When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Darkness shadowed Ashton’s eyes. He stood by the bed with a deadpan expression for a minute before turning and walking toward Gregory and me.

“Go home,” he said nonchalantly. His voice was devoid of any emotions as though the cruel scene before had never occurred.

I lifted my hand and patted Gregory’s shoulder after glancing around the room.

As he left the room, I followed him with Ashton close behind. He didn’t even look back as he left.

Once I was seated in the car, I asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about Tiffany wanting to abduct Gregory?”

His gaze was focused on the road ahead of him as he answered, “I have nipped that in the bud, and I didn’t want you to worry. But it’s not too late to know now.”

It was his habit to immediately solve a problem instead of discussing it with others.

Gregory was lucky to come out unharmed, but he might not be as lucky next time. “I hope you can discuss with me when you encounter a problem and we can make a decision together. Now that everything has settled down, the Stovall family is no longer what they used to be. You need to change your habit of carrying all the burdens yourself.”
