When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

I didn’t return to the villa after everything settled. I only sat around in Glenwood Apartments to pass the time since I didn’t need to go to work at Fuller Corporation any more.

After a few restless days, it was pretty obvious how much my belly had grown.

I didn’t even try looking up news regarding Ashton anymore. I just resolved to take care of the budding life within me.

During the weekend, Macy practically begged me to go to Q City with her for a few days since she was so bored. With the free time that I have right now, and me being the laid back person I am, agreed immediately.

It was a short trip from J City to Q City and it only took about an hour to arrive from one to the other. We hopped onto the train and Macy looked like an excited schoolgirl as she looked at the scenery outside. “I just made a down payment on a new house and the renovations just completed. I am inviting you over for a few days to jazz up my new place,” she said while holding my hand.

“When did you buy a new house? This is the first time I’m hearing this,” I asked. Admittedly, things have been hectic for me so I didn’t pay as much attention to her affairs.

“I only got it recently. I wanted to tell you earlier but you were so occupied with everything at work so I decided not to tell you until now,” she said nonchalantly as she was looking at her phone.

I guess she has a point. 

Our hour-long journey came to an end as quickly as it had begun.

After we alighted, Macy hailed a cab to get us to our destination as soon as possible. I could tell that it was a newly developed residential area on our way there.

The unit wasn’t very big, being only a hundred-odd square meter. The renovations were exquisite but not something that high-end. It was perfect for two people to live in.

“Let’s get some food in a bit. We’ll rest for tonight and then I’ll show you around tomorrow,” Macy said while leaning against the door to my room. “So what are we having later?” I nodded in agreement with her plan.

“What do you feel like eating?” she asked while glancing at my belly. “Oh, I know! Let’s get some pasta!” she continued.

“OK! Let’s have some spicy pasta! I haven’t had spicy food in ages! I’m already five months into my pregnancy, there shouldn’t be any problems,” I expressed. I knew Macy was concerned for me.

“Are you sure you can handle it?” she questioned me with her eyebrows raised.

“Yes, I am,” I assured with a nod.

I ignored her pleas and pushed the card back to her again. “I’m not taking no for an answer. I’ve worked at Fuller Corporation for two years and I’ve barely touched what I earned. Ashton also gave me a card that I’ve barely used. Moreover, Grandma left me some money too. On top of that, I’m still married to Ashton so he won’t mistreat me or anything technically. Even if we get divorced I would still get a lump sum of alimony. So please just take what I’m offering,” I pleaded in a serious tone.

“Alright, I’ll accept it. But in return if there’s anything bothering you, you have to let me know immediately!” she finally conceded and kept the card away.

It was then the waiter brought our pasta out to us. So I just gave Macy a shrug and shot her a look saying, “I promise you! Now let’s eat!”

Time flew by as we were eating and chatting away.

Seeing as it was getting late, Macy gave her belly a rub and suggested, “Let’s get some milk tea and do a little shopping before we head back! I haven’t shopped in a very long time!” she suggested.

I agreed since it really had been a long time since we last came out together. We got the bill and left for the shopping area.

“Letty, what brand have you..” Macy froze as soon as she heard those words. Her face filled with terror and dread.

I couldn’t help but follow her gaze and not far from where we were was John. He was in casual attire and with his statuesque physique and charming features, he was more attractive than any male celebrity around.
