When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1671


    Chapter 1671 Off To Q City


    “Oh, wait. Does that mean…” I trailed off, realization dawning on me.


    Despite everything she said, she still couldn’t bring herself to cut connections with Alexander!


    All this time, Emery had been secretly watching as he fought to win her love back. His messages were


    read but ignored, and his phone calls that came through were deliberately missed. Although she had


    betrayed none of her emotions, she had been struggling to hold herself back from epting him as


    well. That was until she finally caved.


    Before this, I always thought Emery showed impressive rationality when it came to rtionships and


    was capable of weighing her advantages and disadvantages in each rtionship urately, whether it


    was in the case of Hunter or Alexander. Even if she might not step back from thempletely, she


    would always keep herself in the most invulnerable position possible.


    However, this rationality obviously did not apply to a rtionship with a man like Alexander. Judging


    from her behavior, it was evident that he had turned into an irregr variable in her life.


    I leaned against Ashton’s chest, patting him lightly. “How is it that you know so much about Emery?


    Have you sent someone to spy on her on something?”


    “Of course not.” He reached out to hold my hand. “Alexander’s current status could be considered top


    in the industry right now. There are eyes on him at all times. I hardly need a spy to know what he’s


    been up to. However, I won’t deny I’ve indeed taken action a few times to help those two suppress


    news about themselves.”


    His words clearly implied that the news was sexual in nature. Eyes widening, I giggled as I yfully


    probed him to reveal more. “News? What sort of news?”


    Suddenly, he turned over andy pressing down on me. By the time I caught on, he already had my


    arms locked above my head in a death grip. “Since you’re so interested in the details, why don’t I let


    you experience them for yourself?”


    With that, his other hand slithered beneath the hem of my lingerie and traveled upward, asserting its


    presence on my body.


    Realizing that he was serious about it, I immediately pleaded, “I’m sorry, Hubby! It was a mistake. I


    promise I won’t ask about it again. Please, let me go!”


    Lowering his head toward mine, he rubbed his nose against mine fondly. “How dare you reject me after


    epting my gift?”


    “Huh?” I froze, utterly stunned. “Y-You mean the s-soup you prepared for me earlier? So this is where


    you were going with it?”


    I should have known he couldn’t possibly have done that without any ulterior motives!


    “Of course,” he answered softly. “Now that you’ve drunk it all, don’t you think you need to do something


    to burn off all that extra energy?”


    I merely stared back at him, fully regretting ever drinking that sk of soup.


    Nevertheless, I was simply not in the mood to satisfy his wishes that night.


    “Ashton,” I went on with a pitiful expression, “I was busy in the office all day, sorting out work matters


    with Summer, and I even went shopping after work. I’m thoroughly exhausted today. Why don’t we do


    this… another time?”


    I gulped nervously, having absolutely no confidence that my attempt was at all sufficient in convincing


    the hungry beast before my eyes to back down.


    However, Ashton was surprisinglypliant. He slipped off my body andy back down beside me


    without another word.


    Before I could say anything, he spoke upnguidly. “Well, there’s no such thing as secrets in this world,


    especially not when ites to a famous person like Alexander. Sooner orter, the news will reach


    the Zimmermans, and that’s when all hell will break loose.”


    I said nothing in response, thinking that the Zimmermans might be a powerful family, but Emery was


    not one who would easily back down in the face of abuse and insult either. It was far too early to tell


    who among them was on the losing side just yet.


    Thus, I merelyy leaning on him in silence and eventually drifted off to sleep.


    Due to the close connection between Luscious Wines and Skull, Summer decided to tackle the root of


    the problem and proposed to procure thergest winepany in Q City.


    Once the project kicked off, Fuller Corporation would be the only supplier of wines in the club. Not only


    would that be effective in avoiding the risk of selling fake wine, but it would also prevent any suspicious


    parties from tampering with the stock.


    After Emery’s information confirmed that Lexis had had a private deal with Quince and Lucas, Summer


    and I set out for Q City to propose our acquisition formally.


    Uponnding at the airport, we headed straight for the Koandrian restaurant where we would meet up


    with the manager of the winepany.


    However, pushing open the door to the private room, we were suddenly reluctant to step in.

    Besides the manager, there was another man in the room who was sitting with his back toward us. His


    short and thin build, as well as his coal-ck skin, were such distinctive features that it was difficult and


    inexcusable for us to not recognize him.
