When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 954

Chapter 954

Without a word, I lifted my head and gazed intently at Ashton.

As my eyes were glued to him for quite some time, the man became uneasy and asked, “What’swrong?”

Pressing my lips together, I asked in a serious tone, “How about your love for me? What is it basedon?” I believe in utilitarianism. There was no way for two people to get together solely out of love.There must be other determining factors as well.

With his dark gaze riveted on me, the man didn’t utter a word, deep in contemplation. After what felt likean eternity, he finally spoke. “I feel lucky to have you. When I was in my twenties, I thought that lovecould last forever. Whether you’re an orphan or a daughter of the Moore family, I’m fine with it as longas it’s you. But now I think differently. I love you, because you’re the one I fell for since I was young,and you’re my wife. I’m grateful for your birth and your identity. If it weren’t for these, we would’ve toface countless hurdles and troubles. Because of whom you are, we’re able to spend the rest of ourlives loving and taking care of each other in peace. Other than that, others will look up to and replace us anenviable couple. You’re exceptional, and I’m pretty good too. That’s enough for us to live this lifetogether.”

If love was getting together against all odds when we were young, then marriage was deciding to gothrough every trivial and mundane matter in life together. However, some had a chaotic marriedlife, while the others treat one another with respect.

Ashton and I were the latter. Treating one another with respect was the best way to show that wecherished our marriage.

Leaning against his chest, I smiled faintly. “Ashton, moving forward, I need your guidance.”

He gave me a warm, gentle smile. “Please bear with me too, Mrs. Fuller.”

After leaving the hospital, Ashton and I went to the office. Every day, the man ran around between theoffice and the hospital. He barely had time to rest because of work and Summer’s condition.

Arriving in front of the office, I got out of the car and waited for him in the lobby while he parked the car.

It was lunchtime, so the lobby was crowded. At the entrance, a striking red sports car pulled over,drawing the attention of countless women nearby.

I couldn’t resist glancing at it too. The woman who got out of the sports car was none other thanRachel, whom I had not seen in a while. Thinking that she was still in A City, I didn’t expect that shewas back.

The gorgeous woman and the sports car were an extremely eye-catching combination. The man in thecar was dressed casually, looking like someone from a wealthy family in K City.

Rachel’s outfit was unusually seductive today. A black midi dress with a pair of boots made her legsappear long and slender. She also wore a luxurious and stylish white coat, looking alluring yet elegant.

She seemed to have gone out for lunch with that man. Getting out of the car, she brazenly strode overto the driver’s seat and kissed the man on the lips. After that, she gracefully sauntered into the office.

I was surprised that Rachel found a new boyfriend.

Though we were not enemies, I didn’t really want to see her. Holding a leather bag in her hand, sheraised her brows and said, “Are you here to see Mr. Fuller? I think he’s not in the office.”

I nodded. “We just came back.”

“I heard about your daughter. I guess you got a lot on your plate recently,” she said with a shrug.

Instead of denying it, I hummed in response, not wanting to tell her more about it.

With her brows raised, the woman seemed carefree as she explained, “You don’t need to be sodefensive in front of me. Like I said, if we’re no longer love rivals, I’ll admire you a lot. The man in thecar is my boyfriend. Let me introduce him to you one day. Don’t be so antagonistic toward me.Although your husband is outstanding, he has no feelings for me, so I better keep my options open.”

Her words surprised me, but I remained silent. Nonetheless, she seemed unfazed by my aloofness. “Iguess you need more time, but please don’t stay at odds with me. We woman shouldn’t be againsteach other, am I right?”

I pouted my lips, thinking about it briefly before replying, “You know I couldn’t care less whether youlove Ashton. I’m absolutely confident that he will love me forever. It’s just that I’m surprised to see yougetting a new boyfriend so soon.”

She shrugged nonchalantly. “What’s so surprising about that? Every woman has a dream of marryinginto a wealthy family, and the same goes for me. Other than the Fullers, there’re many wealthy familiesin K City, so I changed my target. He’s the third son of the Quinn family. Though the Quinn Corporationis no match for Ashton, it isn’t too bad. He’s the one who gave me all my branded clothes, house, andcar. After experiencing a lavish lifestyle, I’ve come to the conclusion that one must make as muchmoney as possible, especially a beautiful woman, who can make a fast buck with her beauty.”

My brows knitted together. I couldn’t bring myself to agree with her principles, so I kept quiet.

With her eyes fixed on me, she asked nonchalantly, “Do you look down on women like me?”

I shook my head. “Everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits, so I have no right to comment onyours.”

Pursing her lips, she shrugged. “Alright, you’re not as annoying as I thought. I’m not going to snatchyour man away from you, so you don’t have to put your guard up against me.”
