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.”
