When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 828


    Noticing his balled-up fist, I braced myself for it tond on me. But it didn’t.


    After a long moment, he turned his gaze on me. In his eyes, I could see a mixture of sorrow,


    disappointment, and despondent.


    “Very well!” he finally uttered the only words he could muster and mmed the door shut as he left the


    room, resulting in a loud bang that reverberated throughout the house.


    This is going to be another sleepless night…


    The next morning, despite having very little sleep, I had to be at Lavelian Vige for a site inspection.


    When I arrived at the meeting point, Rachel and Marcus were already there, which caught me by


    surprise. The reason being I did not expect Marcus to make an appearance in a task that was usually


    carried out by the site supervisor.


    “Ms. Stovall, I hope you don’t think the world revolves around you just because you’re the president’s


    wife. If you can’t even arrive at a meeting on time, I suggest you just assume the role of a housewife,


    since Mr. Fuller already has more than enough to support you.”


    Rachel made a snarkyment on ount of my tardiness. But I did arrivete, so there was no point


    in me getting back at her.


    Pursing my lips, I ignored her remark and took over a project checklist from Leedon before turning to


    Marcus. “Mr. White, shall we do a walk-around to familiarize ourselves with the site perimeters?”


    Marcus nodded. He nced at Rachel indifferently but didn’t say anything. After a moment of silence,


    his gaze fell on me and he asked, “Are you very busytely? You look overworked.”


    “Oh, I’m alright. Just didn’t sleep well that’s all,” I replied while shaking my head.


    This turned out to be a major undertaking as it not only involved a thorough inspection of the


    construction security, but we also needed to coordinate with departments from differentpanies. We


    had spent the whole morning covering the inspections for a few bases.


    To avoid future misunderstandings, the three of us carried out the assessment together and had to


    achieve consensus on every single inspection detail. As such, we were all tuckered out by noon and


    were resting in a visitors’ room outside the base.


    It was about noontime and everyone decided to break for lunch. I was feeling all drained out from sleep


    deprivation and walking all morning.


    “Let’s take a break and have something to eat,” Marcus’ voice rang from in front of me. I lifted my head


    to see him dressed in a ck suit while holding a white takeout container.


    “It’s your favorite chicken casserole,” he said while holding out the container.


    I let out a slight smile. “Thank you, Mr. White. You’re right on time.” I took over the food and started


    devouring my lunch.


    Marcus found a seat next to me and sat down quietly while I munched on my lunch. He waited till I was


    almost done with my food before he spoke slowly. “We’ve covered pretty much all of the important


    aspects this morning. Why don’t you take time off this afternoon to get some rest? Sleep deprivation


    takes a heavy toll on your health.”


    I sighed a little. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”


    He tilted his head in my direction. “Did you have a row with Ashtonst night?”


    I was hesitant for a brief moment before I swallowed my food and replied with a smile, “Just normal


    fighting like every other couple. We’ll be okay eventually.”


    He pursed his lips. “What did you guys argue about?”


    Finally finished my food, I looked at him with amusement. “What, are you a marriage counsellor now?”


    He smiled softly while passing me a ss of water. “You should consider yourself lucky that I’m about


    to give out free advice today.”


    I took a sip of water and replied, “We’re really okay. It’s just one of those trivial things all couples


    encounter. Oh yeah, the Harvest Festival is approaching. Are you going back to K City?”


    He thought about it for a moment before replying, “Yeah, I will.”


    I nodded and fell silent.


    Even though the sun was zing hot today after the downpour fromst night, I still politely declined


    Marcus’ suggestion for me to take a nap at the hotel after lunch.


    Nheless, I started to feel a dull pain in my abdomen and winced a little. Marcus noticed my


    difort and walked up to me. “Are you alright?”


    Shaking my head, I put my hand over my lower belly. “Just a little twinge in the tummy. Might have


    been the food this morning.”


    Marcus frowned as he stood up. “Come, I’ll bring you to the hospital for a quick check-up,” the man


    said while holding onto my arm.

    I shook my head again, thinking that it might also be my menstruation since it was about that time of


    the month. Before I could reject, I noticed from the corner of my eyes that the frame of the sunshade


    awning above us wasing off.


    After a few seconds, I finally realized what a perilous situation we were in. Before I could utter another


    word, Marcus was already one step ahead and was about to pull me away from where we stood.


    However, before I managed to take another step, my stomach had a sudden cramp and I froze on the


    ground. Seeing that the awning was about to fall, I pushed Marcus away and yelled, “Go! Go without


    me!”
