When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1459


    Emery burst outughing on the other end of the call.


    “Why are youughing? Did I say something wrong?”


    “No, no.” Emery held herself back and stoppedughing. “You’ve changed so much in six years.


    Whenever I criticized Ashton in the past forcking self-control, you’d always speak up for him and help


    him find excuses.”


    “What? Was Scarlett that blind?” I blurted out. When I realized the mistake I had made, I quickly


    corrected myself, “Was I that dumb?”


    Emery sighed. “I wouldn’t say that. Things were just way tooplicated in the past. But I can be sure


    of one thing. Ashton was an ordinary man with emotions and desires only when he was with you.”


    Iughed upon hearing that. “Is that so rare?”


    No matter how privileged or outstanding Ashton was, he would still be at the mercy of his emotions


    when he was with something he liked. Why did Emery make it sound like Scarlett was blessed to have


    him express his emotions to her?


    All I could think was how submissive this “Scarlett” must have been when she was with Ashton.


    “You’ll know if it’s rare or not once you’ve recovered your memories. But don’t be fooled by one’s


    appearance, especially with someone like Ashton, who doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. It’s going


    to take a lot of time and effort to see him for who he really is. But you know what? It’s been so many


    years, and yet, I still can’t see through this sugar daddy.”


    “Why do you call him a sugar daddy?” I had only skimmed the documents in the study, so I wasn’t


    entirely sure of the rtionship between Emery and Ashton.


    “He invested in my office and The Jade. What else is he, if not my sugar daddy?” she joked with a


    chuckle.


    I was so taken aback by her deration that I didn’t know what else to say.


    Just then, one of Emery’s staff reminded her of an urgent meeting, so she had to cut our conversation


    short.


    She quickly arranged to meet me that afternoon and was about to hang up when she added, “Why are


    you asking these questions anyway? Has Ashton been hounding you again?”


    Emery was so spot on with her deductions that it made me wonder if she should be a psychic instead.


    “Yeah… “ I confessed. “Not only that, he even had me move in with him yesterday, and I promised to


    be his son’s mother.”


    “Have you remembered something? Or rather, has Ashton remembered?” Emery was so excited she


    was almost shouting now.


    Even though I couldn’t see her, I could imagine how thrilled she must be just by the way she sounded.

    “Sorry to disappoint you, but the answer’s no. Neither of us has remembered anything.”


    I do want my memories back, but reality can be so harsh.


    “Fine. I got happy for nothing. Very well then, I’ll be going to my meeting. I’ll see youter.”


    I had only just ended the call when a knock on the door came.


    When I opened the door, Gregory was holding a pile of clothes while dressed in his pajamas. “Ms.


    Stovall, I don’t know how to put these in. Please help me,” he whimpered.


    “You don’t know how to wear them?”


    It would be understandable if it were other children. But Gregory Hall was a child prodigy who could


    hack into programs andmand an entourage. He had that kind of intelligence, yet he couldn’t figure


    out how to wear his clothes?


    “I’m not good at it,” he whined as he looked at me with his little furrowed brows. “I’m going to bete.


    Help me.”


    No woman in her right mind would be able to turn down such a request from an adorable little kid. I was


    no exception.


    “Okay, Greg. I can teach you how to do it, but I’ll only do it once. You’re already six years old. You


    ought to have some basic self-care skills! Can we agree on that?”


    “Yes!” Gregory replied happily with a nod as he pushed his way into my room. He then kicked off his


    shoes and jumped onto the sofa, waving his hands excitedly.


    I couldn’t help but smile. A child’s world was indeed simple. Even a basic task like putting on clothes


    could bring so much joy.


    I only realized howplicated Gregory’s uniform was after I had taken it from him. Just the top alone


    had three pieces to it. There was the shirt, vest, and coat. There was even a red-checkered bowtie for


    the cor. When put together, it looked just like a shrunken-down version of a three-piece suit. Even I


    had almost forgotten to put the vest on him. No wonder Gregory had so much trouble doing it himself.
