When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1397


    The woman took a step closer to us and started speaking to us in Ustranasion. “Mr. Hall has the best of


    the children in mind. They are the family’s heirs. They need special care and upbringing to ensure they


    grow up to be capable members of the family. I’m sure you can understand why…”


    “Speak your nativenguage,” Ashton interjected her impatiently.


    The woman stared at him and continued speaking in Ustranasion. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand what


    you’re…”


    “It seems like you don’t even know your mother tongue. How can someone like you teach my children?


    Get out of my sight, now,” Ashton threatened, not bothering to give her a chance to exin.


    “How dare you!” Before the woman could continue, Joseph had already stepped in between them. He


    cast a severe re at the woman and gestured at her to leave. “This way, please.”


    Upon seeing everyone so adamant about her leaving, the woman stomped out in a fury.


    Once themotion died off, Ashton walked over to the children to check on them. When he was sure


    Gregory and Audrey were alright, his tense face rxed.


    “All of you may leave first.” I felt I had to talk to Ashton alone after some consideration.


    Joseph and the nanny left without any objection, closing the door behind them after they left.


    I went closer and squatted down beside Audrey, toying restlessly with her chubby hands. “Do you think


    it’s worth it, Ashton?” I blurted out anxiously.

    My husband read my face and understood my concern almost immediately. “I’m not losing any one of


    you.”


    I understood what he meant. It would not be aplete family anymore without me. He was willing to


    undertake great risks to keep the family intact.


    “But it’s only the second day, and I’m already gripped by fear. What if something happens? I know the


    Halls will never harm the children, but what if…”


    Armond would do whatever it took to get rid of us. What will happen to the children if something


    happens to us? The Halls are only gonna groom them into cold-hearted beasts.


    As for Nathaniel, he might seem harmless, but God knows what he’s nning in his head.


    I was so lost in all these worrying thoughts that I did not realize Ashton staring at me for some time. He


    circled his arms around me from behind, causing a familiar scent to waft around me and invade my


    senses.


    “It won’t take long. My men are already on the ind. I’ll bring you, the children, and the cure home


    safely. Summer is still waiting for us at home. You need to stay strong,” he whispered in my ears in a


    low voice.


    My hard look softened instantly when I looked at my children.


    Macy left and entrusted her daughter to me. There was no way I could leave Summer behind. Besides,


    how could I let Gregory and Audrey grow up without their mother?


    I held on to Ashton’s hands around my waist and pursed my lips in determination. “I’ll stay strong.”


    I knew there was no turning back since the day I fell in love with Ashton.


    A week went by peacefully after Ashton sent the nanny away.


    His men, who had already located the most possible spot where the antidote was hidden, were already


    nning on how to break in to acquire the cure.


    But Ashton received a text from Armond the next day, asking him for a meet-up at the golf course on


    the ind.


    I obviously would never let him go alone. I started packing my clothes as the hour of their meeting


    approached, getting ready for whatever was toe.


    As usual, Ashton looked calm andposed as he sat on the couch reading some documents.


    I could not wrap my head around how he could remain unflustered under such a circumstance.
