When There Is Nothing Left But Love

He had the call on speaker. Joe took a few seconds before he replied in an aggravated manner, “Ashton, what else could I possibly say to her? She lashed out and scolded me earlier. Don’t tell me you’re calling me to yell at me too?”

Ashton let out a cough and said in a deep voice, “It is understandable for her to scold you. I was even beaten up because of you. Find an opportunity to apologize to her.”

Joe frowned. “What for? I didn’t even provoke her. Why should I apologize?”

“If you don’t apologize, I will have to sleep in the guest room. Do you think you should apologize now?” Upon hearing Ashton’s words, I became speechless instantly. It sounded as if I had mistreated him.

Joe paused for a while then said, “Ashton, you… Are you in love?”

Without any hesitation, Ashton nodded. “Yes, she is my wife.”

“Alright, I’ll set a time and invite Jared as well. Let’s have a meal and I’ll apologize to… your missus!”

“Yes!” Ashton hung up right after.

I hid under the blanket and couldn’t see what he was doing. A few seconds later, he turned off the lights and plopped onto the bed.

He tugged the blanket a few times. “Scarlett, it’s winter now. K City’s way colder than J City. If you don’t share the blanket with me, you might need to help me dial for an ambulance tomorrow morning.”

Soon, he stopped tugging and lay quietly next to me.
