When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1609


    Of course! No one could possiblypare to his little princess!


    As I knew Ashton would never agree otherwise, I simply ignored him and turned around to carry on


    walking.


    I had barely taken a step forward when Ashton yanked me back toward him to check me for injuries a


    second time.


    After taking a moment to confirm that I could stand just fine, he held one of my hands and interlocked


    our fingers as he said, “I just told you to hold my hand tightly when in crowded ces, remember?”


    I knew he was simply trying to find an excuse to hold my hand, but I didn’t have any evidence to


    support my argument. As such, I had no choice but to walk hand in hand with him.


    However, we didn’t get very far before I felt something tugging at my right sleeve.

    I turned around and noticed the little girl from before staring at me with puppy-dog eyes.


    “What is it, kiddo?” I asked.


    “Rock candy,” she replied. Although she didn’t say anything about wanting more, it was obvious from


    the sight of her licking her lips.


    Did she finish it already? But it hasn’t even been two minutes! ”Didn’t I give you one just now? Did you


    drop it or something?” I eximed in shock.


    She shook her head and pointed at the street behind her as she replied, “It was my sister that you gave


    it to.”


    I shifted my gaze toward the direction she was pointing at and saw another girl who looked just like her.


    She was standing next to a food vendor and waving a stick of rock candy happily. It was an adorable


    sight to behold, but I felt a spine-chilling sensation spreading throughout my body instead. I then


    subconsciously handed the little girl my rock candy and only snapped out of it after she left.


    Ashton and I continued strolling through the night market, but I couldn’t seem to concentrate as my


    mind was all over the ce.


    It is indeed difficult to tell twopletely identical people apart. What if I had an identical twin? Would


    the people around me be able to tell us apart?


    I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even notice Ashton falling behind. It wasn’t until I had gotten really


    far that I noticed he wasn’t next to me and quickly turned around.


    There were tons of tourists on the busy street behind us, but Ashton’s height allowed him to stand out


    in the crowd even though he was dressed rather inly.


    Even so, we were soon separated by a huge crowd crossing the street between us.


    “The ny-nine couples are about to make their marriage vows on stage! Head over now if you are


    interested in witnessing the event!”


    As everyone was running toward their destinations in a hurry, I had to stand on my tiptoes just to see


    where I was going.


    I used to think nothing of crowded ces whenever I saw clips of them on television. I always thought it


    was just people being a little closer to each other, only to realize how hard they were bumping into each


    other when moving. A tiny and frail woman like myself could easily get lost and stuck in the crowd.


    “Ashton!” I called out to him desperately as I felt my legs go weak from anxiety.


    Despite insisting on us sticking together a while ago, he had disappearedpletely from sight within


    seconds when the crowd began rushing about.


    The next thing I knew, an arm had wrapped itself firmly around my waist.


    I turned around immediately and saw Ashton leaning in close as he tightened his grip on me.


    His sudden appearance caught mepletely off guard, and I found myself frozen in shock for a


    couple of seconds.


    “I’ll recognize you.” He then took a moment to catch his breath before continuing, “No matter where we


    are, no matter how many Scarletts are out there, I’ll always be able to recognize you instantly. Won’t


    you have a little more faith in your husband?”


    I knew he had a strong understanding of human behavior, but I didn’t think he would notice such a


    subtle change in my facial expressions.


    Regardless, my feelings of unease had nothing to do with him as they stemmed from my fear of the


    unknown. Unsure of what to say, I simply pursed my lips and kept quiet.


    Ashton broke into a wry smile and gave me aforting hug before holding my hand as he led me


    through the crowd. “For now, let’s go watch the couples make their vows. I’ll take you somewhere


    specialter.”
