When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Zachary was a businessman, and profits always came first in his world. After he heard what I said, he placed a gold card in front of me. “Ms. Stovall, you don’t have to worry about your child’s future. The money I have here is enough for you to purchase a suite in K City. Whatever you need down the road, name it, and I’ll help you.”

I smiled faintly. Wow, they’re certainly all in on this!

I grinned as I examined the gold card on the table. The whole thing was rather absurd. “How terrible it must have been to suffer the loss of a daughter for twenty years. I suppose it must be painful for Ms. Larson as well, spending her early years without her parents. You two have gone through this, and it’s certainly not what I want my child to experience. I believe my child would prefer staying with his parents over swimming in luxury.”

After a pause, I went on, “In addition, the Fuller Corporation’s current financial entitlements may be insufficient compared to what you have, but this doesn’t mean that it will stay that way. You admire Ashton, so you must know that his future is quite promising. If that’s the case, I don’t have to seek farther for what I want.”

Cameron and Zachary exchanged glances, feeling rather embarrassed.

I shrugged as the coffee was served. “I admire the love you have for your children. And perhaps I’m envious too. But that’s all there is. Ms. Larson is lucky to have such supportive parents, but I want to secure a better future for my child as well.”

Cameron let out a loose sigh and said, “Zachary and I haven’t thought this through. Please, Ms. Stovall, don’t take this to heart. As parents, it’s easy to lose our sense of propriety for the sake of our children.”

I nodded, “Yes, of course!”

I have said everything that should be said. I supposed there was nothing more for me to add that would not be a waste of breath.
