When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1519


    At her age, Audrey couldn’t understand her uncle’s joke. Tilting her head, she asked with concern,


    “Uncle John, are you not feeling well? Me too. Just follow me, Uncle John!” She proceeded to


    demonstrate a breathing exercise. “Breathe out all the bad energy and you’ll be as good as new!”


    Due to my previous experience with Summer, I was worried that Audrey hade down with some


    sort of illness. “Are you not feeling well, Audrey? Tell me where it hurts,” I asked anxiously.


    Audrey shook her head first and peered at me innocently. “No. I just don’t like the smell of that man’s


    ce.”


    I immediately realized that she was talking about Nathaniel’s art gallery. Indeed, oil paint gave off an


    unusual smell, but it was already much better after drying up. The paintings had also undergone


    special care and maintenance. Hence, the smell usually wouldn’t affect its viewers. I never expected


    Audrey’s nose to be so sensitive.


    No wonder Ashton brought her outside within a few minutes of exploring the gallery. He probably


    noticed Audrey’s difort.


    My eyes snapped to Ashton, to which he calmly exined, “She’s allergic to oil paint, but she didn’t


    come in direct contact with it, so she’s fine.”


    I was taken aback for a moment, not expecting him to be so attentive when it came to matters


    regarding our child.


    But in the next second, I noticed that something didn’t add up. If Audrey is allergic, then why did he buy


    that painting?


    As if reading my mind, Ashton added, “I would never spend my wife’s money if it wasn’t for a good


    reason. You’ll understand when we get back.”


    Since he put it this way and Audrey was fine, I didn’t inquire further.


    Immediately afterward, Ashton instructed Joseph, “Head to The Jade first. We’ll go back after eating.”


    Audrey absolutely loved food. Thus, she immediately bubbled with excitement. “Yay! I wanna eat lots


    and lots of cakes!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    At the mention of cakes, she turned to look at me with puppy dog eyes. “Mommy, does that mean Greg


    has to eat alone?”


    It was just a meal. It was good for boys to learn to be independent from a young age. Besides, the


    school wasn’t on the way.


    Just as I was about to exin to Audrey, Ashton stated his decision, “Pick Gregory up from school


    first.”


    “Thanks, Daddy! You’re the best! Love you!” Audrey pped her hands with joy.


    After passing an intersection, Joseph replied, “Yes, sir.” Then, he swiftly switched to anotherne and


    drove in the direction of Gregory’s school.


    ncing at Ashton again, I noticed the gentle look on his face that was bordering on fatuous. Needless


    to say, this look was only reserved for his precious daughter.


    Never before had he shown such unconditional indulgence to anyone, not even me.


    Indeed, this was the magical bond of blood ties. A daughter would always be the apple of her father’s


    eye.


    Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but feel slightly despondent.


    John told me before that Summer recovered very well under Jared’s care. Because of her great


    aptitude for mathematics, she was epted into a program for gifted children in a well-known


    university in M Country and Jared had constantly stayed by her side to take care of her.


    Although she was a genius in her own right, she was still a teenager after all. Without the warmth of her


    family, she undoubtedly missed out on many happy moments.


    I had been absent for six years of her life. At present, the crisis was still unresolved. I didn’t know when


    I could finally be a part of her life again. At the thought of this, I struggled to breathe through the pain of


    failing Macy.


    I could only hope that Ashton was right and Jared had truly turned over a new leaf.


    If he was merely bidding his time to exact revenge, she wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of betrayal.


    …


    An hourter, we arrived at The Jade.


    Emery seemed to be expecting us as she was already waiting by the entrance when we got there. As


    soon as Audrey hopped out of the car, Emery walked forward with a wide smile and reached out to hug


    her. “You’re finally here. Come, give me a hug!”


    Audrey frequently spoke to Emery on video calls, so they weren’t strangers to each other. Hence, she


    allowed her aunt to hug her.


    After greeting everyone, she turned around and led us in.


    Getting too carried away often resulted in idents. When we passed through the lobby, a waiter


    happened to be escorting some guests away. Emery was so focused on talking to Audrey that she


    almost ran into them.


    Luckily, Ashton had quick reflexes, stepping forward at lightning speed to block the simrly oblivious


    waiter. Only then did I release a breath of relief.
