When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199

Ashton helped me to take off the slippers and sit down on the bed. “The food is tasteless without you.”

His words were void of emotion, but they brought a lump to my throat.

I had the same feeling too when I was in Stovall residence. After all, the person who had been with mefor ten years had already become a part of my life; thus, his absence would make my life meaningless.

After tucking me in, Ashton got up and went to the wardrobe before walking back to me with two files inhis hand.

He opened one of them and handed it to me.

Taking it over, I took the content out curiously and frowned when I read it. “Didn’t you give this to theMurphys already?”

The petroleum subscription agreement was the chance for the Murphys to make a comeback. Now Iunderstood why Armond returned.

Knitting his brows, Ashton cast his gaze down and said nothing.

I knew that he was hiding something else from me again.

Putting the file aside, I let out a long exhale. “Tell me everything that you’re hiding from me.”

“That’s all,” Ashton replied without hesitation.

“What’s this, then?” I asked while pointing at the other file.

At this, Ashton stared at the file in a daze for some time, seemingly thinking of something.

“What’s wrong?” I gave him a nudge.

Only then did he come back to his senses. He forced a smile. “What would you do if I tell you that it’s adivorce agreement?”

My heart skipped a beat as I frowned with a reluctant look on my face.

I could say those great lines for my children, but it did not mean that I could do it with ease. It was truethat I could cut ties with him if we divorced now, but he would have to face the rivals that colluded withthe backing of government officials all alone. Without the support of the Moore family and Stovallfamily, he would probably end up being on the losing side.

“Have you thought it through? If we divorce this time, you won’t be able to replace me again.”

I pursed my lips while having an expectant look in my eyes, hoping that he would take a step back.

Looking down, Ashton said nothing for a while. Then, he took the file and opened it. Taking out thecontent, he passed it to me. I looked down at it and saw that, as he said, it was a divorce agreement.

It turned out that he had decided to choose revenge over our family a long time ago. He had chosen tobear the responsibility as a son, while my understanding and love were nothing to him.

“Look at the last page.” Ashton’s voice was attractive at night. It was uniquely charming and made mewant to obey everything he said.

I flipped through the agreement and saw my signature on it.

That’s weird. When did I sign this agreement? Could it be the previous agreement? But it can’t be. Theprevious content is different from this, but this signature does belong to me…

“I got Joseph to replace someone else sign this for us,” Ashton said in a low voice, “Does it look like yourhandwriting?”

Oh, so he got a professional to mimic my signature. No wonder I can’t even tell that it’s not mine. Inodded my head. “Yes, it does. I can’t even tell myself, but why do you prepare a fake divorceagreement?”

Looking at the file, Ashton smiled and reached out to pinch the paper before he unveiled another pieceof document behind the page that I thought was the last.

Compared with the formality of the divorce agreement, the hidden document was somewhat informal.The word “Agreement” could still be made out easily. After looking at it for a while, I only found out thatit was an assets transfer agreement that Ashton drafted. It stipulated that all assets of the Fullers wouldautomatically be transferred to me if something happened to him within two years.

In other words, as long as I signed it, I would become the sole heir to Ashton’s wealth. Even our kidscould not inherit anything.

Although this proved just how important I was to Ashton, it was not something to be happy about. Sucha preparation from him only indicated that even he himself was not sure if he could escape unscathedduring the course of his revenge.
