When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Shortly later, I heard the sound of Ashton starting the engine of his car downstairs.

As I was still feeling drowsy, I fell asleep again soon after he left.

It was already 9 a.m. when I woke up. The moment I opened my eyes, I received a phone call from Ashton.

Still lying down, I picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Are you awake?” He sounded like he was in a good mood.

“Yeah.”

“Wake up and let’s have breakfast together. I’ll be waiting for you in the office.”

Stunned, I replied instinctively, “I’m eating at home.”

“Joseph’s waiting for you downstairs,” replied Ashton. When I vaguely heard someone knocking on the door on his end, I guessed that he had something to attend to. As expected, he quickly repeated, “I’ll be waiting for you!”

Then, he hung up.

Lying on the bed, I rested for a while before washing up and heading downstairs. I saw Mrs. Eriksen making a pot of tea, while Joseph sat in the living room solemnly.

When Mrs. Eriksen spotted me, she smiled and said, “Letty, Mr. Ashton asked Mr. Campbell to fetch you for breakfast.”

Mrs. Eriksen had not prepared breakfast yet. It seemed like Ashton had already reminded her beforehand.
