When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Just as I was about to get up, he grabbed my arm and said sternly, “Joseph will send you back once you finish the meal.”

Resting my head on the table, I pouted and stared at Ashton with puppy eyes. “Ashton… Do you see me as your pet?”

Raising a brow, he pushed the fruit juice that just got served toward me and said fondly, “Who would want such a naughty pet?”

I kept quiet and looked out through the window. As I watched the crowds of people walk by, a sense of warmth and satisfaction slowly swelled within my heart.

How nice is it, to have three meals a day? To have him and the baby. To experience the good times and bad times together.

Maybe I should just focus on this and ignore everything else!

After having the meal, I could not help but think that Ashton was feeding me like a pig again. If not for the phone call he suddenly received, I reckoned he would have fed me till I vomited.

After ending the call, he turned to me and asked, “Is there anything else you want to eat?”

I shook my head and put my hands on my bloated stomach. “I’m feeling full to bursting!” I protested.

Chuckling, he said, “Joseph will come to pick you up in a bit. I have a meeting at the company soon. Don’t run around too much and rest well at home, okay?”

I nodded.

When Joseph finally arrived, I was just about to leave the restaurant. Instead of getting in the car, I told him that it was fine to leave me alone and return to the office. “I ate too much. I’m going for a walk,” I said.
