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

Chapter 199

Chapter 199

Hearing his flighty remarks, my face darkened in an instant. “I’m thankful that you don’t mind being my baby’s stepfather, but you’re too good for a woman like me, as you’ve said, who doesn’t treat their marriage seriously,” I riposted, glaring at him.

I shouldn’t waste my time on him. This man is way too unpredictable.

With that, I walked past him out of the pavilion and then briskly walked along the pond, heading toward the house.

I was annoyed when I heard his footsteps getting closer.

My anger was aroused the moment he laid his hand on my shoulder. Without a second thought, I turned around and shoved him away.

As a result of being caught off guard by the sudden force, he fell into the pond with a thud.

The yard light was the only illumination in the pitch-dark night. I tried to take a closer look, but I saw nothing but water ripples in the lake. I hit the panic button when it hit me that he was drowning. “Help! Someone is drowning!”

Then, I leaned on the edge of the pond, calling out his name. However, I received no response. Since I had no idea of the depth bf the lake, thinking that he was drowned, I got too frightened that I broke into tears. “Somebody, help! Help!”

I was in a daze the whole while when he climbed out of the lake with his clothes soaking wet.

Looking at his composed manner, I realized he had frightened me on purpose. My chest heaved heavily while I was quivering in anger.
