When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1509

Ashton shook his head. He sounded tired as he spoke, “For the past few years, a woman’s figure keptappearing in my dreams every single night. When I tried to take a closer look at her face, a transparentwall would appear, stopping me from getting any closer. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break thewall. It was only until I met you that I stopped having the same dream, and I could finally sleep well atnight.”

At that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was more agonizing to live without memories for sixyears or being haunted by nightmares while living like a puppet.

Fate had brought us together; nothing could separate us. If either one of us suffered, the other wouldfeel the same as well.

I patted on Ashton’s back and decided to let bygones be bygones. “Let’s forget about it. You should getsome sleep now.”

Hearing that, Ashton let go of me.

The next moment, before I had even realized it, the man had carried me in bridal style with my armsinstinctively wrapped around his neck the moment he stood up.

As I looked up, my eyes met with his that were full of passion and desire. “W-What are you doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?” With a calm expression, Ashton spoke up while he carried me into thebedroom, “When you were not around, Nicolas has always tried to set me up with other women.”

This was the first time I heard about it. Nevertheless, I said jokingly, “You’re talking about Thora, huh?Well, I know you. Careerwoman is not your type.”

Ashton halted in his steps. Casting his eyes downward, he stated, “Thora is just one of them. In fact, Iwould meet those ladies from the prominent families every month.”

Hearing that, I sneered, “It looks like you enjoyed life better when I was not around. I guess I’ve madethe wrong decision in coming back.”

Hmph! Men only think with their d*cks!

With that, I pushed him hard on the chest, trying to get off of him.

Ashton briskly walked toward the bed. Then, he placed me on the bed before he climbed on top of me.

I struggled harder to push him away the moment I felt him pressing his lower body against mine. “Getoff me, or I’ll call for help! John and the kids are here, so don’t disgrace yourself.”

Disregarding my warning, Ashton pinned my arms above my head. Fixing his eyes at me, he leanedcloser and smiled faintly. “Scarlett, you’re a mother of a six-year-old. How come you’re still so hot-tempered?”

“Hmph! Because I’m a woman.” Holding my head high, I retorted sarcastically, “You’re a generous man.You can give your love to a lot of women out there. Mr. Ashton, I’m not like you. There is only roomenough to fit a man in my heart. Only the one who is loyal and faithful to me gets to hold the key to myheart. If the man fails to remain faithful, I will not hesitate to leave him.”

Ashton narrowed his eyes while the corner of his lips went up. “Are you done?”

As he spoke, I wished to wrench my hands free from his grasp. Yet, my effort was in vain. The manheld my hands even tighter after replaceing out my intention.

Glaring at him, I said through gritted teeth, “I’m done. Now, get out! I won’t embarrass you in front of thekids.”

Ashton let out a chuckle. He then glanced at his hands that were gripping mine and teased, “Scarlett,let me remind you that you’re the captive here. You’re at my mercy now. I’m the one who gets to callthe shots, not you.”

His words rendered me speechless. I clenched my teeth and blustered, “Let go of me before you regretit.”

Before he could even react, I screamed out loud, “Help! Somebody, help… Mmph…”

The next moment, the man mashed his lips against mine. At that instant, I froze as my whole body wasburning up by the flame of his passion.
