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

Chapter 445

The moment I gave Aston a call, it was picked up almost instantly. The man on the other end of the line asked, “Are you busy?”

I stuffed the clothes we had changed out of into the washing machine. After all, the cemetery was built on a hill and there were muddy stains on our clothes.

“I brought Summer out for a walk with me.” Halfway through the call, I heard noises coming from the bedroom.

Thus, I walked over to check on Summer because she seemed to have roused from her sleep.

“Do you have anything on your schedule in the afternoon?” Ashton asked.

“Perhaps I’ll take a stroll around.” Summer was indeed awake. She sat on the bed, playing with the lamp on the nightstand.

When she saw me, she called out, “Mommy, I’m hungry!”

I nodded and told Ashton, “I need to make Summer something to eat. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Sure,” he replied in a gentle tone.

After hanging up the call, someone rang the doorbell. I thought it was the food I had ordered, but I saw Jackson the moment I opened the door.

He showed up with a bunch of different things. As it took me some time to answer the door, he asked, “Were you sleeping?”

“No. Why are you here when you’re supposed to be working?”

He brought the things he had into the kitchen and heaved a long sigh. “How am I supposed to work when I know there’s nothing in your refrigerator? I can’t possibly allow you and the child to starve, can I?”

He was spot on because Summer had wrapped her arms around his leg, stating she was hungry.
