When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1614
“Have you forgotten that you have a son? He’s just as important, you know? If you don’t invest more
time and effort on the boy, who’s going to take over yourpany in the future?” inquired John half-
jokingly.
I seriously thought that John was trying to sow discord between Ashton and Audrey. After all, John
wanted nothing more than to reim his ce as the most important man to his niece. It doesn’t matter
if it’s men or women. Both will do everything in their power to gain the upper hand when jealous.
“How I deal with my children is none of your business. For someone who has no daughters, you sure
like to tell people how to raise theirs,” retorted Ashton straightforwardly.
Banters like that had been happening in the house several times a week over the past few years.
Sometimes, it made me wonder if it was even possible to have the two men get along with each other.
Seeing how John was boiling with rage after Ashton’s goading, I decided it was best that I kept quiet
and let the two duke it out.
It was not until the birth of John’s daughter that the tension between them eased up a little.
More importantly, as parents of three, Ashton and I realized that there were far more things that we had
to put into consideration.
After the Wenville project, Ashton had to fulfill his promise to support Summer’s project in opening a
bar. Neither the Moores nor the Stovalls dared to involve themselves in the industry, for they were
afraid of the steep price they had to pay if they were to ce their fingers in that pie.
After some thought, I suggested to Ashton, “Let’s have Josephe over. I want to hear the
information he’s gathered regarding the industry. After all, Summer is still underage, so I’d like to help
her however I can.”
“Sure, tonight then. I’ve just ordered the man to work on controlling the public opinion. Summer should
also be done with the cultural festival by then, so I’ll have here over too,” informed Ashton.
“Okay, good.” If we could manage to be frank and always speak our minds like that, everything would
be so much easier to deal with.
As soon as our conversation ended, a maid entered the house to inform, “Ms. Fuller, there’s a woman
here to see you.”
“A woman? Who?” The maids knew the name of most of our guests, so naturally, I was puzzled when
one of them simply addressed the visitor as a woman.
“She said that she’s Marcus’ wife,” answered the maid.
Oh, it’s Camelia! We haven’t had the chance to meet up yet since she got back.
“Let her in.”
“Yes, Madam.”
As ordered, the maid immediately went back to the guest but returned to me after just a brief moment.
“Madam, the woman refused toe in and insisted that you go meet her in person.”
I was puzzled yet again when I was told that Camelia refused toe in.
“Is she alone?” I inquired as I stood up and made my way to the door.

“Yes, she is.” The maid nodded before cautiously reminding, “She doesn’t look well, though. It looks
like she’s sick or something, so you should be careful, Madam.”
“Got it. I’ll take it from here.”
I could not help but pity Camelia when even the maid seemed to despise her. The fact that she used to
be a kind and gentle person only made me pity her even more.
Camelia was not a bad person, so I did not think that she would intentionally harm anyone or purposely
infect others with her sickness.
Knowing that Marcus had to be why she visited me, I had no reason to avoid her.
After ncing at Ashton and realizing that he had no intention of stopping me, I decided with
confidence to go meet Camelia. “I’ll go see what she needs. Be right back.”
Without a word, Ashton just nodded in response.
Before I reached the door, I could hear Holden’s voice. “Mr. Fuller, we have been friends for a long time
now, haven’t we? You should know better than anyone else how trustworthy I am in this sort of thing,
right? Don’t worry. Your daughter is in good hands. If you want to open a bar, working with us is
probably the best decision you can make.”
