When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 168

Chapter 168

He smirked and stated, “Fundamentals of computer science don’t really allow you to detect hostile infiltration of the system through a glance.”

I wanted to say something to defend myself, yet he got ahead of me and asked after he put the agreements aside, “Are you hungry?”

“Yes!”

“What do you want to have for late-night supper? I’ll make you something to eat!” After he offered to prepare me a meal, he got up from his seat and switched off his computer.

I didn’t have cravings for anything in particular. Hence, I told him that anything would do.

We walked downstairs, but he was the one who had entered the kitchen, whereas I slouched against the couch in the living room. I couldn’t help but wonder about the goals of the hackers who were behind the incident. There were only a mere few who possessed such capabilities to infiltrate another company’s system without being exposed.

I had a hard time comprehending the hacker’s true intention of infiltrating Fuller Corporation’s system; nevertheless, the only person who crossed my mind was John.

He was a prodigy in the field of information technology, but that was a fact that was merely made known to a mere few.

All of a sudden, Ashton yelled and invited me over. “Hey! What’s bothering you again? The meal is ready. Come over and join me.”

I decided to cast my thoughts aside for the time being as I walked to the dining hall. Initially, I thought that he would merely prepare some simple dishes that could be easily whipped out within a few minutes, but I was astonished once I saw the feast on the table because he had prepared a complete meal for both of us.

Since we were way past the ordinary mealtime, I didn’t expect him to cook up a feast in the middle of the night.

Handing my cutleries to me, he was quick to serve the dishes as he offered, “You should hurry up and finish the meal. Mrs. Eriksen will drop by to get our breakfast ready in the morning. Let’s have our breakfast before we drop by the cemetery.”

If he hadn’t brought it up in front of me, I would have forgotten about the agenda i had suggested a few hours ago. I nodded and affirmed, “Okay!” I had a few mouthfuls of the food he prepared, yet that was it because I wasn’t in the mood to eat anymore

He asked with a sullen look since I stopped savoring the dishes he had prepared, “What’s wrong? Do you not like the food?”

I shook my head and rebutted, “No, but I’m not really hungry anymore…”

He stopped insisting on me finishing the meal since I seemed to be at my limits.

After we had our meal, we returned to the bedroom.

As I had been sleeping over the past few hours, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep anymore. After Ashton took his shower and walked out of the bathroom, he noticed that I was wide awake at two o’clock in the morning, staring at the ceiling while lying on the bed idly.

Looking at his disapproving expression, I was certain that he was irritated again. A few seconds later, he told me, “You’ll have to adapt to a normal lifestyle within these next few days. Apart from an afternoon nap, you’re not allowed to sleep anymore in the upcoming few days.”

I pouted my lips and beckoned for him to get his phone. “Rebecca called earlier. I think she that has something urgent to tell you.”

After that, I returned to our bed and tucked myself in, closing my eyes in an attempt to lull myself to sleep.

He chuckled as he cast his phone aside, lying beside me after he wiped his hair dry. Ashton placed his head on my tummy in an attempt to detect our child’s fetal movement. There wasn’t any obvious fetal movement since our child was merely six months old. In spite of that, Ashton insisted on spending time with our child.

I grew irritated as I grasped his shirt, telling him, “Hey! You’re getting in the way of my sleep!”

He took a peek at me and moved over to my side, placing my head on his arm as he told me, “I have bought our tickets to K City. We’ll depart in two days’ time. Before departing, let’s drop by the hospital for one last prenatal care. Perhaps the baby will join us soon when we’re at K City.”
