When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1134
“I see.” Emery did not much care to know and quickly moved on. “I’ve been thinkingtely that perhaps
I should purchase the vi next to my ce and gift it to Hunter’s parents. What do you think?”
I goaded her in good humor. “Is the five-hundred square-foot home of yours not spacious enough for
the five of you?”
We arrived at the living room as we chatted. I saw that Ste was standing by the door, not quite sure
what to do with herself. “You don’t have keep staying with me. Since we’re at home, do make yourself
comfortable. If you’re bored, you could take a look around and familiarize yourself with the
environment.”
The corner of Ste’s lips perked up gratefully before she went through the nearest side door and
toward the garden.
Emery paused and cast her eyes inquisitively in the direction of the woman’s footsteps. “Ashton’s such
a pervert. He couldn’t resist the advances of his assistant, so he sends her here to let you clean up
after him?”

Iughed when I recalled how Ashton thought I might have fancied Ste, and collected myself before I
waved her off. “You’re overthinking this.”
“It’s you who’s not thinking hard enough about it.” Emery sounded somewhat perturbed. “Ashton might
be considered the reliable sort, but I bet that there are plenty of girls who would be drawn to that
handsome face of his. You won’t always be young, so it’s imperative that you be more attentive.”
Nheless, I took this in my stride. She looked sideways at me, quite exasperated before the
admission material on the table caught her eye. She picked it up and casually flipped through it. “Are
you preparing for another admissions test? Why are you wasting your time on this?”
“How could this be considered a waste of time?” I replied with a smile. “After all, I’m a shareholder at
Fuller Corporation. It seems a little embarrassing to show others my current academic credentials.
Besides, I intend to try for the bar examination afterward. With Ashton forbidding me from any
involvement with thepany, surely I have to find something else to do.”
She ced down the book. “Then, why don’t you go straight for the bar examination?”
“Can I do that?” That was something that did not ur to me before. “Why not?” Emery said candidly.
“Even if you managed to get yourself into graduate school, whatever you learn from books would have
little practical use. I’d say you might as well go straight for the bar examination. With a few years of
experience under your belt and connections through the Moore family and Fuller Corporation, you’d be
starting your own practice in no time.”
I was not that fixated on whether I would be able to start my own thing, but Emery’s analysis did align
with my own interests.
Going for the admission test was something that I always wanted to do. Perhaps it had been an
oversight on my part that I could pass it up and go straight for the bar examination.
Whyplicate matters when it would all lead to the same oue?
After careful deliberation, Emery and myself signed up for the closest avable date for the bar
examination online right there and then.
Once this was done, Emery stretched herself and started looking around for Summer. “Where’s
Summer? I haven’t seen her since I’ve been here.”
“She might be ying in the rear house with Mrs. Eriksen.” Summer could withstand the cold fairly well
for someone of her age, and would engage in snowball fights ever so often. With the snow in K City yet
to start melting, she must have dragged Mrs. Eriksen off to build snowmen again.
With that, Emery and myself linked arms and made our way to the rear house.
We barely stepped onto the gravel path when Summer’sughter filled the air. That did much to uplift
my mood.
When I got closer, I saw that her petite hands were reddened from the cold. There was still a half-
formed snowball inside her grasp which she threw across the way.
