When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton chuckled softly, obviously delighted by my subtle expression of jealousy. While I wasn’t paying attention, he swiftly dropped a kiss on my ear, then let me go and backed away.

My cheeks burned all of a sudden and I quickly reached up to cover my face with both hands. Seeing the gleeful look on Ashton’s face, I shot him a dirty stare and snapped, “Don’t laugh!”

Technically, we’re still not on speaking terms!

The corners of Ashton’s mouth quirked up slightly, but it vanished quickly and he returned to being serious. “I have to constantly be on my guard in front of outsiders and it’s really exhausting. Do I have to suppress my feelings in front of my wife too?”

I adjusted the shawl around my shoulders and gave him a flat stare. “Is there a difference? I mean, you’re an ace when it comes to keeping secrets after all, Mr. Fuller. I’m sure one more won’t make much of difference.”

Ashton’s brows furrowed. “Are you still mad about the matter regarding Jared?”

I curved my lips into a smile and moved to the sink to touch up my makeup. “I think you should really keep an eye on your buddy. That talk about a paternity test makes it seem like he’s prepared to sue me for custody.”

Ashton had a resigned look on his face when he heard that. “Jared explained to me about all of this. He never expected that you’d find out so soon. The night his identity was found out, he saw the school transfer application and knew that you were trying to prevent him from seeing Summer. He panicked. That’s why he used the stupidest method there is to stop that. In fact, he isn’t aware of this, but I’m sure you are. Since he has a history of harming his child, he’ll never be able to regain custody.”
