When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1784


    Chapter 1784 Iing Death


    “Nathaniel’s anxious about you. You’ll be fine.” Ashton lowered his eyes and avoided my gaze.


    A fresh swell of hot tears brimmed in my eyes, and Iughed bitterly. “That’s right. He’s about to fall in


    love with me. A man as smart as you is slowly creeping into my life. What do you feel about that?”


    “If I were you, I’d be happy. At the very least, this shows that you’re currently safe.” Ashton’s tone was


    still as t as ever, so I could not decipher what he was feeling at that moment.


    Perhaps what he wanted to say was that all was fine as long as I was safe, but I was greedy—I wanted


    to hear something else other than that. “But you’re not me. Otherwise, you’d know that the words I want


    to hear aren’t these.”


    Ashton then nced, almost unnoticeably, in the direction of the doorway. Despite how cautious he


    was, I noticed his action and informed him, “Millie’s guarding the room outside. No one’s going toe


    in. We’ll be alone here.”


    I was telling him that we were in a safe spot, so he did not need to worry about Nathaniel’s sudden


    appearance or him abruptly realizing something amiss.


    However, Ashton was determined to y safe. “If I can say things that nice to your ears, we wouldn’t


    be divorcing each other and fighting over the assets,” he said, cold and ruthless.

    Once that was said, he hurried to the door. However, right as he was by the doorway, he skidded to a


    stop.


    “Time can change everything, and it can ruin everything.”


    Then, without sparing me another nce, he left the break room.


    Although the heater in the break room was working, I found myself shaking from the cold, and I could


    not help but wrap my arms around myself.


    Time can change everything. Does he mean it literally, or is he hinting me at something else?


    I stayed in the break room for a long time, thinking about what Ashton had saidst. Yet, no matter how


    much I mulled over his words, I could not wrap my mind around what he meant.


    The door creaked open. Thinking that it was Millie—that she hade to urge me to hurry—I muttered


    to her, “Millie, say, what do you think it means by time can change everything?”


    However, when I lifted my head, what greeted me was the sight of Nathaniel’s too-pale face under the


    bright light.


    It was at that very moment I realized what Ashton meant.


    Nathaniel had been watching us for a long time. Even if we did nothing, our time spent alone in an


    enclosed space was more than enough to tell him about our rtionship.


    After all, how could two people who abhorred each other be able to peacefully stay in the same room


    for long?


    Nathaniel studied me from head to toe. A beatter, he said with amusement, “It seems like Ashton is


    more determined to not love you than to love you.”


    I froze before I btedly realized what had happened—Nathaniel had assumed that Ashton’sst


    words were a rejection.


    He had clearlye to rub salt on my wound.


    It seemed like the messages in the morning had been a shock to his system.


    “That’s right. He’s good, isn’t he? He can stop loving someone right after dering so. Yet, he can fall


    for another woman almost immediately after that. On the other hand, you, Nathaniel, don’t even know


    what it’s like to love someone,” I said with a small smile.


    That was why people said not to cross a woman, especially a woman in one’s heart. Otherwise, one


    would only be hurting themself when one hurt her.


    I had managed to make Nathaniel drop his smile and begin scowling. His head was slightly lowered,


    and even the lights above could not help conceal the menacing aura he was exuding. “Have you


    forgotten what it’s like to infuriate me right after leaving the hospital?”


    Ruthless words from him, and I knew that he could do what he said. However, he had forgotten how


    much more annoying I could be when I put my heart to it.


    “I didn’t, so are you going to shoot me again? Aim well this time,” I taunted as I pointed at my heart.


    I was fearless, for the sledgehammer to my body was a sledgehammer to his heart.


    At that, Nathaniel took in a deep breath to calm himself. He then muttered, “The reason that you can


    live is not because I didn’t want you to die but because only I can decide when you should die. Do you


    know this, Scarlett? The grim reaper is going to knock on your door soon.”
