When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Only Ashton and I were left in the base; our eyes aligned. He frowned and queried, “Was that necessary?”

I was rather perplexed. “What do you mean?”

He pursed his lips. “Do you think that you can simply just get someone to push me away?”

I pondered for a while before asking, “Then I’ll be more cautious in selecting a suitable candidate for you.”

“Scarlett!” He was infuriated. “What do you take me for?”

Peeved, I tore his hand apart from mine. “Ashton, it’s been so long. I’ve said all that is needed to be said. What’s missing now is just the divorce certificate. Honestly, I really don’t care who you end up with; it’s none of my business. Thus, there’s no reason for me to set you up with any woman!”

Glaring at his angry face, I finished what I wanted to say all in one breath. “Whatever happens between you and Rachel or any woman is none of my business. We could get the divorce certificate now if you so wish. You told me yourself that you’re willing to let me go if I really couldn’t accept it. Since that’s the case, then there’s really nothing between you and me anymore. With that said, I hope you will know your boundaries.”

After that, I immediately left the base. Leedon, who was getting ready to head to the scenic spot, saw me coming out of the base. “Ms. Stovall, do you want to go to the scenic spot? Let’s go together,” he suggested.

I walked up to him and replied, “Okay, thank you.”
