When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“I saw it too. My god, how can someone be so wealthy? When she wanted to swipe a debit card, I thought she is only an ordinary office worker. I never thought…”

“Well, the black cards probably belong to other people because I think the signature on it is Fuller. She’s probably related to someone…”

I couldn’t hear the rest of their conversation after exiting the shop. As I was carrying the stuff, I couldn’t help but heave a sigh.

When I returned to the fast-food restaurant, Ashton and Rachel had left.

I guessed they probably left due to work. Although I felt dejected, I still comforted myself silently that work was more important than accompanying me.

As I didn’t come here by car, I called a cab to return to the villa.

The night had fallen when I finally arrived at home.

Meanwhile, Flora happened to have just finished preparing dinner. Since she had to go home, she talked to me for a while and left.

I decided to check up on Summer first. She already had dinner and was playing with Lego bricks attentively. Upon seeing me, she said, “Mommy!”

The next moment, she continued playing with it.

I didn’t want to disturb her and returned to my bedroom.

Initially, I thought that Ashton wasn’t at home. Once I opened the door, someone said coldly, “Why didn’t you answer my call?”

He seemed to be holding in his anger.
