When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1124


    I pondered over it for a while. Since I only had to meet Professor Zidd in the morning and would be free


    afterward, I epted her invitation: Yes, but I’m only free in the evening. Are you okay with it?


    Rose replied: Sure, evening it is! I’lle to your house tomorrow. Well, I should stop bothering you


    since it’s gettingte. Good night.


    Upon seeing the moon emoji at the end of the message, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite their years of


    marriage, Nick seemed to have protected Rose well. It was apparent from her cheerful words that she


    was still young at heart.

    Meanwhile, Ashton had finished taking his shower and came out of the bathroom. When he saw me


    smiling, he half-kneeled beside the bed and inched closer to me. “What’s so funny?”


    Ashton smelled good after stepping out of the shower. Putting my phone aside, I wrapped my arms


    around his neck to take a whiff of his scent. After a while, I replied delightedly, “Rose added me as a


    friend on Instagram and asked me to go shopping tomorrow. I agreed to it.”


    “Rose?” Ashton was startled for a moment before he continued, “Is she Nick’s wife?”


    “Yes!” I nodded and continued, “We met her in the hospital two days ago. Have you forgotten about it?”


    Since Ashton was upied recently, I wouldn’t me him if he didn’t have any impression of her.


    “I remember.” Ashton grabbed my hand and sat on the bed. Then, he took me into his arms and asked


    with a pensive expression, “Are you two close to each other?”


    “Not really.” I remembered that I met Rose less than five times, so we were only considered


    acquaintances. “Anyway, she’s Nick’s wife. Besides, it’s the festive season now, and I don’t have the


    heart to reject her.”


    Ashton tilted his head and stroked my nose gently. “You should stop saying yes to others all the time.


    Why must you force yourself to do something that you don’t like to please them?”


    “I’m not forcing myself.” Although I was easygoing, I wouldn’t make concessions to the extent that I had


    to abandon my principles. Hence, I rebutted defiantly, “I only agreed to it because we’re considered


    rtives. Don’t worry. I definitely won’t go out with strangers. After all, I have learned my lesson from


    Summer’s incident.” However, Ashton merely nodded and put on a slightly disdainful smile. It was


    apparent that he didn’t believe my words.


    Dissatisfied with his response, I decided to be more assertive. I squinted and said wryly, “Hmph… Mr.


    Fuller, are you trying to stop me from leaving the house like I’m your pet canary?”


    I knew that I probably thought too highly of myself, for I was not as young or as gorgeous as the chicks


    out there. Nheless, I didn’t think a woman who was pregnant or preparing for pregnancy had to


    stop socializing.


    Due to the misconception, manypanies nowadays still included unfair uses in their contracts,


    stating that a woman, who was pregnant within five years of working with them, had to resign


    automatically.


    Moreover, I had handed over my tasks to others at Fuller Corporation a year ago and became an idler


    since then. Hence, I might even be toozy to take care of Summer if I was barred from


    socializing. In that case, I would be no different from pigs in a pigpen.


    A glint shed across Ashton’s eyes as I finished speaking. Suddenly, he tilted his head and scanned


    my face. A few secondster, he put on a wry smile and replied, “It’s a good idea…”


    Upon knowing that he really had such thoughts, I was rendered speechless.


    Feeling embarrassed and angry at the same time, I grabbed the pillow below my head and threw it at


    him. “Don’t ever think about it!”
