pool caught my eye.


    I couldn’t help walking through the corridor that led to the swimming pool. Since it was an afternoon in


    August, there were copious amounts of people there. The children were hanging on to their floaties as


    they were ying in the pool.


    There weren’t many people in the deep section of the pool except for a few men who looked like they


    came here as a pastime.


    I sat down in the lounge area. I’ll wager that the old man hasn’t finished his meal yet. Since he has both


    Rachel and Ashton to apany him, I think I can just chill out here for a while.


    In the meantime, there was a couple, who were both in swimsuits, sitting by the pool. They were


    probably teenagers who had just started dating each other. Both of them were blushing to see each


    other in a swimsuit.
