When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I could not help myself but smile at what he did. I agreed with Emery’s advice that we should follow our hearts if it could make us happy.

Failing to suppress my delight, I placed some roasted vegetables onto Ashton’s plate and instructed in a coy manner, “You need to eat more too!”

I distributed it to everyone else while Cameron and Zachary smiled at each other and looked at me with warm gazes.

It was the perfect time with loved ones. It had been a long time since our hearts were that full.

It was the only festive season with fireworks display in the bustling K City.

That made new year’s eve even more special. “I’m going to make a wish at the fireworks later,” Emery exclaimed while she lifted her head to gaze at the snow falling.

Hunter pulled Emery into his embrace and inquired with a light chuckle, “What are you going to wish for?”

After giving it some thought, Emery replied, “I wish for our baby to be born with great health.”

Both of them exchanged sweet gazes and smiled.

I turned to spot Ashton looking at me, so I asked him, “Are you going to make a wish?”
