When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 461

Joseph had been staying in the villa these few days. So, when he saw the luggage in my hand, he immediately called Ashton.

Then, he halted me in my tracks and gave me a perplexed look. “Mrs. Fuller, are you going somewhere? Why don’t I give you a ride?”

I shook my head. Smiling faintly, I said, “It’s alright. I’ve already called a cab. It’ll arrive soon.”

Indeed, the car arrived soon after.

Sally probably never expected me to leave so hastily. So, when she saw the car, she panicked and turned pale. Tugging on my hand, she hurriedly said, “Scarlett, no. You don’t need to leave so soon. I…”

“What Ms. Fuller said was true. I should have known better.” I cut her off. With that, I got into the cab.

Joseph was puzzled, but he could not stop me by force. In the end, he hopped into his car and followed me.

Previously, John had given me a house in K City. I thought I would never use it, so I had never gone there. Now that I was in need of a place to stay, I hailed a cab and headed there.

The house was located some distance away from the city center. The place was spacious with a stylish interior design. However, because it had been unoccupied for quite a number of years, it inevitably had a musty smell.

I did not expect the first person to visit my new place would be Marcus. When I saw him, my expression immediately turned cold.

I looked at him in disdain and spoke in an irritated tone. “Why are you here?”

He seemed to be happy to see me here. Glancing at the room behind me, he nodded approvingly. “Do you feel comfortable living here?”

I pursed my lips and ignored his question. “What do you want?”

He was completely unaffected by my unfriendliness. He grinned and asked, “May I come in?”

people would always choose to forget the most painful moments in their life. For me, that period of time was the most torturous moment of my life that I would choose to forget.

As he recalled the moments that we shared, my heart ached terribly. But I could not bring myself to speak a word to interrupt him.

I withdrew my hand and wanted to say thank you to him, but it sounded too shallow at this moment. So, I chose to remain silent.

He was still smiling, but there was now a hint of hostility in the way he was looking at me. “You got better day by day after that. And I naively thought that you would not have any hope in your relationship with Ashton again. Scarlett, I know you don’t love me. But so what? We have a long time to bring love and joy into our relationship. However, you still choose to be with him in the end.”

He then laughed sarcastically and mocked, “Scarlett, you never learn your lesson, do you?”

I had nothing to refute him. Pursing my lips, I fell silent.

He scoffed. “I didn’t want to hurt you. But Scarlett, do you know how I got through the nights after my parents passed away? Every night, my parents would appear in my dreams. My mother would yell at me, saying that she was cold while my father would tell me that he was lonely. Then, I’d be wide awake for the rest of the night, haunted by those dreams. How I wish you’re by my side to accompany me like how I’d taken care of you back then. But every time I opened my eyes after the nightmares, there’s no one else but me in my lonely, hollow room.”
