When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1265
Hunter and Emery seemed like the picture-perfect couple, much to the envy of others around them.
However, the more Hunter smiled, the more I found it fake and off-putting. I finally understood why
Emma decided against attending the ceremony. After having known the truth about Hunter, there was
no way she would have been able to feign ignorance in front of him.
Meanwhile, Hunter was being the perfect gentleman. Ever so charismatic and impably dressed,
even the female reporters couldn’t help but steal nces at him.
“Alright, since everyone’s here, we can begin the ribbon-cutting ceremony! Let’s… “
“Wait!” Emery interrupted before the emcee could go on. “We’re still waiting for someone.”
The words had only just left her mouth when she spotted a familiar face in the crowd and waved
eagerly at him.
Everyone followed her gaze till their eyesnded on Ashton, who was looking as cool as a cucumber.
He swiftly made his way toward them and stood beside Hunter. The ribbon-cutting ceremony went on
as scheduled to roaring apuse.
While the reporters were busy taking photos, Emery gently elbowed me to get my attention. “So, what
about it?” she whispered, a polite smile still stered on her face.
“What about what?” I replied in confusion.
“I’m talking about Ashton.” Emery sighed as she rolled her eyes. “You should take this chance to talk to
him. You’ve gotten your kid back, so why not just restore your marriage?”
Oh, so that’s what she’s trying to get at.
I had almost forgotten that other than the Stovall family, no one else knew that Ashton and I had faked
our divorce. Still, it warmed my heart to see Emery being so concerned about me, even on such an
important day.
A sudden wave of guilt washed over me. I knew that sooner orter, I would have to find an opportunity
to tell her the truth.
I was still mulling over it when the ceremony ended. Emery left to entertain the reporters as she
showed them around the office. As a member of the Moore family and a prominent figure in the
business world, it was doubly important that her business got good coverage to increase her brand
exposure.
As the guests and reporters gradually made their way into the office, a woman emerged from the crowd
and gracefully made her way toward Emery and Hunter.

I held my breath as soon as I recognized her. She was the woman whom I had seen with Hunter the
other day. Who exactly is she?
“Hello, Mrs. Zane, I’m Delh. I’m here on behalf of our Economic Society to congratte Professor
Zane and yourself.” There was a charming lilt to her voice as she handed a gift to Emery.
Unbeknownst to others, I could see the deviousness behind that fake, innocent smile of Delh’s. I had
seen the same expression far too often on Reba, and the memories that flooded back only irked me
even more.
I had a sudden urge to step in and protect Emery from this vile woman, but before I could make any
move, a hand shot out from behind to stop me. When I turned around and came face to face with
Ashton, he shook his head lightly to remind me not to do anything rash.
Even though I wasn’t sure what his intentions were, I nodded back to indicate my understanding.
Ashton seemed a lot more relieved after that and stepped away.
Emery epted the gift from Delh happily before handing it to Hunter. “Thank you, Delh. Please,
doe in.”
It was then when I saw the crack in Hunter’s calm demeanor. Panic and embarrassment were written
all over his face as if he had been found guilty of something. He frowned and stood quietly between the
two women.
Delh was a smart woman who knew better than to air dirtyundry in public. She still had on a
megawatt smile as she epted Emery’s invitation and followed the crowd into the office. Owing to the
power and status of the Moore family, many reporters had shown up at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The crowd was sorge that I could only stay with Emery most of the time.
Unfortunately, that also meant I had to be with Hunter.
Even though Hunter and I were distracted, Emery remained friendly and professional the entire time.
Whether it was reporters or friends, she entertained them all with a natural ir and charisma.
Her being oblivious to the ugly truth about Hunter made me feel even worse. I hated to see her being
kept in the dark and betrayed by the person she loved so dearly. But I was also worried that she
wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.
When the ceremony finally came to an end, Emery made her way downstairs to see her guests off,
leaving Hunter and me behind at the reception area.
