When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1525

I couldn’t help but feel indignant.

Right before the elevator doors closed, Ashton caught up with a gloating smile playing on his lips.

I rolled my eyes at him and refused to speak throughout it all.

As soon as the elevator stopped, I stepped out without hesitation, went to the car, picked Audrey up, and sat inside.

“Mommy, what did you leave behind?” Audrey asked innocently.

Her question left me even more exasperated. I’m pretty sure I left my dignity behind.

“Nothing.” The last thing I wanted to do was recall the reactions of those store employees. Hence, I hastily changed the topic. “Let’s go home now, okay? I’m exhausted and don’t have the energy to talk anymore.” I purposely inserted a whine in my tone.

“Mm, okay!” Audrey got down from my lap and sat obediently. Mimicking the way adults spoke, she instructed Joseph, “Mr. Campbell, you may drive now!”

Ashton bent over to get into the car just in time to hear Audrey’s words, casting her a wounded expression as he settled down in his seat, as though saying, “Don’t you want your father anymore?”

Audrey stuck out her tongue at him and cheekily hid behind Summer, pretending to ignore him.

At that moment, how I wished I was sitting in the same car as John. At least there, he would expose the “true colors” of this sly and shameless man.

Previously, he intentionally let Ashton believe that he was the Stovall family’s live-in son-in-law just for the fun of it, but I ended up getting the short end of the stick.

No, I have to find a way to cure him of his unhealthy tendency of living off his wife!

Fully absorbed in coming up with a solution, I didn’t realize we arrived home until after a good few seconds.

After passing through the gates, I noticed several trucks parked in the yard, seemingly here to transport large items.

But the workers were making their way out, so I surmised that they were already done with their work.

The service was excellent as they made sure to avoid coming when there were many people at home, so as to prevent accidents.

Audrey shook her head. “But other kids get to sleep with their parents. I want that too. I like Mommy and Daddy. I don’t wanna sleep alone…”

Children were difficult to reason with, and were also easily hurt. As they spoke, Audrey’s eyes became red-rimmed and her head drooped as she sobbed softly.

Of course my heart couldn’t take it when I saw this. Rushing forward, I comforted her. “Alright, alright. You don’t have to leave, okay? You can sleep here with me. You’re still small, so you can sleep on your own when you’re older. Don’t cry anymore, hmm?”

Audrey accepted my offer immediately, sniffling before returning to being all smiles. “Thank you, Mommy! I love you the most!”

Who could have resisted those large, tearful eyes of hers?

My mouth lifted into a smile. Then I told Summer to take her siblings to wash up while I, too, prepared for bed.

After all, we were out for an entire day. Tired, I took a hot shower.

Half an hour later, I opened the bathroom door and was surprised to see Ashton there. At that moment, he, Summer, and Gregory were huddled together and talking in hushed tones, which greatly aroused my suspicion.
