When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1565

“I didn’t say anything.” With that, I turned around to avoid dwelling on it. At that moment, I realized thatsomeone was standing at the door.

Ashton had fair skin as well as attractive chest muscles and abs. Besides, even his calf muscles lookedperfect. I couldn’t help but feel that Ashton looked like a young and pretty boy compared to John.

After many years, Ashton still maintained his nice figure and was fitter than many young men.

I was shocked for a while, but my lips curled into a faint smile. It was probably the first time Ashton tookoff most of his clothes in front of many people. Moreover, even the maids who stood afar were stunned.

As soon as John and Ashton arrived, the swimming pool became virtual heaven for young ladies.

At that time, the craziest ladies were my daughters—Summer and Audrey.

“Daddy, is that you? I can’t believe you still maintain a perfect figure! Can I take a picture and share itwith my friends?” Summer commended.

Meanwhile, Audrey’s jaw almost dropped, and she couldn’t utter a word due to excitement.

Since John didn’t want to be left out, he stood at the nearest springboard and jumped into the poolperfectly. Summer and Audrey clapped their hands excitedly and shouted, “Wow, Uncle John isamazing! We love you!”

After a while, John popped his head out of the water and wiped the water droplets off his face. As hewas gasping for air, he wagged his fingers at Ashton provokingly. “Don’t pose for photographs overthere. Come and show us what you got.”

After flashing John a disdainful look, Ashton walked toward the springboard calmly.

Slowly, he spread his arms, held his breath, and jumped.

There were almost no ripples on the water surface when Ashton dived. The next moment, he swamquickly and came up to the children in the blink of an eye.

“Wow!”

“Ahh—”

Once Ashton popped his head out of the water, he placed Audrey on his left shoulder and maintainedhis balance with another hand.

After a while, Audrey came to her senses and felt excited. “It’s fun! Daddy, I want to try it again!Hehehe—”

At that moment, Ashton’s hair was wet and stuck to his head. Besides, water droplets kept droppingdown from his hair. Nonetheless, he maintained his overbearing aura and said, “Do you know who youshould learn to swim from?”

“I know! I’ll learn from Daddy! Also, I almost flew just now with a whoosh! I want to try that again!” Twodays ago, Audrey hugged John and said she wished to learn everything from him. It turned out that shewas fickle, for she only admired Ashton now.

Once Audrey finished, the two men exchanged looks. One of them showed off his victory proudly, whilethe other looked helpless.

“Ashton, you’re breaking the rules. I mean, anyone can lift Audrey because she’s so tiny, and thus thatdoesn’t count! Let’s have one more round by swimming back and forth in the pool. Whoever finishes itfirst will be the winner!” John shouted as he swam toward them.

Nonetheless, Ashton ignored John’s provocation and put Audrey down from his shoulder. After that, heasked Audrey, Gregory, and Summer to line up in front of him like soldiers before a commander.

“Today, I will teach you how to deal with drowning—”

“Huh?” The glint of excitement on Audrey’s face vanished once she heard Ashton’s command. Sheasked Ashton helplessly and cautiously, “Daddy, are we not going to play that game again?”

As Audrey was speaking, her voice got increasingly lower. In the end, she noticed Ashton’s cold faceand dared not say that she wanted so badly to play the game.

Although Ashton didn’t reply to her, his answer was crystal clear—no way. As the atmosphere becametenser, John gloated over it and didn’t persuade Ashton for Audrey.

It was Ashton’s principle to do everything attentively and wholeheartedly. “Work hard, play hard” wasnot his motto in learning any skills. Since children’s attention could be easily swayed, I agreed withAshton’s teaching method. Moreover, it was better to remain cautious because they were dealing withwater now.
