When There Is Nothing Left But Love

The sun was at its highest point, and the temperature hit the highest of the day. When Ashton was back, I was sitting on the couch in the living room, sweating profusely while staring blankly into space.

Upon noticing the perspiration covering my forehead, he raised his voice to reproach me, “Are you planning to die from heatstroke, killing the baby as well?”

I shoot him an indifferent glance while remaining silent. Then, ignoring his presence, I went back to the bedroom to get some rest. I was not in the mood to talk with him, knowing very well that we would end up getting into an argument.

He entered the bedroom after me. After looking around for some time, he found a white smock dress and tossed it to me. “Get yourself changed! We’re going out right now.”

I was feeling exhausted, so I gave him the brush-off. “I don’t want to.”

He said as a matter of fact, “Today is Benjamin’s birthday, and they are having a small family gathering. Aunt Sally called just now to invite us over for dinner.”

Although he didn’t put pressure on me, it would be too unthoughtful of me if I absented myself from Benjamin’s birthday. Letting out a sigh, I changed into the dress and then put on light makeup.

In the car, Ashton gave me a sidelong glance before he asked, “What did Ms. Anderson say to you?”

I was slightly bewildered but immediately understood that either the bodyguards or the doctors must have informed him that someone had paid a visit to the villa.
