When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 876


    I wasn’t really sure what to do. Since I had to stay in Moranta for the next few days, I couldn’t very well


    go all the way back and send her to the hospital. “Mom, can you ask one of the maids to take Summer


    to the hospital? She may just be going through a bad case of seasonal flu. Maybe she’ll get better after


    a while,” I told Cameron.


    “Alright. I’ll arrange for someone to take her to the hospital tomorrow. Your dad and I have been so


    busy nowadays we can barely catch our breath. Come back after finishing your business at Moranta,


    okay? Don’t go to A City anymore. Come back to K City and learn how to manage thepanies. Your


    dad and I are getting old, so you and Emery will be taking over soon. Since you’re both so young, it’ll


    be much easier for you two to take the reins. I’m sure thepanies will do much better with you two


    in charge.”


    It surprised me to hear that they were nning to pass both the Moore Corporation and the Anderson


    Corporation over to me. Almost instinctively, I replied, “Mom, you know I don’t like all that business


    stuff. Nick and Emery are both skilled enough to take over. I still have stuff I want to do in the future.


    You can slowly give up thepany bit by bit, but there’s no rush.”


    Luckily, Cameron seemed to respect my decision. She sighed and replied, “You know, you will have to


    take over sooner orter. You’re from the Moore family, after all. There are some things you can’t just


    push to others.”


    I knew she was just reminding me out of kindness. Hence, I replied with a short hum, reluctant to say


    much more.


    However, my mood got much worse after the phone call. I had never even thought of those things. In


    the midst of all this new information, I couldn’t help but feel slightly rattled. I turned around to see


    Ashton still reading.


    I felt like I had to coddle him a bit. After all, I had run out by myself and got my phone broken by


    Holden. I even got back prettyte, so it was inevitable that he would worry.

    Because of what Cameron said, however, I was already in a rather unhappy mood. I decided to just


    crawl into bed. Maybe it was because I was worried, or maybe it was because I was already tired from


    walking around all day, but I fell asleep rather quickly.


    After some time, I woke up to some loud noises. I soon realized that Ashton was making those noises


    on purpose. He was practically mming his books down and even made a racket when he was filling


    a ss of water. His typing was usually pretty quiet, but today he was stabbing each key as if he had a


    personal vendetta against his keyboard.


    I wasn’t nning on saying anything at first since I knew he was doing it on purpose. Sometimes, men


    could really be more immature than I could imagine. He was just trying his best to get my attention.


    How could I have not realized? At the sight of my indifference, he somehow dug out a calctor and


    started repeatedly pressing one of the buttons. The mechanical beeps kepting as he continued


    pressing.


    I finally sat up and looked at him. “Ashton, can you stop being so childish?” He was almost forty, so I


    couldn’t believe that he was still so immature.


    He red at me. “How am I being childish?”


    I nearly choked on my spit. “So you think you’re being an adult right now?” In order to wake me up, he


    had already banged, beeped, and tapped everything that could make a noise in the hotel room.


    He looked at me and suddenly lowered his head, chuckling so hard his shoulders started to shake.


    Ever since I’d met him, we never showed our weaker or childish side to each other. Despite having


    been married for many years, I sometimes felt as though we’d just started dating. We had been all


    caught up in misunderstandings and jealousy until now when we could finally start interacting more


    comfortably.


    I watched him as he finally stoppedughing. “What did you go out alone for?” he asked me.


    I thought about it for a while before answering, “I’ve never been to Moranta, so I thought it would be fun


    to take a quick walk. I was getting bored staying in the hotel room after all. I didn’t know I would get into


    trouble, much less bump into Holden.”


    He leaned next to me and sighed, looking a little pitiful. “Next time, please let me know your


    whereabouts no matter what. Worrying so much about someone hurts more than you’d think.”


    I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him and nodded. “I’ll always let you know where I am from now


    on, okay?”


    A rtionship always ended up boiling down to two people missing each other all the time. The


    simplest definition of love was probably having someone apart from your parents love and care for you.


    I suddenly felt his hand on me and looked at him with wide eyes. “Ashton, what are you doing?”


    He had already pushed my nightdress up to my thigh. With a gentle gaze, he asked, “Aren’t you going


    to pay me back for what I’ve gone through?”
