When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I nodded and took the lobsters from him. Then I ushered him to take a seat.

This was their first official meeting, though both Ashton and Colin had met each other before. They were about the same age.

After shaking hands and exchanging smiles, they sat down and talked about the economy.

Ashton turned to me with a smile. “You have alcohol at home?”

I nodded. “Is wine okay?” We had too many grapes, so I used some and made them into wine.

He chuckled. “Sure. It’s impolite not to serve our guest with a bottle of wine.”

Colin was rather stunned by his statement.

I laughed. After getting the wine, I went back to the living room and found the two chit-chatting away harmoniously. Their topic seemed to be revolving around me.

I took my seat. Colin said, “I’ve known you for so long but never knew you can’t consume shrimps.”

I cast a look at Ashton, who was uncorking wine collectedly.

Transferring my gaze from him to Colin, I clarified, “Not exactly. Summer likes it, so I eat it too sometimes.”

I developed a condition during postpartum. Having seafood sometimes makes me sick, so I try to avoid it whenever I can. However, it doesn’t mean that I can’t eat it totally.

Colin curled his lips upward. Ashton poured him a glass. “Thank you for taking care of Scarlett all these years.”
