When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 861
“Okay, remind me again before we go.” After a short pause, I nced at him. “Ashton, can I ask you a
question?”
He raised a brow. “What is it?”
“I’ve always thought that you’re angry with your grandpa because he broke you and Reba up, but I
realized that wasn’t true. Can you tell me why you were so mad at your grandpa?” Some incidents of
the past were etched in my memory. I remembered he hadn’t shown up during his grandfather’s
funeral.
His gaze darkened a little at my question. After staring at me in silence for a while, he said, “It’s been
so long. I don’t really remember why I was so mad at that time.”
Baffled by his answer, I was tongue-tied, so I stopped questioning him.
The following day.
Ashton and I went to Fuller Corporation together. The number of reporters waiting downstairs had
reduced significantly. They must have left because of theck of newsworthy information over the past
few days.
Sasha’s parents were not around as well. I reckoned that they were taking care of their granddaughter
at the hospital.
The lobby that used to be morous was now back to normal.
The moment I stepped through the entrance, Ste skipped to my side and spoke while looking at me.
“Mrs. Fuller, you’re here. Isn’t it great that Sasha’s grandparents stoppeding over? You’re
amazing!”
Ovee with excitement and joy, shepletely overlooked the man beside me. For a moment, I
thought she was about to twirl around me in delight while holding my arm.
After a while, Ste finally spotted Ashton. She hurriedly let go of me and greeted him respectfully, “I’m
sorry, Mr. Fuller. So sorry.”
ncing at her indifferently, Ashton reached out to hold my hand. Without a word, he brought me into
an elevator.
In the elevator, Ashton gave me a sideways nce. “Now I know you have a way with both men and
women.”
Hisment befuddled me. My cheeks flushed red when I finally wrapped my head around his words.
“Cut the nonsense. I worked with her yesterday while dealing with Sasha’s parents. What are you
thinking?”
He chuckled and pulled me into a hug. “That my wife is very sociable.”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop teasing me!”

Later in the evening, I thought of Summer after preparing dinner, so I called Cameron. The phone rang
for quite a while before it was picked up. “Hello, this is the Moore Residence.” Zachary’s voice sounded
on the other side of the phone.
Thendline phone didn’t disy the caller ID, so he spoke rather formally. I froze for a second. “Dad,
it’s me, Scarlett.”
The man remained silent for a short while before asking gently, “Letty, have you eaten? Are youing
home tonight?”
I chuckled. “I’ve just finished cooking. I’m staying at Ashton’s tonight. Have you guys had your dinner?
How’s Summer today?”
“Mmm. She’s fine, and her fever’s gone. I guess she’ll recover soon. Your mom and aunt are cooking
dinner in the kitchen now. We’re going to eat soon. Is Fuller Corporation alright?”
I nodded and chatted a little longer with him before ending the call.
Just as I was about to have my dinner, my phone rang with a call from Armond. Picking it up, I greeted
him. “Hello, Mr. Murphy.” I habitually addressed him the way I did at work.
I heard a sigh from the other side. “You can call me by my name when we’re not at work. I heard from
Nora that you’re in K City. Are you free to have lunch with me tomorrow?”
His words reminded me of the promise I made to him in Epea, which I put off up till now. Without a
second thought, I agreed, “Sure. Let me know the time and the venue. I’m free tomorrow.”
He hummed without saying a word.
After hanging up the phone, Ashton’s dark eyes were fixed on me. “Was that Armond?”
I nodded. “When I was in Epea, I promised that I would give him the sandalwood box my grandma
gave me once we returned to our country safely. Perhaps he’s interested in that box.”
Ashton’s forehead creased slightly. He kept quiet for a second before asking, “Haven’t you thought
about why your grandma has the sandalwood box?”
I nodded. “I’ve thought about it, but I can’t figure it out.”
With his intense gaze still fixed on me, he said, “The way you met Armond seems deliberate to me.
Scarlett, it does no harm to stay alert, no matter what you do.”
I was perplexed, yet his words made sense to me, so I nodded my head in agreement and hummed
several times.
He dropped the subject afterward.
Alba Street.
Heirloom Cafe.
Following the address Armond gave me, I arrived at the restaurant, and a waiter guided me to the table
where Armond was. It was alreadyte autumn in K City. He was dressed in a casual Korean-style
outfit. His hair was neat and chic. A beige trench coat was draped over the back of the chair next to
him. His look made him look as dashing as a Korean idol.
The restaurant was equipped with air heaters, so I removed my jacket and put it aside. “Have you been
in K City for a few days already?” I asked, looking at him.
He nodded with a half-smile. “I wanted to ask you out a few days ago, but there’s a lot going on in
Fuller Corporation, I thought you might be busy, so I postponed it.”
