When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton gazed at me and scowled unhappily.

I parted my lips, but I didn’t know where to start.

It would be a bad idea to talk right now.

I wasn’t about to change my mind. Seeing my reaction, Ashton gave a self-deprecating laugh. “Ha!”

Shortly after, he schooled his expression carefully and commanded, “Move out of their way! Let her get what she wants!”

“Ashton, do you know what you’re doing?” John refused to take the risk. Without his approval, his subordinates didn’t budge at all.

“Joseph!” Ashton raised his hand. Upon receiving his order, Joseph left and soon returned with his men.

The men came in and scattered around John’s men. As Ashton’s men outnumbered John’s men, they soon parted to give us a way out.

It was nighttime by now. The night breeze sent a chill down my spine. When I looked up and met Ashton’s gaze, I promptly froze.

The bodyguard was smart enough to lead me through the crowd. John wanted to come after us, but Ashton stopped him in time.
