When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 814
Armond stood up and greeted him with a smile. “Thank you foring, Mr. White. We’ve ordered the
dishes, and they will be served soon.”
After that, Marcus was invited to sit opposite me. I could not help but frown. How is he the
representative of the third-partypany?
As I nced to the side, I saw Ashton peeling the lobster that had been served just now. When he saw
me looking at him, he shed me a smile. “Hungry?”
I shook my head and opened my mouth to verbally decline him. But before I could say no to him, he
had put a piece of shelled lobster into my mouth.
I was stunned for a second before starting to chew on it. The lobster was surprisingly delicious.
He looked at me and grinned. “How’s the taste?”
“It’s good,” I replied, nodding my head.
Smiling, he continued to shell the lobster gracefully and said with a gentle tone of voice, “Slow down. I’ll
peel more for you.”
He was acting as if no other people were eating together with us.
As I continued to enjoy the lobster, I gradually understood the situation. Judging from Ashton’s
behavior, it seemed that he had known that Marcus woulde today, and that was why he followed
me to this dinner.
All of a sudden, I noticed a sharp re from the side. I looked up and saw Reba shooting daggers
at me. She looked as if she wanted to swallow me alive.
Grinning at her childish behavior, I arched my brow at her. Looks like someone hasn’t given up yet. Is
this already too much for her to tolerate? Then, I cocked my head to the side and looked at Ashton,
saying, “I want more, Ashton.”
He ced the lobster that he had peeled into my mouth and gazed at me adoringly. “Slow down. You
might choke.”
I nodded and threw Reba a nce, smiling smugly at her.
As soon as she caught the look on my face, her face turned bright red with anger.
“Mr. and Mrs. Fuller is such a lovey-dovey couple. I don’t know about others, but I’m jealous. Haha.”
Armond tried to ease the awkwardness with a joke.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile, “There are too many two-faced partners nowadays.
I hope Mr. Fuller would be sincere to Letty.”
Hearing the affectionate nickname from Marcus, Armond jolted in surprise. “Both of you know each
other?”
“In fact, we’ve known each other for a long time.” Marcusnded his gaze on me and looked at me
lovingly. “This girl is so cold-hearted. She’s been ignoring me ever since thest quarrel we had, and
yet I’m still missing her every day.”
My eyes opened wide, utterly speechless at his speech. When on earth did that happen?
Upon hearing the confession from Marcus, Armond could not help but ask, “So, the two of you are
really close to each other?”
“Yeah. We are even closer than friends. Am I right, Letty?” Marcus replied while eyeing me.
I frowned at his bold words.
Before I could rify my rtionship with Marcus, Ashton had beaten me to it. “Since Uncle Benjamin –
Marcus’s father – is the husband of my aunt, it’s true that Mr. White and my wife are more than friends
because they are also rtives. But now that Aunt Sally has left the White Corporation, the rtion
between the two families is not as close as before. Therefore, Mr. White, I hope that you could think
twice before you speak next time. After all, it affects my wife’s reputation as well.”
After speaking, he put the lobster in his hand into my mouth.
The atmosphere became more awkward. Fortunately, the waiters had begun to serve more dishes,
distracting our attention.
Armond probably sensed theplexity of our rtionships, so he invited everyone to dig in and
cracked a few more jokes, trying to ease the tension.
As a sign of respect to Armond – the host of the dinner, everyone dropped the topic as well. Ultimately,
we were gathered here tonight for the Lavelian Vige project, not for petty squabbles.
Throughout the meal, I was the one who felt the most ufortable. Marcus would put food on my
te every now and then, and Ashton was stuffing so much food into my mouth, hoping that I would
not take any food given by the others.
Moreover, I had to endure Reba’s icy re and Rachel’s contemptuous gaze at the same time.
When the meal finally came to an end, Marcus looked towards me and asked, “Letty, where are you
staying? I see that you’ve eaten a lot just now. Why don’t we go out for a walkter? It’d help with
digestion.”
Pursing my lips, I shook my head and rejected him. “No, thanks. I…”
“My wife and I still have something else to do after this, but thank you for your kind offer, Mr. White.”
With that, he brought me out of the room straight away.
Although Marcus was unhappy with it, he took the hint and said no more.
As we walked out of the private room, I felt bloated indeed, so I started to think about where Ashton
and I should go for a walk.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
However, I needed to go to the restroom first.
After I asked Ashton to wait for me in the lobby, I headed straight to the restroom to relieve myself.
When I got out of the restroom cubicle, I saw Rachel by the sink. Pulling out a piece of tissue, she eyed
me disdainfully. “Scarlett, I don’t care how messy your personal life is, but the Lavelian Vige project is
the product of my hard work. So, you’d better not mess it up, or else I will not let you off the hook
easily.”
