When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel Chapter 1433

My entire focus was on Ashton’s reaction.

Ashton happened to look toward me at the same time. His gaze lingered on me for a moment before he turned his head away.

Ashton lowered his eyes and sneered as if someone had told him a childish joke. “Then what?”

Emery continued on in that headstrong manner of hers. “She is your only wife.”

She seemed to realize she might have gone too far with that statement. She peered at Ashton cautiously.

Ashton seemed to be rather adept at hiding his emotions. His features had rearranged themselves into an expressionless mask once more. His silence was intimidating.

Emery tugged on the corner of my blouse worriedly, unable to suss out his true feelings. She seemed to be hinting at me to protect her if he made any unexpected moves.

I was confused at her immense faith in my ability.

Even if Gregory liked me, that didn’t mean Ashton would extend his kindness to me. Before figuring out the truth, Ashton would always think of me as a woman who approached his son with ulterior motives.

Frankly, I was less concerned about Ashton’s feelings than I was about the truth. I bit my lips briefly before I blurted, “I know Emery may sound unreliable, but I don’t think she has anything to gain from lying.”

Ashton barely flinched at my words, though I saw his eyes sharpen in focus as he pondered about my statement.

As long as he’s willing to listen, we’re one step closer to uncovering the truth.

I paused and glanced at Gregory.

He looked like an adult trapped in a small boy’s body. Enchanted by the lines of code on the laptop, he seemed to have a good hand in programming. His small lips were curved in a smile.

My whole heart softened at the sight. I couldn’t help but smile along with him. I suggested, “Actually, the solution is simple. Just let me do a DNA test with Greg, and we’ll have our answer soon enough.”
