When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1508

Chapter 1508

“You’re a smart woman who knows how to avail yourself of your strength. Unfortunately, you’ve pickedthe wrong target. If you want to become my wife, you should just come after me.”

Ashton knew that I, who had lost my memories, would have a bad impression on him for what he said.He knew the young lady who was passionate about love would probably replace him hateful.

His heart was dripping with blood. Nevertheless, he plastered a smile on his face.

Scarlett, stay away from me like how you did today. Forget about our past and live your own life. Letme deal with all the troubles and conspiracies.

If everything went according to the plan, we wouldn’t need to go through all these sufferings.

Ashton wanted to let me go, yet his resoluteness and composure fell apart after reading the documentbrought to him by Joseph.

Even if it would mean putting himself at risk of being found out that his memory had recovered, Ashtonhad insisted on moving out of the Hall residence with Gregory and moved into the house next door toMarcus.

He wasn’t sure if I had really lost my memory, so he resorted to other methods to take me away fromMarcus. As such, he had made use of some of the Hall family’s secret hideouts. After he foundCamelia and the child, he made them reunite in front of me.

Those harsh words he threw at me about the cooperation and that me being a substitute were just histactics to make me stay by his side with the fake identity.

He was afraid I might recover my memory way before he sorted everything out.

John’s appearance, on the other hand, was not within his expectation. He had forgotten that John wasan old acquaintance of Zachary; our encounter would increase the chances of me recovering memoriesof the past.

As expected, I became a completely different person after meeting John.

Although his plan went slightly off course, that would only light a fire under him to retaliate. Soon, heset his first target – Tiffany.

Ashton knew I had recovered all my memories. Regardless of his reluctance to part with me, I was theone who got to decide whether I wanted to stay or leave him.

It was a surprise and a huge relief when I came back to him. My return was the best reassurance givento him.

Meanwhile, Ashton and I were snuggling up on the couch in the living room. I leaned against his chestwhile the man wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Our back views looked like an elderly couple whohad gone through thick and thin in life.

“In the mall, my mind went blank when the explosion occurred. When you showed up, all my memoriescame flashing back, including that piece of memory of me being hypnotized.”

With a self-deprecating smile, he went on saying, “How ridiculous! The culprit that messed with mymemories turns out to be a little pocket watch.”

I felt slightly disappointed. “I thought you would remember the person who hypnotized you.”

Ashton held my shoulders, and his eyes bore straight into mine. “To a hypnotist, his pocket watch is asimportant as a violin to a violinist as they represent their identities. Besides, the carved pattern on thepocket watch is unique. That might be a useful clue. I believe we can replace the hypnotist pretty soon.”

I felt unused to seeing the serious look on his face. “Ashton, actually, I replace you more likable as the live-in son-in-law.”

Ashton was slightly bewildered by my remark that came out of nowhere. Nevertheless, he curled hislips while hugging me tighter. “If you wish, I can be the Stovall family’s live-in son-in-law from now on.I’m just afraid that you might be sick of me being a jealous husband.”

“I won’t!” I shook my head. “You look more… real to me that way. I will be happy every day as long asyou’re here by my side.”

Ashton’s tightened his arms around me. “Finally, I don’t need to feel your warmth and heartbeat in mydreams. I have you in my arms now,” he uttered in a deep and husky voice.

My face flushed scarlet at his sweet words. I buried my face deeper in his chest and started raking upthe past in an attempt to hide my shyness, “You were still in a hypnotized state before I recovered mymemories. At that time, you thought I was a heartless woman, and you couldn’t be happier if I couldjust get lost. How would you even dream about me?”
