When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 810
After answering the call, I heard Nora’s voice from the other end. “Babe, I’ll have to return to the city.
See you there.”
I froze for a while when I heard her sudden deration. “What’s wrong? Why are you going back
suddenly?” From how I know her, she will follow Armond around. Armond’s still here, so why is she
leaving?
She exined, “I’m here for quite long. There’s nothing left for me to enjoy. I’ll go back to the city and
hang out with Tabitha and Laurel for a few days. I’ll wait for you, and once you’re back, let’s go out and
have fun.”
I nodded. She must be bored with Lavelian Vige. After all, we were all busy with work and didn’t have
the time to hang out with her. Days went by, and I could see that her interest was running thin.
“Okay, have a safe trip then. I’ll call you when I get back.” I still had some work on my hands, so I
couldn’t see her off.
She hummed a reply and said, “Oh, by the way, what’s with Ashton and Reba yesterday? Don’t tell
me she’s one of his admirers. She seems gentle, but I can tell that she’s way difficult than that Rachel.
Can you handle it?”
I smiled gently at her concern. “It’s fine. Ashton only sees her as his sister. It’s no biggie, so don’t
worry.”
After gossiping for a while, we said our goodbyes and hung up.
Leedon looked at me and asked, “Ms. Stovall, have you had lunch yet? Let’s eat together.”
I nodded and got up from my seat. As we were leaving the office, he said, “I’ve heard that the
representatives of the third party for this project reached Lavelian Vige today. We’ll have to meet up
with them for the next few days.”
I gave a brief reply since I was rather unbothered by it. These types of extensive projects would
naturally involve third parties as the construction and funds were enormous.
This was one of the unwritten rules in construction projects. Truth be told, those people were only here
to supervise the twopanies.
The construction progressed rather smoothly, so it was inevitable for a third party to show up. I nodded
after digesting his words, as we would have to meet up with them.
Before we reached the restaurant at the base, we met Ashton and Reba. It seemed like they came
here on purpose.
When the woman saw me, she greeted me naturally, “Ms. Stovall, where are you going? Ash and I are
here to fetch you for lunch.”
Upon hearing her words, Leedon immediately left after bidding goodbye to us.
I looked at the two of them and frowned. “Where is Mr. Quinn?”
It seems this woman had gotten used to following Ashton around.
Ashton walked toward me and held my hand. “Joe has some matters to attend to. It’s gettingte, so
let’s go.”
Since they were here, I had to go with them. Lavelian Vige was a small area, so the restaurants were
rather limited, and there weren’t many types of food to choose from.
Hence, we just went to one of the restaurants. I didn’t know if Reba was just pretending to be
adorable or if that really was how she would normally behave. For the entire time, she had on an
innocent expression and would even act coquettishly now and then.
I stayed silent as I couldn’t bear with her behavior.
After ordering the food, she tugged at Ashton’s sleeve, asking him to go get some ice cream with her.
However, the man didn’t feel like going, so she went alone.
After she left, I rested my chin on my hand and asked, “Aren’t you worried about her now that you’re
not with her?”
He looked at me and smiled. “Are you jealous, Mrs. Fuller?”
I shrugged. “Not really. There’s nothing to be jealous about.”
He held my arm and shoved something into my hand. I was stunned for a while before lowering my
head to look at it. It turned out to be an exquisite box.
I raised my head to look at him and knitted my brows. “What is it?”
The man only smiled and urged, “Open it.”
I did as told and found a ne with intricate designs lying inside the box. I turned to look at him
while he smiled. “Put it on?”
“When did you buy this?” I studied the ne and knew that it wasn’t your usual ne that one
could just buy from the stores.
“Once, when I was attending an opening ceremony at K City, the organizer gave it to me. I heard that
there are only three of these nes in the world. It looks beautiful, and I figure you’ll like it, so I
brought it here for you.” He reached out and helped me put on the ne while exining.
“It looks good on you!” He sized me up and gave an apt answer.
Feeling his gaze on me, I felt ufortable, so I quickly changed the topic.
“Oh, by the way! How’s the investigation going?” We didn’t talk about the matters at the base yet. Now
that I thought of it, I blurted out.

“It’s not that urgent. Just finish your work on hand.” He didn’t intend to tell me about it.
The dishes were served, but Reba had not returned to us. I couldn’t help but look at Ashton and
said, “Reba has been out for so long. Will she be fine?”
He froze for a while before dialing a number. “Where is she?”
He must be asking the bodyguard who had been following Reba.
Suddenly, Ashton furrowed his brows, and his expression turned grim. “Go search for her.”
