When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton took a spoonful of soup and looked at Sally calmly. “It’s going to be a hassle.”

“No, it’s not. We’re all going to the Fuller Corporation, anyway.” Sally was getting more and more upset.

Just then, Rebecca, who had been silent for the most part, uttered softly, “Ash, you don’t want to see me, do you?”

He looked at her, nodding solemnly. “Yes.”

Oh my.

Rebecca was hurt by that remark, and I could see her on the verge of tears. She stood up, answering quietly, “I won’t be disturbing you then.”

She was going to go out, but Sally stopped her. “Oh, you child. He’s just joking with you. Don’t leave.” Then, she pulled her back to the table. Sally was the elder in the house, so she glared at Ashton. “Where are you going anyway? Why is it going to be a hassle?”

Annoyed by his aunt’s constant nagging, he put his fork down. “I have some business to attend to.” When he noticed I wasn’t eating much, he frowned. “You don’t like the food?”

I shook my head. “Nope. The taste is fine, it’s just a bit noisy.”

Hearing that, Sally, who was already irked to begin with, blurted, “Scarlett, you’re a part of the Fullers. What did you mean by that? Can’t I stay over for a few days? I’m in my nadir here. Are you going to chase me away? I’m Ashton’s aunt!”
