When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 784

Taken aback, Channing looked at Ashton, puzzled.

Ashton was not the least bit upset. He quickly got up and bowed in apology. “Sorry, Mr. Oberick. I’d always wanted to explain what happened at the hotel then, but I didn’t get the chance to. I’ll officially make amends to you today.”

Then, he took out the bracelet that Channing had given Rachel and returned it to him. “Actually, Scarlett is my wife. We just had some conflicts on the day that we ate in the hotel. We can’t accept this bracelet.”

Since it had come to this, I stood up and bowed in apology as well.

Channing seemed to still be a little stunned. He looked at me in a daze and said, “You guys…”

Just then, Nora spoke. “Don’t you understand yet, Grandpa? They had some conflicts before, which resulted in that big mess. But Mr. Fuller’s right. Grandma left that bracelet behind, so you can’t just give it away so casually. If you want to give them a gift, you can get them something else. The bracelet contains your memories with Grandma, so you shouldn’t just give it away.”

Channing smiled as he opened the box to look at the bracelet. He then looked at Ashton and me, who were still standing, and said, “It’s fine, you two can sit down. At least we resolved this misunderstanding.”

When we had taken our seats, he continued, “It’s normal for married couples to fight once in a while.”

Ashton and I quickly nodded in response. Nora then looked at me and whispered, “I didn’t think that your handsome icy husband would be so humble in front of the elderly!”

I smiled faintly. Ashton’s charms were not only because of his appearance and how commanding he was. His granitelike sternness with his subordinates and his disinterest in outsiders were all just habits of his.

The things that he wanted to pass on to us were simple and heart-warming. There were many wealthy people in the world, but not many could find peace in their hearts.

He hoped that even after facing the mess and filth in the world, we would still be able to face our lives with ease. Having such a mentality would be more important than anything else.

Channing’s eyes held a hint of longing and reluctance as he stroked the bracelet. After a while, he handed it to me. “I’m old. I’ve been through the hardship that I had to and enjoyed the blessings of living a good life too. So many things happened in my lifetime, and everyone I miss is already gone, so I’ve nothing left to worry over. All I want is to grant my wife’s wish. Keep this bracelet and let it pass on from generation to generation.”

My heart was warm, and my nose started burning. As I took the box into my hands, I nodded at Channing and replied, “Mr. Oberick, we’ll definitely pass it down to the younger generations.”

He nodded and broke into a smile. “Good. The future lies in the hands of young people like you.”
