When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 778
Ipletely forgot about that. “Yeah, sure. Do we go now? Or do we goter?” I nodded while
answering.
“Let’s go in the evening. Then we can stay there for the night. I am not really up yet. I will need some
time to get prepared. I’lle to get you when I’m done.”
I nodded and said, “Okay, just call me by that time.”
Last night’s events suddenly reyed in my mind. I asked, “Were you okayst night? Why are you up
so early today?” She did drink quite a lotst night.
She sighed, “Don’t talk about it. I was almost beaten up. If it weren’t because I wanted to pry Linda for
information, I wouldn’t drink that much alcohol. Seriously, my head is still hurting!”
“Armond is not around?”
“Yeah, he seems to have something on. He went out early in the morning. My grandpa’s call woke me
up, and I called you right away since I’m awake. I n to sleep for a while more. Let’s go overter.”
Her words were slurring. She must be getting sleepy.
“Alright, you get some sleep. I’ll read at home in the meantime. Do you want toe over for lunch
since Armond is not around?”
“No thank you,” she rejected. “I don’t think I will be awake by that time. Besides, isn’t that
expressionless guy at home right now? I am kind of intimidated by him, so I’ll pass.”
I smiled and didn’t insist.
After I hung up, I went straight into the study. Perhaps because this house was recently set up, there
weren’t many books in the study. There were mostly some documents and magazines.
While scanning the bookshelf, a book title caught my eye. Three Makes a Family. I reached for it and
started flipping through the pages.
I didn’t expect that Ashton would have such a wholesome book on his bookshelf. Since the book was to
my liking, I sat down and started reading.
Ashton noticed me reading and smiling to myself when he came in. He sat down beside me and asked,
“What are you reading? You are smiling so blissfully.”
I instinctively raised a hand to touch my face. “Do I look blissful?”
It was a rhetorical question, but he seemed to have understood it differently. He grinned from ear to ear
and announced, “You are blissful when you are with me!”
I was stunned. Maybe it was because of the book that I felt immense sweetness at what he said. “A
good love story makes the readers feel blissful as well. The characters have such a lovely little family,” I
said.
He smiled and asked, “So when are youing back to K City with me? We have a family of three
too.”

He was coaxing me to go back to K City again. I lowered my head a bit and thought about it. “We’ll
think about it afterpleting the Lavelian Vige project.”
As we spoke about it, I became lost in my own thoughts. People change like the seasons. A few days
ago, I was nning to get divorced from him. A few dayster, we were joined at the hip. Nobody saw
thising at all.
“What are you thinking?” He pulled me into his arms and sniffed my hair. “You smell so nice!”
I leaned into him and replied cheekily, “I am thinking of what to eat for lunch!”
He chuckled right next to my ear. “Glutton!” hemented. “I may need to go out for a while. I will ask
Joseph to send over some food to youter.”
I processed what he said and nodded. My mind shed back to the number that I saw on his phone
screen just now. Thatbination of numbers was familiar to me. Even after so many years, Reba
did not intend to change her number.
Does this mean Reba is in A City now?
I did not ask Ashton about it. A few calls came in, and it seemed to be very urgent. I looked on
nonchntly and did notment.
He grabbed his phone and said to me, “Remember to eat your lunch. Wait for me toe back in the
evening. We will have dinner together.”
I nodded and waved my hand, indicating for him to go ahead.
I certainly wasn’t expecting to get a call from Rachel. She cut straight to the chase and asked, “Can we
meet?”
I hesitated, and then asked, “You need to see me?”
“Yeah.”
After looking at the time, I replied, “You only have two hours.”
“Okay,” she responded without missing a beat, “I will see you at Nenya.”
A café?
The only reason she would want to see me would be to talk about Ashton.
I set out after tidying up a little. Nora was still hungover, she would need to sleep for some time. The
time would be just right when Ie back after this meet-up.
At Nenya Café.
Rachel was seated beside a window, and the view outside was quite picturesque.
Even when she noticed my arrival, she kept her head turned to the side. She knew I was there but did
not bother to turn to look at me. She lifted her teacup, with her other hand holding on to the saucer
below it. Her posture was faultlessly elegant.
“Ms. Zimmer, you didn’t just call me over to admire your elegance, did you?” I mocked while sitting
down opposite her.
She only turned to face me when she heard me speak. Her eyes skimmed over my outfit judgmentally.
I frowned a little and exined with a smile, “I came out in a hurry, so I just wore what I was
comfortable in. You’re really an exquisite woman, Ms. Zimmer. Every time I see you, you look different.”
She turned her gaze away and put down her cup. “Men always seem to hold on to their first love,” she
said slowly.
