When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“It’s too early to go to bed now. Let’s go out for a bit.” Ashton said before putting down the bowl.

I glanced at the clock and saw that it was eight o’clock. Sure, it’s still quite early, but…

I stood up and said, “But it’s still raining!”

“We’ll go when the rain stops.” He was really stubborn about his plans. After putting the bowl down, he dragged me along to sit on the sofa.

After a brief moment, he said, “I think you should start going for walks and stuff. Pregnant women need adequate exercise too, you know? Slow walks that last for about an hour or two should be sufficient.”

I blinked. Where is he learning all this information from? It was then that I noticed the title of the book that he was reading earlier was named ”The Shears’ Pregnancy Encyclopedia.”

Huh?

So that’s the book that he was so immersed in?

As his gaze fell upon my surprised expression, he coughed and said, “Let’s go out for walks every day from now on.”

I nodded. “What other books did you buy?”

He paused for a moment before replying, “Just the ones that Jared recommended me. And look, the rain has stopped. Go and put on something warm.”

“Do I really need to go?” I whined.

He nodded at me, his gaze firm. “I’ll wait for you here.”

Gosh. It seems like I won’t be able to refuse him. After getting a jacket upstairs, I left the villa with him. The villas were spaced out wide apart in the villa estate to allow for sufficient green space in between.
