When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1374
Not long after we ended the call, Emery sent me a text message: The media back in the country found
you and Ashton are staying in the same hotel. Just be careful of Thora.
Isn’t it ridiculous for a couple, who has been married for years, to be the talk of the town when
they stay in the same hotel?
I replied immediately: Got it. Thanks for the heads up. You be careful too. Emery was our close friend,
and I was worried for her safety as well.
The woman replied casually: Nah, I’ll be fine. I’m not alone anyway. I chuckled at that message. She
must have had the time of her life yesterday.
I teased: Wow. Looks like you had a lot of fun with a special someonest night. Alexander had done
all he could to get her attention. Who could resist a man like him?
Emery expressed her dismay in her next message to me, texting: Stop right there, woman. It has
nothing to do with him, alright? You know what? I don’t have to exin myself to you. I’m gonna go
have more fun now. Ciao!
I closed the app after reading her message and shook my head with a grin. Sadly, that short burst of
happiness disappeared the moment I thought of Ashton. My expression turned grim once again.
How I wish Ashton gets the love he deserves just as much as everyone else
Unfortunately, there’s nothing he can do to change his fate. The least I can do now is to keep him
company and show him that he isn’t alone.
We touched down at J City in the evening on the next day and immediately paid Charlie a visit.
Ashton’s uncle was busy sprucing up his garden when we arrived.
Ashton walked up and greeted him with a nk face.
At the sound of his voice, Charlie turned around and looked at us. He froze for a moment before
asking, “Hey. Since when did you twoe back?”
Somehow, I felt there was something amiss with his dyed response.
Charlie was the only Fuller who knew Christopher well. He must have some inside stories about
Ashton’s father that he could share with us.
Throughout the years, Charlie had raised Ashton well. Though Helen often gave them a hard time, the
two men still maintained a close rtionship. Since Charlie raised him like his own, Ashton did not
believe his uncle would lie about his father’s death.
There was no reason for Charlie to lie to Ashton.
Charlie might not know the entire truth, but that did not mean the man was entirely innocent. He had
watched Ashton suffered for thest two decades, yet he chose not to tell him anything about
Christopher. Does this mean he’s not at fault? I don’t think so.
Christopher had been in hiding for decades. He could have stayed away from Ashton and carried the
secret to the grave, yet he chose to appear before his son. There was a high chance Christopher must
have been in contact with the Fullers.
Ashton stared at his uncle and asked in an intimidating voice, “Do you really not know why we’re
back?”
Ever since the passing of Christopher and his wife, Ashton had lived with George and Charlie. Growing
up, Ashton had always been emotionally unavable. Charlie knew one day, this young man would
be even more impassive. He had finally witnessed that today.
Charlie looked at Ashton and froze. He lowered his head to avoid his re. “Watch your manners,
Ashton,” he said, “How do you expect to know everything about you? You must be tired. Go and take a
rest in the guest room. We clean it every day, hoping that you’lle and visit.”

He seemed a little absentminded as he spoke, even going as far as identally pruning some
branches off a well-shaped shrub. However, the man soon snapped out of it, turning around and
ordering the maid, “Carry their stuff into the house.”
The maid came up and carried our luggage. “Pleasee with me, Mr. and Mrs. Fuller.”
Unlike Ashton, Charlie was not great at hiding his emotions. Based on his reaction, I believed
Christopher must have approached him before.
We decided toe unannounced in thete evening because we did not want Charlie to avoid us.
Now that we were face to face with him, we hoped he could tell us the truth.
