When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1505

He was still as self-righteous as ever after six years.

Is it fun pulling a trick on everyone like this?

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists as I dashed to the study.

When I opened the door, Ashton wasn’t there.

If we didn’t talk this through tonight, I would have trouble falling asleep, so I decided to confront him.

Suppressing my fury, I went through all the rooms on the second floor, from the guest room to the storeroom. But he was nowhere to be found.

Finally, I went into the bedroom.

The door was wide open, and I scanned the room in the hallway. To my disappointment, the room was empty.

At this moment, a “thump” sounded from behind, and it was the sound of the door shutting.

I turned around and almost bumped into a sturdy “wall.”

Ashton was right in front of me and the distance between the two of us was less than 0.5 centimeters. If we got closer, we could hear each other’s heartbeats.

I pushed him away by reflex. “Mr. Fuller, please watch yourself.”

The man staggered for a few steps before stopping. He looked at me without any expression on his face, while complicated feelings could be seen in his eyes, and it was hard to tell how he felt.

Then, silence followed, as the man said nothing, and that was what I hated the most.

“Why are you not talking?” I spoke in an overbearing manner. “Didn’t you lose your memories? You forgot everyone and only take me as a substitute, right? So why are you getting so close to me?”

Ashton kept silent as he frowned slightly. Staying rooted to his spot, his eyes went dull as he stared at me.

I struggled to break free, but he tightened his grip and pulled me closer to him.

When I raised my head, Ashton was looking at me with a fiery gaze. The man looked like an injured wolf as his eyes were filled with passion and sorrow.

After staring at me for a few seconds, he extended his neck and leaned in closer to me. Our face was touching and slowly, he pressed his lips on mine.

I remained rational and broke free from his grip before grabbing his arm. Looking at the man seriously, I asked, “Can you make a choice now?”

I can’t coexist with the Hall family.

It wasn’t because I couldn’t accept them. Instead, they just wouldn’t let me off. After so many years of scheming against me, I figured they wouldn’t let us live our lives unbothered if I remain alive.

The anguish I had suffered was carved into my body, and I still remembered the pain to this day.

Ashton seemed to be aloof, but he cherished his family. I believed he could’ve been ruthless to the Hall family, but he kept on hesitating. As time went by, he couldn’t make up his mind to do it, so we had fallen into the traps laid out by the Halls.
