When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1748
Chapter 1748 I Will Follow Him To Purgatory
By putting myself out there, I could force Ashton into revealing his true intentions.
I didn’t want to be in his way, but I couldn’t tolerate the world turning its back on him either. Hence, I
had no choice but to elicit a response this way.
In the midst of the long silence, Joseph had lost consciousness due to the overwhelming effects of the
drug. As the cold breeze filtered through the building, tension started to build up in the surrounding
atmosphere.
Nathaniel’s gaze was constantly trained on me, like an eagle eyeing a rabbit.
Just like Ashton, he was good at seeing through people. I reckoned he was hoping to read something
from my facial expressions. Luckily, I had picked up a thing or two from John’s nonchnt attitude as
Nathaniel drew a nk in his search.
Just as expected, he averted his gaze in defeat after a two-minute staring contest. Closing his eyes, he
lost himself in his own thoughts.
As the seconds ticked by, Joseph’s chances of survival grew increasingly slim.
Sneaking a nce at him from the corner of my eye, I clenched my fists and decided to negotiate the
terms under false pretenses.
“Hey,” I called out to Nathaniel as if I was the wife of a mafia boss. Then I went straight to the point as I
continued, “Don’t think that I will work for you for nothing in return. If you want to leverage the
resources of the Fullers and Stovall Corporation to expand your business, you have to agree to my two
conditions.”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“There’s no ce for you to interfere in men’s affairs.” Ashton tried to stop me. His expression was as
icy as ever.
I tilted my head and looked at him with a mischievous smile. “What else can I do? I wish to stay by your
side forever. In fact, both my body and soul desire it. Didn’t you feel it from the kiss just now?”
I winked at Ashton in front of Nathaniel as I spoke.
“Your career is at home. Raising kids is what you should be doing.” Ashton’s frown deepened. In fact,
the look of disgust on his face couldn’t be any more obvious.
However, I shrugged to express my defiance.
“Are you two putting up an act in front of me?” Nathaniel finally responded. He was emitting such a
frosty aura that one could feel a chill down the spine just by looking at him.
He felt that Ashton and I were colluding with each other.
If one’s betrayal was for the greater good, it was a choice worth considering. After all, Nathaniel was
someone extremely guarded.
Taking a deep breath, I cast my emotions aside and stared earnestly at him. “What about it? What will
satisfy you, then? Let me remind you that I am the one who’s being monitored, not you. Where do I find
the opportunity to conspire with Ashton? Or perhaps you want to hear me lie to you that I no longer
love Ashton? Fine, if that’s what you want, I’ll say it out loud. I am utterly disappointed and have lost
faith in him. From now on, we will not have anything to do with each other… Are you happy now?”
Nathaniel’s eyes shed with disdain, as he knew those words were nothing but falsehoods.
Nevertheless, he was hoping that those lies would be the truth so that no one would love or dare
to love Ashton anymore, just like him.
Gaining momentum from his vtile emotions, I continued my performance with a smirk.
“Look, even you don’t buy it. Love isn’t something that one can control. Yes, I admit Ashton’s recent
actions are despicable. Just as you wanted, I’m disappointed in him. Still, you didn’t take into
consideration the bond we have built over the years.
“His name no longer belongs to him alone. Instead, it has been seared into every fiber of my body. I
have grown to love and trust him so much that I will stand by his side even in the face of Armageddon!
“If you have loved someone, you will understand how powerless it feels when one is being swept away
by one’s emotions. I have gone through too many separations in my life, so there’s no way I’m going to
let go of Ashton. Even if it means going to Purgatory, I will dly follow him there.”
