When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett )

Chapter 170

“Ash, please take your friendship with Parker into consideration, and don’t leave me alone! I need you by my side. Please, Ash! I don’t need anything else apart from your companionship. Along with Jared and Joe, we can live a carefree life as we had used to, can’t we? I’ll always be the innocent little girl that requires the guidance of the three reliable brothers of mine. Please don’t leave me alone! I can’t possibly live on my own!”

Ashton’s initially indifferent look seemed to have eased up because he was affected by her words. Nobody would know him better than me-he had never enjoyed being alone; he couldn’t bear to leave the needy ones alone either.

Rebecca’s seemingly sincere words had touched him. He had always been alone ever since he was young. Although Ashton had his doting grandfather by his side, none of the things that his grandfather had done could compensate the man for his loss.

Therefore, he couldn’t bear to forsake his friendship with Parker and his relationship with Rebecca because being needed would give him a sense of accomplishment that he desired. It would make him feel loved. |

I stood by his side silently because I couldn’t be sure as to how I was supposed to react. All along, I knew that I wasn’t a match for Rebecca. I could never put on such a great show to deceive others.

As Ashton returned to her side and brought her up, casting a gentle gaze as if he could forget the things that she had done, I knew that my efforts were in vain.

Apart from the sound of Rebecca sniffling behind us, we were dead silent throughout the entire ride. It felt as though I could hear the ambient noise in the car.

In the end, I broke the silence, requesting once the car was brought to a halt at the junction, “Why don’t you pull over at the bus station in front? I’ll drop by a certain somewhere before making my way home.”

Furrowing his brows, Ashton looked at me as he queried, “Where are you going?”

I tried my best to force a smile onto my face as I denoted, “I’ll go for a walk and get Macy the mangoes that she’s craving for before I make my way to the ward.”

“I’ll go with you!”

“No!”
