When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1784 Incoming Death

“Nathaniel’s anxious about you. You’ll be fine.” Ashton lowered his eyes and avoided my gaze.

A fresh swell of hot tears brimmed in my eyes, and I laughed bitterly. “That’s right. He’s about to fall in love with me. A man as smart as you is slowly creeping into my life. What do you feel about that?”

“If I were you, I’d be happy. At the very least, this shows that you’re currently safe.” Ashton’s tone was still as flat as ever, so I could not decipher what he was feeling at that moment.

Perhaps what he wanted to say was that all was fine as long as I was safe, but I was greedy—I wanted to hear something else other than that. “But you’re not me. Otherwise, you’d know that the words I want to hear aren’t these.”

Ashton then glanced, almost unnoticeably, in the direction of the doorway. Despite how cautious he was, I noticed his action and informed him, “Millie’s guarding the room outside. No one’s going to come in. We’ll be alone here.”

I was telling him that we were in a safe spot, so he did not need to worry about Nathaniel’s sudden appearance or him abruptly realizing something amiss.

However, Ashton was determined to play safe. “If I can say things that nice to your ears, we wouldn’t be divorcing each other and fighting over the assets,” he said, cold and ruthless.
