When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 728

When did Summer tell Ashton all this?

As I stared at the tree in a daze, Rachel said, “If you can’t climb it, then forget it!”

Meanwhile, Ashton kept quiet and simply looked at me.

They seriously have nothing better to do. Grabbing on the trunk, I stepped on its branches and began to climb up the tree.

Back when I was in the mountains in Venria, I had to do a lot of physical exercises to survive. Resultantly, my arms were much stronger than before.

When I was up on the tree, I looked down and said, “Pass the bag up!”

Ashton handed me an empty bag as he warned, “Be careful, don’t fall!”

“Thanks!” I took the bag from his hands and shifted my position to pick the fruits.

It was not a difficult task, and indeed, the fruits on such trees were big and juicy and would surely taste delicious.

When I had already picked quite a few, the heavy bag became difficult to move around with. I lowered my body and passed the bag over to Ashton.

Then, I prepared myself to climb down.

“Ah! Snake!” A sudden voice rang out, shocking me. I slipped, falling off the tree.

I could not help but pray for the best for myself. Please, let there be nothing sharp below. Otherwise, this won’t be pretty.

I was prepared to take a fall. However, I suddenly noticed a strong force around my waist. Shocked, I turned to search for the source.

Ashton’s handsome face was what stared back at me. Although I was a little surprised, I let out a sigh of relief.

Recalling that Rachel had shouted about a snake, I released myself from Ashton’s arms and moved away, keeping my distance. I asked, “Where’s the snake?”

Ever since I saw a snake in Venria’s forest back then, my fear of snakes had only continued to grow day by day.

My question drew Ashton’s attention, so he looked at her as well and asked, “Where’s the snake?”

Rachel seemed to be stunned. When she regained her senses, she pointed at her feet in a panic.

Since she had pointed at somewhere so close to me, I subconsciously took a few steps back. Yet, when I looked closely, there was nothing.

Full of doubt, I looked at her in puzzlement. “Are you joking with me, Ms. Zimmer?”

I looked at Rachel and said, “Ms. Zimmer, why don’t I carry it!”

She had subconsciously wanted to hand over the bag but hesitated for a while as she looked over at Ashton. Then, she said with a smile, “It’s fine. You just fell off a tree and should still be quite shocked. Just take a break!”

I shook my head and replied in a carefree manner, “It’s fine! I didn’t get hurt, so it doesn’t matter!”

When I took the bag from her hands, Ashton frowned at me. “Give it to me!”

I was taken aback for a moment before I shook my head. “It’s okay. I can carry it!”

He had a displeased look on his face, looking at me with a hint of fierceness.

Although I was a little scared, I did not say anything. After a while, he handed me the bag in his hands and said in anger, “Since you like to carry it so much, carry both then!”

His actions came very abruptly, so I simply froze for a while, dazed. When I eventually composed myself, both Rachel and Ashton had walked far away.

I was taken aback and stood there for a long time, unable to recover my thoughts. Did I anger him again?

Feeling helpless, I could not help but sigh before I followed them in the end.
