When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1457

He slowly forced his eyes open and mumbled, “It’s so noisy… “

What? I’m doing everything for him, yet he treats me with such disdain?

I rolled my eyes at him in frustration and decided that was the last straw. “Is anybody out there?There’s something wrong with Mr. Fuller. Please come up immediately!”

I had already known how much of a control freak Ashton was. The second floor of his house was hispersonal space, and he didn’t like having anyone coming around other than for cleaning duties.Thankfully, I was with him when he had his seizure. Otherwise, it’d have been a while before anyonefound him.

Before any of his staff could reply, Ashton muttered, “I’ll throw you out if you speak again.”

I looked down at him and saw his bloodshot eyes staring back. The worst seemed to be over, and Ifinally heaved a sigh of relief.

“You can throw me out if you like. But if you don’t let go of my hand, you might end up getting thrownwith me.”

When Ashton realized what he had done, he pulled his hand back immediately and staggered to getback up on his feet.

Finally free from his grip, I tried to get up from my kneeling position.

Unfortunately, my legs had gone numb from having knelt for so long and buckled under me.

I was about to fall when Ashton rushed forward to help me up. He then quickly let me go before takinga step back. “You can leave now,” he ordered. I looked at him incredulously and crossed my arms in

annoyance. “Mr. Fuller, where have your manners gone? I just saved your life after all. Shouldn’t you atleast thank me?”

“Unfortunately, I have lost my manners. If you don’t mind being taken advantage of, you may stay herefor as long as you like.”

I had nothing left to say as I glared at him.

It was appalling how someone as atrocious and misogynistic as him could have a child as adorable asGregory.

I had had enough. There was no point in staying and trying to reason with someone that obstinate. Myleg was still numb, but I couldn’t care less as I limped my way out.

I had only managed a few steps when Ashton suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and liftedme up.

His behavior caught me by so much surprise that I had to hold onto the collar of his shirt to steadymyself.

There was still shock written on my face as I looked up at Ashton, who had a cheeky grin on as hiseyes sparkled with mischief.

Is this guy trying to be funny?

“Ashton, please behave yourself and let me down!” I warned through gritted teeth.

“I’m the kids’ father, and you’re their mother-to-be. How do you expect me to behave?” he questionedwhile carrying me toward the bedroom. The tone in his voice was casual and yet so suggestive.

My cheeks turned red in embarrassment. I bit my lips, not knowing how to respond. How did ashameless man like him become one of the most powerful and richest men in the world?

We had only just gotten to the bedroom door when we ran into Gregory coming up the stairs.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw us, puzzled by the scene in front of him. With his tablet in hishands, he began circling Ashton and I.

Before long, he threw his hands up in joy and exclaimed, “I want Daddy to carry me too!”

I bit my lips and pounded Ashton’s chest. “Hurry up and put me down!” I threatened.

Because of our close body contact, I could feel my words reverberate through Ashton’s body. The nextthing I knew, he had let go of one of his hands without warning, and I fell out of his embrace.

Just as quickly as he had let me go, Ashton grabbed me by my waist and had his other arm around myshoulders. My feet could touch the ground, but the way he held me kept me suspended. We were nowin an even more intimate position than before.

The longer we stayed in that position, the more my mind raced. Should I compliment Ashton for beingnimble, or should I admonish him for once again trying to take advantage of me?
