When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1814 Shopping Spree

I lost all desire to sleep and ended up sitting numbly on the bed until morning rolled by.

Sharing that moment with Ashton had given me a huge boost, and I was able to get off the bed for the first time after I was discharged. At seven o’clock in the morning, I hopped out of bed and went to make breakfast.

I saw Nathaniel walking up the stairs as soon as he got back. He must’ve hurried back down those stairs when he realized that I wasn’t in my room because I saw him walking to the phone immediately after. He stopped punching the numbers into his phone as soon as he saw me leaving the kitchen.

Meeting his gaze, I calmly gestured to the two plates I had with me and asked, “Would you like to have breakfast together?”

The furious expression on Nathaniel’s face faded away and was replaced by warmth and disbelief. He nodded and replied, “Yeah.”

For a moment there, we were so quiet that only the sound of slurping and gulping could be heard. I noticed that Nathaniel was eating slowly, but he would sneak a peek at me every now and then.

That got me to roll my eyes at him and nonchalantly asked, “Will you stop messing with those things?”

“Huh?” He seemed taken aback. It took him some time before he realized what I was talking about, and that stunned him. When he came around, he asked, “Will you accept me if I do as you asked?”

I shrugged and replied, “I don’t know, but at the very least, I’ll hate you less.”

Nathaniel’s expression stiffened. To my surprise, he actually said, “Then I’ll think about it.”
