When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1680

Summer was bold and honest as she said that. However, she instantly deflated upon meeting Ashton’s sharp and intelligent eyes after she ended her words.

Even I was scared by his look. Thinking that there was a misunderstanding between them, I immediately stood up and held his arm to get the situation in control. “Please, speak properly. Don’t scare the child.”

Yet, he seemed to not hear what I said. Instead, his eyes were glued on Summer the entire time as though he planned to see through her cover.

As the time ticked by, Summer finally admitted defeat. Looking dejected, she lowered her head.

“When did you know about it?” Ashton asked coldly.

“What?” I was perplexed and was still clueless after shifting my gaze from Summer to him.

Summer, on the other hand, drooped her head lower as she attempted to change the topic. “What do you mean? Are we done visiting all the deceased? If so, I want to go back first. After what had happened to the club yesterday, I don’t want an accident to also occur in Wenville, so can you let me off?”

“Up to this point, are you sure you want to keep being obstinate?” However, Ashton was persistent and didn’t plan to drop the matter at ease.

Even though I felt that he was being too overbearing, I couldn’t help but notice something was off. Thus, I chose to stand aside to see what Ashton planned to do next.

Nonetheless, Summer knew how I could sway Ashton’s decision at ease. Therefore, when she failed to persuade him, she changed her target to me.

“Mommy, both Wenville and the club are my businesses. I believe that you’ll support me, right?”

“Of course.” Without hesitation, I nodded in agreement. When I snapped back to my senses in the next second, I paused briefly before adding, “But your dad isn’t an unreasonable person. Judging from his serious look, he might really have something he needs to discuss with you. Although your businesses are important, your family should be your priority. So, why don’t you listen to what he plans to say first?”

Hearing that, Summer knitted her brows further, knowing that we wouldn’t change our minds at that point.

Ashton took in a deep breath. Next, with a hint of helplessness, his attractive voice sounded in the quiet cemetery. “Just because Scarlett isn’t your biological mother, no matter how good she does, you always keep your distance. Yet, when it comes to him, you lose your composure the moment you know that he’s going to leave you. Summer Stovall, do you really feel no guilt at all?”

Worried that he would reveal the incident years ago, I quickly tugged at him with a disapproving look. “Ashton Fuller! Do you know what you’re saying now?”

After saying that, my mind went blank for two seconds before the realization hit me hard. Dumbfoundedly, I turned to look at Summer, asking, “Y-You knew?”

Ashton would never say something he wasn’t sure of. Hence, it could only mean that Summer had really known about her identity.

To hide what happened between Macy and Jared from her is a silent rule that everyone obeys. In that case, who is the one that wastes all our efforts?

Before Summer could answer him, he reminded again, “If you still acknowledge us as your parents, you better be honest.”
