When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 819


    His expression turned sombre. “Are you not confident in my love for you? Why do you think that I would


    not consider your feelings?”


    “That’s the worst-case scenario,” I replied truthfully.


    “What’s the most favorable one?”


    “You’d care about me and reject all the other women for me.”


    Heughed and leaned towards me. “Scarlett, I love you more than you’ll ever know.”


    However, I pushed him away, stood up, and nced at his injured arm. “Ashton, this is the second time


    you get hurt because of another woman. To be honest, I’m not happy about it.”


    As soon as I finished speaking, I took the basin to the bathroom and took a shower.


    When I got out of the shower, I noticed a bouquet of roses in the room. It was rather beautiful. Ashton


    sat on the bed and grinned at me. “I know saying sorry is not enough to cheer you up, so I got you


    flowers. At least it’s pleasing to the eye.”


    I gave him a nonchnt shrug. Indeed, flowers always make women happy.


    “I pity your personal assistant, Joseph.” It must have been difficult for him to get flowers at this hour


    and send them to our room in such a short time.


    Chuckling, he scooted over and patted the spot next to him. “Come here.”


    Looking at the clock, I realized that it was gettingte. It’s time to turn in.


    After I applied my skincare products, I went toy down beside him and saw that he had not slept yet.


    He seemed to have something to say, so I asked, “Is there anything troubling you?”


    He nodded and said in a serious manner, “I’m not sure about your attitude towards Marcus. It worries


    me.”


    I was stunned for a second before it dawned on me the meaning behind his words. “Marcus and I are


    only friends and business partners. Apart from that, we won’t have any other rtionship.”


    Satisfied with my answer, he smiled and pecked me on the lips. Due to his injury, he did nothing more


    and went to sleep.


    I waspletely exhausted after such a long day. As soon as I closed my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.


    Since Ashton had injured his arm, he would definitely need help in his daily routine activities. Therefore,


    I nned to wake up earlier than usual to attend to his needs. However, when I woke up the next day,


    the spot beside me was empty, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom.


    I quickly got out of bed and saw him struggling to twist a towel. He cursed under his breath and


    furrowed his eyebrows in frustration.


    I held back myughter and walked to his side. Taking away the towel in his hands, I said, “I’ve told you


    to call me whenever you need help. It’s hard to do this alone.”


    When he saw meing in, his frown disappeared instantly. “Did I wake you up?”


    “Nope.” I wring the towel dry and raised my hand to wipe his face. “I usually wake up at this hour.


    Besides, it’s my husband who got hurt. How could I not get up early to take care of him?”


    With his hands on the sink, he leaned back and lowered his head slightly so that I could reach him


    easily. Enjoying my “service,” he suggested, “You should be my private caregiver today. What do you


    think?”


    Although it sounded as if it was a request, I knew that it was amand. Hence, I nodded. “No


    problem. Hmm, but you have to go to the city to work. I can’t leave Lavelian Vige at the moment.”


    He nodded in response. After thinking for a while, he said, “I won’t go to the city today. I’ll stay here.”


    I gave him an “OK” hand gesture. After both of us were done freshening up, I went back to the room to


    change my clothes. Since the weather was good and there would be less work today, I figured wearing


    a dress would not be a nuisance. Therefore, I took out a dress that I had not worn for a long time from


    the wardrobe.


    It was a nice knee-length dress that enhanced the slenderness of my legs. Besides, since I seldom


    wore bottoms that exposed my legs, the skin tone of my lower limbs was quite fair. My legs looked long


    and fair in this dress.


    Then, I went to the dressing table and applied some light makeup. Otherwise, I would look nd in this


    outfit. A momentter, Ashton came out from the bathroom andnded his gaze on my legs, frowning.


    I paid no heed to his frown and continued my makeup. When I was ready, he had also changed into a


    well-pressed suit, looking smart and dashing. I took my bag and said, “Let’s have breakfast at the


    restaurant downstairs.”


    He nodded in response. Bending down to put on my shoes, I suddenly noticed that he was still


    frowning at me. “What’s the matter?” I asked, puzzled.


    He pursed his lips. “Nothing.”


    There were not many people by the time we arrived at the restaurant. cing my hand at the crook of


    his arm, I brought him to a table by the window and sat down.


    On a fine morning like this, the vige against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush green forests was a


    pretty sight to behold.


    With such a spectacr view of the natural scenery, my mood improved significantly. After ordering


    some food, I put my chin on my hand and continued to admire the beautiful scenery outside the


    window.


    A few minutester, I noticed that Ashton was looking at me. I thought that he needed my help, so I


    turned to him and asked, “Do you need anything else? I can take it for you.”Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
