When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1591

“No, Daddy.” Summer smiled and explained calmly, “Aunt Emery and Uncle Holden were just thinking of letting me tag along to learn how to do business from them.”

Ashton nodded in understanding and asked, “What do you think then? Are you interested?”

Summer pursed her lips and looked like she was still undecided.

Ashton was extra patient. “You don’t have to think about what others think. Just follow your heart. You’re still young, so it doesn’t really matter if you don’t want to. If you want to continue learning, I’ll support you.”

“Thanks, Daddy.” Summer seemed to have gotten some bravery from her father’s words and smiled. “I’ve actually been thinking about doing business for quite a while now. I was just afraid that Daddy and Mommy won’t agree to it.”

Just as I thought, the girl was hiding so much from me, and I did not even realize. All I ended up doing was putting up a resigned smile. “Let’s hear it then.”

At that moment, Ashton raised his hand on my shoulder for a bit and placed it back down. It felt like he was comforting me, so I looked at him, only to find him with no reaction. Maybe I’m just thinking too much.

“I want to open a bar!” Summer told us.

“The largest one in the whole city!”

“A bar?” I blurted out before Ashton had a chance to speak. That prompted me to recall all the things that happened that rainy season.

This time, the pat on my shoulder was more apparent, so I could confirm that Ashton was indeed trying to comfort me. But this time, my eyes were glued to Summer, so I did not react to it.

With how Holden did things, he would surely hit Summer up when Emery was not looking if he was interested. Emery would not even know when and how she lost.

But that was all an afterthought as I only had Summer’s intention in mind. I was more worried than anyone present, but I did not want to show it. So, I did my best to hold it in and kept my voice calm. “Summer, tell Mommy, besides liking it, is there any other reason why you would like to open a bar?”

When the question left my mouth, I instinctively clenched my fist. I was afraid that I might hear the answer in my head, that she knew.

About her past, about Macy, and about how she died.

That said, Summer remained smiling and looked at me innocently. There was not much change in her expression when she said, “Mommy. Isn’t that enough? This is the only thing I like besides math. Can I do it?”
