When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 941

I forced a smile. “I get it. I’ll take care of myself, just go.”

He was still worried despite that and told Cameron some dos and don’ts before he left. Then, Cameron looked at me. “He’s really nice to you.”

I smiled. Then my phone rang. It was from Armond, who hadn’t called me in a long time. I frowned in annoyance when I saw his number. Ever since what happened in Moranta, I lost any good impression I had for him. But I took his call anyway. “What is it?”

His voice was deep, but also depressing. “It’s been a while. We might not be friends anymore, but we don’t have to be enemies; so, you don’t have to be so hostile. “

I sneered. “You tried to harm my husband. If that’s not enough to antagonize me, I don’t know what will.”

He laughed mirthlessly. “Are you free? Why don’t we meet up? You might gain something, you know.”

“Thanks but no thanks,” I refused.

“Come on, don’t say no so fast.” He chuckled. “I heard you’re trying to find a matching kidney for the Crests’ kid. I’m your friend, Scarlett, and I’m a kind man. I don’t mind getting a suitable kidney for the child. All you have to do is ask,” he said casually, much to my surprise.

I frowned. “What are you trying to do now, Armond?”

“Let’s meet up and talk. You raised the child, didn’t you? You can take this risk. You risked your life in Moranta for Ashton, so why not for the child? Is she worth less than your husband? All I want to do is to chat with you.”

I was surprised that he could sound so nonchalant since he was usually a stern man. What is he really like deep down?

My prolonged silence prompted him to speak. “So it’s a no, huh? I feel bad for the poor child.”

“Give me the location.” I took a deep breath. I didn’t know how he would find the kidney, but it was a pressing matter, so I had to give it a try.

He laughed as if his plan had worked. “You are always so loyal, Scarlett. I’m looking forward to our meeting, but don’t tell anyone about this, and don’t try to pull any tricks behind my back. Or I’ll make sure your daughter is bedridden for life even if she gets the bone marrow she desperately needs. You know I can do that.”

I looked at him. “Please make this quick.”

He pursed his lips calmly. “So I’m not even your friend now.”

“Do you think we can still be friends after what you did?” I held my anger back. He was no longer my friend from the moment he tried to kill Ashton in Moranta. In fact, he was my enemy since then.

He smiled despondently. “You know I would never harm you.”

“Depends on how you define ‘harm.’” I sneered. “That’s enough of pleasantries. You have plotted ever since we met, but I don’t really care about your reason. Just cut to the chase.”

He pursed his lips and squinted at me. “Very well then. Remember the sandalwood box you promised to give me back in Venria? I took your girls back safe and sound, but what did you do? You gave me a fake box. Do you think I’m an idiot, Scarlett?”

I froze for a moment. Oh, so he found out about that. I pursed my lips. “I know nothing about that box. You wanted it, so I gave it to you. I can tell you that my grandma gave it to me, so it’s just something my grandma left me. I have no idea what the content means to you, and I don’t know what you want from it.”
