When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

I knew that he was upset, so I bade goodbye to Macy softly as I walked toward him. Lowering my head, I expressed my gratitude. “Thank you!”

Ashton merely glanced at me as his expression turned thunderous. “Get into the car!” he ordered.

I entered the car obediently.

On the way back home, I received a text from Macy informing me that she was back home safely. Hence, I replied and texted her:Good night!

Looking out the car window, I realized that we were almost back home. The man was still as cool as ever. If he refused to say a word, I would remain silent too.

At long last, the vehicle came to a stop in front of the villa. He alighted the car as he soon made his way inside. I trailed along behind him as I explained, “Ashton, I thought that you were drunk. That is why I called Dr. Crest. I didn’t mean anything else.”

My explanation was possibly feeble, but I still spoke up even though I knew that he wouldn’t care.

Suddenly, he came to a stop as he narrowed his gaze at me. “Anything else? Do you seriously think Jared likes you?”

I was at a loss for words.

He’s right. Jared is Ashton’s friend. I am also Ashton’s wife. Even if I weren’t married to him, Jared wouldn’t like me.

I knew that Ashton treated me like dirt. If it weren’t for George’s help, I wouldn’t even get to meet Ashton, let alone marry him.

Seeing that I had kept silent, Ashton glared at me as he stomped upstairs.

At one in the morning, I drove across town to buy supper. I was secretly pleased because it hadn’t rained.

Nevertheless, by the time I stepped out of Granger’s, it was already pouring.

I drove back home slowly, avoiding the tunnel. J City was famous for flash floods involving highways and tunnels. Hence, I took a longer route home to avoid the flash floods.

Alas, I never expected that the car would break down halfway. As I took a longer route home, I was still far away from home. I ended up being stuck in a desolate area. It was pouring, so I couldn’t hail a cab either.

Whipping out my phone, I realized that the battery was about to go dead. Seeing as such, I hurriedly called Ashton.

I called him several times, but he never picked up. My battery was about to go flat, so I rummaged around in the car and found an umbrella. Grabbing his supper, I alighted the car.
