When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel Chapter 1237

Sighing, I rose to my feet to close the windows.

I had barely taken a few steps when a rustling sound was heard outside the window.

Is it the wind? Or is someone out there?

Curious, I carefully made my way toward the window. When I was half a step away from the window, I came to a stop and stood on tiptoes to peek outside.

Right then, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the eaves. The person stretched out another hand and proceeded to climb in.

As the person had his back to me, I could only figure out he was a man based on his muscular built. My sixth sense told me he meant no harm as he had risked his life to scale the walls. Hence, I watched as he made his way in, prepared to cover up for him if needed.

Soon, the man jumped in and turned to face me. The moment I saw his face, my eyes lit up as I dashed forward to give him a tight hug.

“Ashton, I’m glad to know you’re alright.”

I was afraid to hear of his news through Marcus.

The man relaxed and exhaled sharply. He wrapped his arms around me. “You’ll be the death of me.”

I teared up at his words and looked up. I parted my lips to say something when something occurred to me. Struggling out of his arms, I told him, “Wait for me,” before I ran to the living room.

Ashton tiptoed to the door and made sure no one realized his arrival before returning to me.

“Come here, Ashton.” I held the laptop and sat by the bed. He sat beside me obediently.

I was reckless, impulsive, and couldn’t be bothered about the consequences of my action. Ashton was right. I was displaying all the common mistakes a man would make.

Completely speechless, I lowered my gaze and fiddled with my fingers.

Seeing my reaction, Ashton pressed on, “Do you know what a good woman should learn?”

I shook my head.

It was difficult enough to be a good person, so I didn’t have time to learn more beyond that.

Feeling exasperated, Ashton let out a sigh and placed the laptop aside. He held my shoulders as we sat across from each other. “A good woman and a good wife should learn how to rely on her husband.”
