When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 954

Without a word, I lifted my head and gazed intently at Ashton.

As my eyes were glued to him for quite some time, the man became uneasy and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Pressing my lips together, I asked in a serious tone, “How about your love for me? What is it based on?” I believe in utilitarianism. There was no way for two people to get together solely out of love. There must be other determining factors as well.

With his dark gaze riveted on me, the man didn’t utter a word, deep in contemplation. After what felt like an eternity, he finally spoke. “I feel lucky to have you. When I was in my twenties, I thought that love could last forever. Whether you’re an orphan or a daughter of the Moore family, I’m fine with it as long as it’s you. But now I think differently. I love you, because you’re the one I fell for since I was young, and you’re my wife. I’m grateful for your birth and your identity. If it weren’t for these, we would’ve to face countless hurdles and troubles. Because of whom you are, we’re able to spend the rest of our lives loving and taking care of each other in peace. Other than that, others will look up to and find us an enviable couple. You’re exceptional, and I’m pretty good too. That’s enough for us to live this life together.”

If love was getting together against all odds when we were young, then marriage was deciding to go through every trivial and mundane matter in life together. However, some had a chaotic married life, while the others treat one another with respect.

Ashton and I were the latter. Treating one another with respect was the best way to show that we cherished our marriage.

Leaning against his chest, I smiled faintly. “Ashton, moving forward, I need your guidance.”

He gave me a warm, gentle smile. “Please bear with me too, Mrs. Fuller.”

After leaving the hospital, Ashton and I went to the office. Every day, the man ran around between the office and the hospital. He barely had time to rest because of work and Summer’s condition.

Arriving in front of the office, I got out of the car and waited for him in the lobby while he parked the car.

It was lunchtime, so the lobby was crowded. At the entrance, a striking red sports car pulled over, drawing the attention of countless women nearby.

I couldn’t resist glancing at it too. The woman who got out of the sports car was none other than Rachel, whom I had not seen in a while. Thinking that she was still in A City, I didn’t expect that she was back.

The gorgeous woman and the sports car were an extremely eye-catching combination. The man in the car was dressed casually, looking like someone from a wealthy family in K City.

Rachel’s outfit was unusually seductive today. A black midi dress with a pair of boots made her legs appear long and slender. She also wore a luxurious and stylish white coat, looking alluring yet elegant.

I pouted my lips, thinking about it briefly before replying, “You know I couldn’t care less whether you love Ashton. I’m absolutely confident that he will love me forever. It’s just that I’m surprised to see you getting a new boyfriend so soon.”

She shrugged nonchalantly. “What’s so surprising about that? Every woman has a dream of marrying into a wealthy family, and the same goes for me. Other than the Fullers, there’re many wealthy families in K City, so I changed my target. He’s the third son of the Quinn family. Though the Quinn Corporation is no match for Ashton, it isn’t too bad. He’s the one who gave me all my branded clothes, house, and car. After experiencing a lavish lifestyle, I’ve come to the conclusion that one must make as much money as possible, especially a beautiful woman, who can make a fast buck with her beauty.”

My brows knitted together. I couldn’t bring myself to agree with her principles, so I kept quiet.

With her eyes fixed on me, she asked nonchalantly, “Do you look down on women like me?”

I shook my head. “Everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits, so I have no right to comment on yours.”

Pursing her lips, she shrugged. “Alright, you’re not as annoying as I thought. I’m not going to snatch your man away from you, so you don’t have to put your guard up against me.”
