When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Hearing that, I almost choked on my food. That man was deliberately hurting Rachel’s feelings!

Eventually, I managed to swallow the lump of food and suppress the urge to cough. Forcing a smile, I asked through gritted teeth, “Mr. Fuller, don’t you have hands?”

Ashton curled his lips into a smirk, leaving no trace of his usual sobriety. “Well, my hand is occupied.”

As he spoke, he even unabashedly picked up the document that he just put aside, raising his brow at me.

I pursed my lips, rendered speechless. Meanwhile, Rachel could take it no more. She rose to her feet and took leave of Ashton, “Mr. Fuller, I’ll leave the document to you. There’s something I need to take care of, and I’ll be going now.”

Although disappointed, the young lady managed to put up a good front as she left the yard.

Gazing at Ashton, I was utterly speechless. This man must have done it on purpose!

Sometimes, I couldn’t help feeling impressed by Rachel’s high tolerance. Since she stepped foot in the villa, the young lady had been plastering a smile despite receiving such humiliation from Ashton.

I didn’t know a woman could put up with such humiliation just because she loved a man.

Having lost my appetite, I put down my fork. Gazing at Ashton, I spoke up, “Mr. Fuller, if you don’t like her, you should tell her frankly instead of humiliating her. Can’t you show some gentlemanly behavior?”
