When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1584

“What are you guys doing here?” I moved aside with a smile, leaving some space on the sofa for Rose to sit down.

She clearly had gotten past all of the Jackson drama and just sat down right next to me. “I heard that you guys came back, and I kept thinking about dropping by, but I was in Europe at the time, so I pushed it all the way to now. You’re not mad, are you?”

“Of course not! I’m glad to see you. Don’t worry about that,” I said breezily. Catching on to what she said earlier, I continued, “Has the Harrisons’ business already broken into Epea?”

“Not yet,” Rose said, a bright red blush suddenly creeping onto her cheeks. She glanced at Nick before saying, “We went for our honeymoon. Nick had been really busy the past year with work, so the moment he got some free time about six months ago, he took me on a global tour.”

Holden smiled meaningfully and interrupted, “Good for you, Mr. Harrison! I told you, men do best when they’re with women. Now you know why we tried so hard, right?”

Rose’s smile stiffened at Holden’s words.

I sighed. Holden was straightforward, but he definitely needed to learn about picking a time and place.

“Don’t listen to him. Mr. Taylor’s gone insane from counting dragon fruit seeds,” I quipped impatiently.

Holden probably imagined it unwillingly and ran off to the bathroom as he started to retch again.

“What happened to him?” Nick asked.

“Probably overdosed on dragon fruit,” Ashton said calmly.

“Ah,” Nick said, not trying to pick a fight. He then changed the subject and said, “We’ve brought you a present.”

He gestured toward the door, and his butlers walked in with a large package.

“Open them,” he commanded.

The butlers opened up the package and revealed the gift inside. It was an oil painting.

“Yeah!” Rose nodded frantically before saying happily, “Nick said it was fate to run into it even halfway across the world, so we decided to buy it as a present for you. It’s both charity and also a way for you to own your own work!”

“Haha…” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Here’s the thing, though. I don’t know how to draw. Didn’t Nick tell you?”

Rose shook her head in disbelief and turned to look at Nick.

Nick immediately burst out into laughter. “I said it on purpose. I thought it was weird because I knew that Scarlett couldn’t draw, but I didn’t want to affect your mood on our honeymoon so I just made up a story. Sorry, darling!”

Rose started panicking. “Huh? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Doesn’t that mean we didn’t end up getting a souvenir for Scarlett? Nick! How could you?”

Nick just shrugged.

“Okay, let’s not go any further into this.” I knew a couple’s spat could go on for a long time. It was starting to get late, too, so I went straight into the subject. “Nick, what exactly is going on?”
