When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel Chapter 1124

I pondered over it for a while. Since I only had to meet Professor Zidd in the morning and would be free afterward, I accepted her invitation: Yes, but I’m only free in the evening. Are you okay with it?

Rose replied: Sure, evening it is! I’ll come to your house tomorrow. Well, I should stop bothering you since it’s getting late. Good night.

Upon seeing the moon emoji at the end of the message, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite their years of marriage, Nick seemed to have protected Rose well. It was apparent from her cheerful words that she was still young at heart.

Meanwhile, Ashton had finished taking his shower and came out of the bathroom. When he saw me smiling, he half-kneeled beside the bed and inched closer to me. “What’s so funny?”

Ashton smelled good after stepping out of the shower. Putting my phone aside, I wrapped my arms around his neck to take a whiff of his scent. After a while, I replied delightedly, “Rose added me as a friend on Instagram and asked me to go shopping tomorrow. I agreed to it.”

“Rose?” Ashton was startled for a moment before he continued, “Is she Nick’s wife?”

“Yes!” I nodded and continued, “We met her in the hospital two days ago. Have you forgotten about it?”

Since Ashton was occupied recently, I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t have any impression of her.

“I remember.” Ashton grabbed my hand and sat on the bed. Then, he took me into his arms and asked with a pensive expression, “Are you two close to each other?”

Moreover, I had handed over my tasks to others at Fuller Corporation a year ago and became an idler since then. Hence, I might even become too lazy to take care of Summer if I was barred from socializing. In that case, I would be no different from pigs in a pigpen.

A glint flashed across Ashton’s eyes as I finished speaking. Suddenly, he tilted his head and scanned my face. A few seconds later, he put on a wry smile and replied, “It’s a good idea…”

Upon knowing that he really had such thoughts, I was rendered speechless.

Feeling embarrassed and angry at the same time, I grabbed the pillow below my head and threw it at him. “Don’t ever think about it!”
