When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1401


    Just then, Millie passed through the crowd and approached me. Leaning towards my ear, she


    whispered, “Ms. Stovall, it’s not safe here. You need to leave with me.”


    After we arrived at the ind, Millie hade here with Ashton’s men and had been protecting me


    from the shadows. During this time, she had been finding out the situation on the ind. As she was a


    mature and staid person, she was not easily flustered, but it was obvious from the tone of her voice that


    she was feeling a little panicky.


    When I looked up and saw the somber expression on her face, I knew my suspicions had been


    confirmed.


    “What’s going on?” I asked softly.


    Millie frowned and replied, “While you were here, I spent the entire afternoon inspecting the nearby


    area. Armond brought a lot more men with him here. His subordinates are stationed all over the ind.


    I followed a few of them secretly and found out that they were carrying explosives!”


    When she said thest word, I could hear the tremor in her voice.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Just then, Joseph, who was beside Nora, took out his phone and took a nce at it. It seemed like he


    was also aware of the situation and pulled Nora and her baby towards us. After making sure that other


    bodyguards were protecting us, he walked towards Ashton and whispered into the man’s ear calmly.


    Ashton did not react to what Joseph told him. It seemed as if it was all within his expectation, just like


    Sally’s appearance. Meanwhile, Armond had also noticed the interactions on our side and seemed to


    have guessed what was going on. With a dryugh, he tossed his gun onto the ground and slumped


    down on the chair.


    “We can all die together then. It’ll be nice to havepany on the way to theherworld. Hahaha… “


    Upon hearing the man’s hystericalughter, I took a deep breath instinctively.


    It didn’t matter if we died. However, the kids were on the ind too. We had gone through so much to


    find them. It didn’t make sense to put their lives in peril again.


    Just then, Ashton instructed Joseph indifferently, “Joseph, take my wife to the kids and ensure that they


    stay together.”


    “Understood!” Joseph nodded respectfully and quickly requested that I leave with him. “Mrs. Fuller,


    pleasee with me.”


    I could not figure out what Ashton had in mind and was at a loss. I looked at him and knew that there


    was no way I would leave him here all by himself.


    Ashton understood me well; he knew I wouldn’t leave willingly. He turned to look at me, and with a faint


    smile on his face, he said, “The kids have not even reached a year old yet.” He was right, and that was


    something I couldn’t refute.


    I was stunned. Ashton had surprised me with his decisiveness even during a life and death situation


    like that. He did not hesitate to use the kids as a reason to force me topromise, giving me the will


    to live on.


    I looked at his smiling eyes and clenched my fists tightly, digging my nails into my palms. With gritted


    teeth, I put on a brave front and replied, “Don’t worry about us.”


    With that said, I stood up, about to follow Joseph to go to the kids.


    However, right after I turned around, Armond, who did not seem to be pleased with our decision,


    shouted, “Stop right there!”


    After a pause, he continued, “Scarlett, do you really think your family calls the shots here? Is this a


    ce you can juste and go as you please?”


    I stopped in my tracks but did not reply.


    Just then, Ashton growled in a low voice, “This is the contract you wanted. Let’s strike a deal. If you


    allow Scarlett to reunite with the kids, I’ll give it to you. Otherwise, I’ll tear this into pieces in front of your


    eyes right now.”


    Armond had been forever yearning to make aeback with the petroleum production contract, so he


    would definitely not pass on the opportunity presented to him. It only took him a moment to think before


    replying, “Fine. I’ll grant yourst wish then. Scarlett, you can leave now. Savor thesest moments


    with your children. There won’t be any more chances for you to do so in the future! Hahaha… “


    The man’sughter was extremely unpleasant to my ears, and I subconsciously clenched my fists


    again. However, I managed to force myself to rx and exited the golf course calmly.


    As I left, I could hear Armond barking out orders behind me, asking for the contract, “I’ve already done


    as you wish. You can hand over the contract now… “


    nked by Millie and Joseph, I hurried back to the Hall residence.


    Nics had been able to survive on the ind for such a long time, so it was possible for him to have


    measures in ce to deal with emergencies. But even if that was the case, having ample time to


    implement the measures was still crucial.


    However, it was apparent that Armond had nned for everyone to perish together with him as ast


    resort. As such, it was likely that no one would be able to leave the golf course alive. If Ashton could


    not escape in time, he would surely be blown into pieces.
