When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 

I fell into a deep sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, the bed dipped. Someone crawled into bed and pulled me into his embrace.

It must be Ashton. I said nothing and went back to bed.

I couldn’t really sleep well the previous night, perhaps due to all the stress recently. When I arrived at the company, I felt muddled.

Stacey entered my office with a few documents for me to sign. She poured me a glass of milk. “Ms. Stovall, you look pale. Do you need to go to the hospital?”

I shook my head. “I’m fine. I didn’t sleep well last night. You should go back to work.”

Indeed, my sleep schedule was horrible recently.

She gave me a concerned look and left with the files. Before leaving, she told me, “Do you want to see Dr. Crest? He’s here today. I saw him in the elevator just now.”

Jared was obsessed with medical research. He was a shareholder in Fuller Corporation, but he rarely showed up.

Ashton must be planning to invest in medical research. That was why he set up a research laboratory for Jared in the company.

I gave a nod. “Sure!”

My condition was horrible lately. I stood up and went to Jared’s office.

His office was on the same floor as Ashton’s. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but the moment I stepped out of the elevator, I immediately noticed Rebecca standing in Ashton’s office.

She was clad in a long and flowy white dress, her signature style. That was why I recognized her at once.

Heading straight to Jared’s office, I knocked on the door.

“What is it?” A deep male voice sounded. It was Ashton.

I recognized his voice at once.

“Ash, I thought about it. I’ve decided to neither go abroad nor enter showbiz.” declared Rebecca. She didn’t seem delighted at all.

“Mm!”

He sounded quite uninterested.

Jared didn’t answer the door. I knocked a few more times. Was he asleep?

“I’m here for you,” I replied. Before he could say anything, Rebecca’s voice rang out again.

“Ash, I know you don’t love Scarlett. A loveless marriage will ruin you. You have a child, but it won’t make you happy. Instead, it will become a gap between you both. You’ll be forever tied to her because of the child!”

Jared heard her clearly and raised a brow at me. “Eavesdropping?”

I was speechless.

“No.” Afraid he wouldn’t believe me, I added, “I need your help.”

“What is it?” he responded without looking at me. He was evidently engrossed in the ongoing conversation inside Ashton’s office.

“I don’t feel well these days. Can you find out if my child is affected?” I asked.

As he was still eavesdropping, my voice turned louder. “Dr. Crest!”

He shot me a look and gestured for me to continue eavesdropping.

Meanwhile, Rebecca was certain she was right. Sobbing, she continued, “You know Scarlett loves you, but you don’t love her. After some time, she’ll break down. This is not what a girl wants.”
