When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1829


    Chapter 1829 It Has Been A Long Time


    Nathaniel was a talented man, so Garrett was reluctant to take his life for real. In utter disappointment,


    he dismissed his subordinates. “Let them go.”

    Perhaps he didn’t want to witness Nathaniel’s weak state, for he stormed out of the private room in a fit


    of rage.


    When he had reached the door, he unwittingly halted in his tracks and snapped frostily, “I’m very


    disappointed in you.”


    After saying that, he left without a backward nce.


    It wasn’t until after his footsteps faded outside the corridor that all strength drained out of Nathaniel,


    and he copsed onto the ground before me without warning.


    If it weren’t for the bodyguards who rushed forward to save him, I would watch him die slowly without


    any hesitation.


    It was clear as day that Garrett was far more rational than Nathaniel. Despite thetter having


    disappointed him greatly, he still sent some men to escort the injured and unconscious man and me


    back.


    Of course, there was another possibility—he was afraid that Nathaniel would die at my hands.


    If that was the case, it proved that they knew me all too well.


    After Nathaniel was injured, the man in the suit moved into the Fuller residence to look after him 24/7.


    In fact, he guarded against me even more than he did Garrett’s subordinates.


    That was all the better, for it gave me much more freedom than I usually had.


    The afternoon after the day we came back, I nned to go out on the pretext of having some fresh air


    and return to the mall back then for a fortuitous meeting with the mysterious woman.


    I applied light makeup and hid the note I had long since prepared into the hiddenpartment in my


    backpack before I went downstairs.


    When I bumped into the man in the suit at Nathaniel’s door, he cast a long look at me.


    I reckoned he was wondering how there could be such a heartless woman in the world who was still in


    the mood to go shopping when his employer sustained such a severe injury because of her.


    I simply ignored his look and sauntered downstairs.


    In terms of being heartless, I was far from Nathaniel’s level. As such, I was just giving him a taste of his


    medicine.


    Armed with my experience back then, I headed straight for the cafe after entering the mall and sat


    there for the entire afternoon.


    s, luck wasn’t on my side that day. I waited until five o’clock in the afternoon when the cafe started


    serving dinner, but still to no avail. In the end, I could only foot the bill and leave.


    Disheartened, I strolled about the mall with my head lowered when someone blocked my path out of


    the blue. Just when I was going to move around that person, she called out to me. “It’s been a long


    time, Scarlett!”


    It was none other than Rose. Although six years had passed, she hadn’t changed much other than the


    addition of the undisguised affection and contentment on her face. Hmm, it looks like Nick has been


    taking good care of her.


    “It’s been a long time,” I greeted cidly in return. I didn’t n on talking to her at length since the


    situation was precarious right then. Whoever drew close to me would also be unwittingly putting


    themselves in danger.


    Thus, I proceeded to murmur, “I still have something to do, so please excuse me. We’ll have a meal


    together another day.” While saying that, I made to leave.


    Rose, however, stepped forward and took my arm. She dragged me along enthusiastically. “Let’s make


    it today instead of another day. I know of a restaurant that will certainly be your cup of tea, so let’s eat


    there together!”


    “Let go of me first, Rose. Please do as I say. Rose, Rose!” After entering the elevator, I finally shouted


    at her with my face flushed from panic.


    Rose was at a momentary loss, and her grip loosened. Seizing the opportunity, I broke free from her


    hold. At once, the atmosphere in the elevator turned exceedingly awkward.


    After a brief silence, Rose apologized. “I’m sorry, Scarlett. I didn’t know that you’re in a bad mood.”


    My wrath wasn’t directed at her, so there was actually no need for her to apologize. “It’s okay. It has


    nothing to do with you. It’s something personal.”


    The matter about Nathaniel didn’t reach Nick’s ears. Hence, they were in the dark about many


    things. Now that things have be tense between us, it’ll keep them safe instead.


    “Actually, I didn’t bump into you by chance. I purposely came to try my luck in meeting you. My friend


    told me that she saw you here, so I came over. I’m not doing this for myself but Nick. I want to help him,


    so…”


    Ah, she’s still the foolish woman who loves Nick wholeheartedly!


    “I got it. No matter the problem with Nick, I’ll have someone resolve it. But for today and the near future,


    I hope that neither you nor Nick look for me or go to the Fuller residence if I didn’t make the first move


    in contacting you both. Can you please do that?”
