When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton was just picking her up at the airport, and it’s not like I never knew that he still cared about her all along. So why am I upset about this?

Ten minutes had passed.

Ashton appeared again in the lounge and jogged over to where I was. He sat down next to me and tugged on my arm. “Don’t think too much into it. Something happened this morning so Joe couldn’t make it.”

I nodded and forced a smile. “You don’t have to explain.”

Indeed, there was no need to make a fuss over something like this. I was probably being a tad bit sensitive these days.

Macy showed up after a while, dragging a huge suitcase with her. She was stunned for a second at the sight of Ashton together with me. “What’s this… Are you both here to flaunt your love with your show of PDA?”

I simply flashed her a smile in response. Ashton took over her luggage as we walked. Clinging onto my arm, Macy patted my belly. “It’s gotten bigger. It’s almost six months already, huh?”

Hearing that, I glanced at her slightly bulging belly. Because she was wearing loose-fitting clothes, I wouldn’t be able to tell that she had a baby growing inside her belly as well if I hadn’t known beforehand that she was pregnant.

I smiled and asked, “Why did you come back all of a sudden?” I had thought that Macy was going to stay in her hometown until the baby was born.

“Well… Jackson’s coming to J City too, right? It’s been a long time since I last saw him. I’m starting to miss him a little,” she said. Her complexion looked good that day.

She glanced at Ashton who had been walking in front of us before whispering in my ear, “I’m assuming things are better between you and him now?”

I shrugged. “Who knows. Rebecca just returned today as well.”

“What!” Macy frowned in frustration. “That woman is such a pain! Hasn’t she already found her place in K City as a noble lady of the Moore family? Why does she feel the need to come back and cause trouble again?”
