When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1503

“Of course.” Nathaniel took over the computer and sat down on the couch with Gregory.

Once they focused on the things they liked, they would neglect others as they were absorbed into the world of coding. I was the centre of attention just now, but now, it was as if I was transparent.

Knowing Gregory’s personality, he would be fixated on a matter until the problem was solved. So, I took the bowls and plates to the kitchen and instructed the maid to clean them.

When I exited the kitchen, Audrey was done showering and wanted to ask her brother to play with her. As she walked down the stairs, she kept on calling Gregory’s name, but her enthusiasm was met with indifferent answers from the latter. “Wait, Audrey. I’ll be done in a minute.”

While Nathaniel smiled at the girl and greeted her warmly, “You must be Audrey. I’m Uncle Nathaniel. Do you remember me?”

“Uncle Nathaniel?” Audrey scratched her head and furrowed her brows slightly before shaking her head. “I don’t. Do you know me?”

“Haha…” Nathaniel chuckled and explained with an amiable tone. “Your father is my brother. So, do you understand now?”

“Daddy, brother… oh!” Audrey was so shocked that her lips were curved into a big “O,” and she seemed to want to express her thoughts, but she didn’t make it clear. “I like my brother the most, and you like Daddy!”

Audrey probably thought that Nathaniel was close to Ashton like how it was between her and Gregory.

Suddenly, Gregory stood up and dragged Audrey to the couch at the side. With a serious expression on his childlike face, the child sounded like an adult as he negotiated with the latter. “Wait for me for about 15 minutes. Can you do that?”

Audrey nodded almost immediately and blinked her beautiful eyes. “Sure.”

They were undoubtedly brought out the best in each other.

Seeing how the girl was obedient, Gregory acted like an adult and let out a long breath in relief before running to the other living room. He took Audrey’s favorite doll and shove it into her arms.

I glanced back and saw Ashton at the staircase on the second floor. Then, he started walking down the stairs.

When the two heard his voice, they put down the things they had in their hands and got up together.

“Ashton, I heard that you’ve been unwell recently, so I’m here on behalf of dad and mom for a visit. While I’m here, I might as well spend some time with Gregory,” Nathaniel said.

Ashton didn’t reply and sat down on the couch with his legs folded, giving off an impression of the owner of this house. Then, he spoke slowly, “Are you here for a visit or a confrontation?”

Glimpses of shock flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes. Soon after, a smile returned to his face as he lowered his gaze. “Ashton, you’re overthinking. We’re just worried about you. Father said that you can go on a vacation whenever you want, and you’ll always be the president of the company.”

“How about you?” Ashton didn’t give him the time to breathe and leaned in closer. Looking at him coldly, the man emanated an oppressing aura and said, “You’re the heir of the Hall family, and your ability is on par with me. Don’t tell me you’re not going to use this chance to take action?”
