When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Plans were bound to break when changes occurred. After Charlie and Helen saw through us and our intention, they packed up and left the house early in the morning. When Ashton and I headed downstairs in search of them, they were nowhere to be found.

“As the saying goes, you can’t wake a person who’s pretending to be asleep. It’s going to be hard to make them spill the beans.” I sighed.

Ashton stared blankly at the door for a few seconds before taking his phone out to dial Charlie’s number.

The call rang for a while before it got through.

Charlie immediately stated, “Hi, Ashton. I forgot to tell you that we’re going on a trip today. We’ve planned this trip for a long time. Feel free to stay at the house for a couple more days and take your time to pack before…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ashton cut him off, “Uncle Charlie, I won’t force you to say anything if you’re not willing to tell me the truth, but I don’t want to be kept in the dark anymore. I promise I won’t bother you again after you tell me all the things I have the right to know.”

After a brief silence, Charlie replied, “Meet me at the café opposite Fuller Corporation.”

Ashton and I arrived at the café an hour later, nine o’clock sharp.

Soon we ordered our coffee, we sat down at a table by the window, waiting for Charlie and Helen to arrive.

About half an hour later, a deafening screech of tires suddenly came from the road outside, masking the relaxing music in the café.
