When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1055

I could not get my head around what Ashton just said, so I took the journal and started looking at itmyself.

It took me a while for what came to my sight to register. I did not spend much time thinking about whyAbe still appeared at Imperial Hotel after I saw him dead with my own eyes. It turned out that he had atwin.

“So is the person at A City’s prison Abe or Sasha’s husband?” I solicited Ashton’s opinion.

He lowered his gaze as he looked at the man in the photo. The man looked exactly like Abe, but helooked just like an ordinary lad without the uncanny gleam in his eyes. His complexion was fair and hisgaze was tender as he held Sasha in his embrace.

If Sasha had not mentioned the man’s elder brother in her diary, I would have mistaken the man in thephoto for Abe.

“We can only be sure after we meet the guy in A City,” Ashton said carefully as he closed the book.“You should just stay at K City tomorrow. Go back to Moore Residence. Holden will go over to K City intwo days’ time. He’ll bring you around the city then. If the company needs my signature, you can justsign in my stead.”

I blinked my eyes at him blankly. “I thought we’ve already decided to go to A City together? What’s withthe change of mind?”

“We can’t be sure if the corpse you saw at Moranta is Abe’s if the guy in prison is not him. He’s awanted criminal now, so none of us can say for sure that he’s not concocting some evil plan. You needto stay in K City. At least you’ll be safe staying with the Moore family. They don’t dare to do anything toyou over there. Besides, judging from the situation now, Armond is already fixed on giving up all the

assets in A City, so he won’t be in A City. Chances are he’s gonna stay with the Murphys in K City. I’llsort out everything in A City and get back real quick. You just wait for me in K City, alright?”

I calmed down and thought about his suggestion before finally nodding. “You stay safe, okay? Keep meupdated.”

He nodded and pulled me into his arms with a sigh. “Everything will be okay soon.”

“Promise me something?” I asked, looking up at him.

“What is it?”

I suddenly did not know how to bring this up to Ashton. It was really not the time to bring up in-vitrofertilization. I pulled back and looked at him in the eyes reluctantly. “Ashton… Let’s talk about this afteryou get back. I’ll go take a shower first.”

I really did not have the courage to bring this up to Ashton. I was scared, and my desire to have a childhad waned off. Taking care of Summer and seeing her grow up was already good enough for me. Itwas just that the Fullers was an influential and wealthy family. I felt like I needed to have a child toinherit the family business. That was the least I could do for George and Ashton. I had already lost twochildren because of my own carelessness.

Over in the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and pondered about this for a long time. Ashton and I hada good life and we were blessed to have each other. Not everyone got to have the people they loved intheir lives, like John and Rebecca. Life was full of challenges and difficulties, and no one could foreseethe future.

All we could do was to appreciate and love the people by our side, and hope that they could remainsafe and sound for the rest of their lives.

When I finally got out of the bathroom again, Ashton had already packed everything. When he saw mywet hair in a towel turban, he clicked his tongue impatiently. “How many times have I told you to dryyour hair immediately after taking a shower? You’re gonna catch a cold like this. Come over here anddry your hair.”

I nodded quietly and sat on his lap like I always did. “Is Joseph going with you tomorrow?” I asked,cuddling in his embrace.

“Nope. His wife is pregnant with their second child and she might deliver anytime soon, so he has tostay with her,” he said, rubbing my hair dry with the towel.

I was surprised to know that Joseph and his wife were already having their second child. That could beus. I could not help but shoot Ashton a guilty look. “I’m sorry, Ashton.”

A sweet smile played on his lips as he replied, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. I’m responsible forwhat happened too. I should’ve taken better care of you, so you don’t have to feel bad. We haveSummer now and that’s enough for us. Don’t you always want to apply for grad school? You shouldprepare for it and take the entrance exam next year.”

I was glad Ashton still remembered I wanted to further my studies. “Sure. I’ll go ask Hunter for moreinformation soon. Make sure you come home as soon as possible, okay? Should you just ask Boris togo to A City with you?”

“It’s okay. I can handle it myself. He should stay at K City and unwind a little. It’s almost new yearalready, so I think he’ll be preparing to go back to Moranta.”

Boris’ family was in Moranta. Since he had always been at K City, he must miss his family dearly.
