When There Is Nothing Left But Love

My unannounced appearance stunned Shane. Just when he was on the verge of losing his cool, he saw Ashton behind me and he got on his knees immediately. “Mrs. Fuller, you’re right. I’m at fault. I will never do it again!”

I doubted him. After all, a leopard would never change its spots. I watched his girlfriend’s face closely. Somehow, I pitied her. I couldn’t believe she would fall for a guy like him.

“Break up with him. He does not deserve you,” I said to her.

I knew that no matter what I said, it would be useless. Despite that, I had to say something. That woman looked at me, puzzled. There was no longer any trace of the alluring expression that she wore earlier. Rather, she looked miserable and pale. “Thanks,” she muttered after a while.

I shook my head nonchalantly. “No, I just can’t bear to see this jerk raised his hand on you.”

Ashton pursed his lips. “Let’s go.” I stood up and followed him. After a distance away, I took another glance at her. Then, with a heavy sigh, I made my way down the stairs.

“Not everyone walks the same path. Everyone is different. You can’t control it,” he said with a warm smile as he held my hand.

I turned to him. “Are you trying to say that I shouldn’t be a busybody?” I said, with a little pout.

He responded with a gentle grin before he rubbed his nose and said, “You are overthinking it.”
