When There Is Nothing Left But Love

He fixed me with an intense gaze. He remained silent for quite a long while before he nodded. “Alright. But don’t leave me suffering alone for too long.”

Suffering? He just said it was suffering instead of waiting. I guess it must be tormenting to him to keep waiting for me.

I simply stared at him blankly. In the few days that I had not seen him, I could see his eyes were now filled with sorrow and loneliness. Moreover, he was acting like a misanthrope, looking haggard and lonesome.

My heart ached to see him like that. Instinctively, I reached out my hands and stroke the spot between his brows. I muttered, “Are you feeling tired recently?”

He held my hands, his gaze softening. “It’s normal.”

Just then, I realized that I had never truly cared for him before. I leaned into his arms and hugged him. I asked, “Ashton, do you think I’m failing as a wife?”

He brushed the hair off my forehead gently. Feeling a little surprised to hear my question, he said, “Why do you keep denying and doubting yourself? Scarlett, this is all just part of our growth. We’re slowly helping each other grow.”

I nodded and leaned against his chest. Listening to the sound of his heartbeat, I asked, “Do you want to stay in Moore Residence for the time being? The Lavelian Village project is not completed yet. So, I will still have to go back there after Independence Day. I knew there’s a lot of things you need to deal with in Fuller Corporation. I can’t help you much, but at least I can give you a massage when you get home at night. Besides, my mom can also cook delicious food for you. What do you think?”

He held me up from his arms. He then cupped my face and smiled gently. “So, does that mean I am marrying into the Moore family?”
