When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton carried Summer in his embrace as he tiptoed out of the room. A smile tugged Jackson’s lips upwards, and he tried to stifle his laughter when he saw Ashton’s expression.

If Ashton didn’t always have a cool and stoic demeanor, I suspected that he would have burst out laughing immediately.

I was plagued with a pounding headache and had no desire to meet Cameron.

As I followed Ashton to the car, he carefully placed Summer in the back seat and strapped her in the toddler seat. After that, I made my way to the back of the car.

Jackson and Nick had already moved all of the stuff to the car. Unfortunately, Nick was forced to leave after a quick greeting because he had to hurry to his office.

Ashton started the car and exited Glenwood residential area. “I thought that you didn’t like attending dinner functions?” I asked him while on the journey.

“Didn’t you notice that Nick has been extremely busy lately?” he replied coolly as he pursed his lips.

“Yeah, a little!” I jolted in shock before answering in response to the sudden change of topic.

“Have you figured out the reason for that?” Because of Summer’s presence in the car, his driving pace was slower than usual.

He formed Harrison Credit in part of his interest in the field while sharpening his skills. Seeing as it’s the year-end now, there shouldn’t be any audit assignments. However, he seems really busy. Does he lack money? Or has he bumped into something troublesome?”

“Good analysis!” Ashton said approvingly, “It shows that you’re not that stupid.”

What is he implying?
