Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Love at the 2037

Chapter 2037

“Chiara! I’ve endured your control, your bullying, but when it comes to Ash, the

woman I truly love, I won’t let you treat her like this!” Maxwell’s temper flared,

echoing through the cold, snow–covered cave as he unleashed his fury on

his wife.

“Huh, sounds like someone’s grown a pair now. The nerve you have, speaking

to me with that tone,” Chiara scoffed, her voice dripping with contempt. “Don’t

forget who helped you become the heir apparent, Zelinsky. Without the

Lannister family’s support, do you think you could’ve defeated Magnus and

inherited the family?”

Maxwell let out a long sigh, his eyes darting toward the cave entrance. He

knew Chiara’s martial arts skills were far superior to theirs, and she had surely

noticed Ashton’s presence in the cave.

“Maxwell, I’m warning you–stay in line. If I replace out you’re reigniting old feelings

with that woman, you’ll regret it!” Chiara threatened, her voice cold and

sharp.

But Maxwell, for once, didn’t bend to her will. He fired back passionately, “Ash

is the only one I love! Not you, you controlling tigress! If she still loves me, I’d

walk through fire and water–hell, I’d even leap into the abyss if it meant

being with her!”

Ashton, overhearing this, froze in shock. Some nerve, Maxwell, that jack*ss

has to say such things! She had nearly lost her life helping him steal

important documents from the Holy Fire organization. And once he had what

he wanted, he’d dumped her in favor of a political marriage with Chiara Now

he claimed he’d always loved her? Ashton wasn’t buying it. Besides, her heart

belonged to someone else now, not this smooth–talking liar.

“Maxwell, go to hell!” Chiara screamed, her anger flaring as she slapped him

hard across the face, sending him crashing to the ground. Without a second

glance, she stormed out of the cave, her footsteps fading into the snowy

vind.

Ashton flinched at the sound of the slap, which echoed so loudly it seemed to

shake the cave itself. For a moment, she was so stunned by what had just

happened that she forgot she had come for revenge. By the time she

snapped out of it, Chiara was already gone, leaving Maxwell lying on the

ground, sobbing. His cries grew louder, tears streaming down his face.

“Ash, if only I had another chance, I’d hold you close and never let go! Why do

we humans only learn to cherish what we’ve lost? Ash, where are you? I miss

you so much!” Maxwell continued, completely absorbed in his emotional

display.

Ashton’s heartstrings were unexpectedly tugged by his words. She knew

Maxwell and Chiara hadn’t realized she was there, so there was no way this

was part of some calculated plan to manipulate her. Could it be possible that

Maxwell truly still had feelings for her?

Ashton clenched her fists, hesitating for a moment, then bit her lip and

walked toward him.

“Hey, who’s that sniveling coward crying in here? If you’re too scared, just quit

the game!” she called out, pretending to be casual.

Maxwell immediately stopped crying and stood up, quickly wiping away any

trace of his earlier tears. When he saw Ashton standing there, he was utterly

shocked, frozen in place.

“Oh, it’s you, Maxwell! Fancy seeing you here,” Ashton teased, not realizing

“Ash… wha… what are you doing here? How did you get in?” Maxwell

tammered, his emotions swinging between shock and excitement as he

approached her, still unable to believe what he was seeing.

Ashton was now certain–Maxwell had no idea that she had overheard their

conversation. He didn’t even realize how she had managed to get into the

cave.

“Please, you think you and your wife are the only ones who matter in Zovince?

I’ve got plenty of powerful male friends now,” Ashton boasted, acting as if she

were completely unfazed.

Maxwell, however, didn’t react the way she expected. Instead, he smiled

softly and said, “Ash, seeing that you’re doing so well now, I’m relieved. I’ll take

Maxwell sighed as he silently picked himself up. Just then, the light at the

cave entrance was blocked, and two dark figures appeared Ashton’s heart

skipped a beat as she looked up–two full–grown arctic wolves were standing

at the entrance, their eyes fixed on the two of them.

And it wasn’t just two. More wolves were approaching from behind. One of

them lowered its nose to the snow, sniffing the air, clearly attracted by the

scent of blood coming from Maxwell,

Wolves! Ash, run!” Maxwell shouted, throwing all concern for himself aside.

But before she could react, the wolves charged at them. Maxwell, without

hesitation, stood up and spread his arms wide, using his body to shield

Ashton from the wolves.

“Ahhh!” Maxwell’s scream pierced the cold air as blood began to spill. The

scent of it filled Ashton’s nose, bringing her back to her senses.

“You idiot!” Ashton cursed him, but her hands moved quickly, grabbing her

hunting rifle. She fired several shots at the wolves, bringing one down, and

the rest quickly scattered and fled.

“Hey, are you alright?” Ashton kicked the dead wolf off of Maxwell and knelt

beside him, her voice filled with concern. No matter what had happened

between them, the man had just used his body to protect her. Without his

selfless act, she might not have had the time to fire those shots.

“I–I’m fine… The important thing is that you’re alright,” Maxwell said with a

weak smile, his face pale but still managing to grin.

“You idiot!” Ashton scolded him. “Did you forget I used to be a cop? You got in

my way just now–you almost messed up my shot!”

Maxwell chuckled. “Sorry, I just wanted to protect you… even if it was a little

foolish.”

Hearing his words, seeing that smile, and feeling the warmth of his blood on

her hands, Ashton felt a surge of unexpected warmth in her chest. Her eyes

began to sting with tears she hadn’t expected.

“Ash… why aren’t you saying anything? Are you… are you hurt?” Maxwell,

espite his injuries, looked up at her with concern.

“Do I look as weak as you? I’m fine. Let me bandage you up,” Ashton snapped,

already pulling out bandages and first aid supplies from her backpack. Real

hunting was dangerous, and the organizers had provided each participant

with emergency medical supplies just in case.

“I don’t get it. Why would someone as weak as you even enter this kind of

game? Aren’t you afraid that, no matter how rich you are, if you die, you won’t

get to enjoy any of it?” Ashton grumbled as she bandaged his wound,

throwing in a jab of her usual disdain.

Maxwell smiled brightly despite the pain. “Because this place holds our

memories, Every time I come here, I remember the happy times we shared.”

tthose words, Ashton’s tears finally spilled over. She remembered those

days, Back then, she had been just shy of twenty, like many other young

women, and had fallen for a few bad men along the way. She had been

captivated by Maxwell’s sweet words, the daily surprises, and the whirlwind

romance he had offered her. She had thought he was mature, that he

understood her heart, and being with him had always made her feel happy.

She had long since believed she would never cross paths with Maxwell again,

and she hadn’t wanted to. But now she realized, all this time, he had kept her

in his heart. Despite everything, he had never stopped caring for her.
