When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Unsurprisingly, Rebecca was there, was crying and complaining as if someone had died.

“Ash, Scarlett broke all the vases you bought for me and even called the cops on me. How could she do that? She’s plain evil!” she grumbled angrily.

“That woman has no limits, Ash. Do you really want to stay with her for the rest of your life for the sake of a child?”

Those mean remarks came straight out of Joe, the woman’s assistant’s mouth.

Instead of eavesdropping like a creep, I thought I should be the bigger person.

The moment I opened the door, the ward was instantly filled with an awkward silence. I could see a towering rage blazing in Rebecca’s eyes when she saw me.

I took out the mushroom soup and buns and put them next to him. “Mrs. Eriksen prepared this. What do you want to eat?”

“Soup!” I nodded while folding the bag before putting it away.

When I turned around, I realized that he was staring at me. He had not touched the mushroom soup at all.
