When There Is Nothing Left But Love

When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 162

I rolled over in bed when I woke up and immediately saw Ashton staring at me. I was stunned for a moment but I asked, “You’re up?”

He raised his eyebrows. “Are you hungry?”

I wasn’t since I had just woken up, so I shook my head in response. I adjusted myself a little but felt extreme pain in my waist and I couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s wrong?”

“My waist hurts.” I don’t know why but I felt like my baby was growing too fast. It had only been six months but my baby bump had grown a lot.

I took a closer look while showering yesterday and noticed some stretch marks on it that were quite unsightly.

Ashton moved his hand to my waist and helped me massage the area. “You should sign up for a prenatal care class and do some yoga. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

I was feeling a little lazy so I shook my head and said, “It’s going to be troublesome to go to the center and come home every day.”

“Then, how about we hire a coach so you can do it at home?”

Thinking that Macy should do it too, I shook my head again. “It’s alright. I’ll think about it later. You should go ahead and do what you need to do. Macy’s free lately so she can accompany me.”

His brows knitted together as he continued to massage my waist area. “Am I your husband, or is she your husband?”

“Of course it’s you!” After getting a massage from him, I felt better so I turned to let him massage the other side. “You have so many things to take care of at the company. I’ll be fine with her accompanying me. Besides, you’re already so busy. You should take some time off and get some rest!”

The corner of his lips tilted upwards into a bright smile as he asked, “Are you worried about me?”

I nodded and said casually, “Being with Macy isn’t so bad anyway.”

“I’ll hand over the company matters to Jared and Joe. Besides, I’ll be taking maternity leave until you’ve given birth.” He ended his sentence with a serious look on his face and he grabbed his phone, about to make a call.

I quickly stopped him. “I’m serious, Ashton. Just go to work as usual. We’d only fight if you’re always by my side anyway. You might as well work and save up some money for the baby.”

We already fought so often even if we only meet in the morning and night. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if we stayed together all the time.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. “When did we fight? It’s only a fight if two of us do it. Does ours really count as a fight? Besides, I’m the CEO of a huge company. Do you think we’ll lack money if I don’t work for a few months?”

Well, he had a point. Apart from some stuff, I was the only one causing trouble every time we fought. He would always let me be.

However, I really didn’t want him to not go to work. After pausing for a moment, I changed the topic and asked, “Didn’t you say we’ll be going to K City a few days ago?”

My belly was getting bigger day by day. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient if we went much later.

He got up and put on his pajamas before saying, “We’ll head there in a few days. We should go there to familiarize ourselves with the environment first. Then, we’ll start the discussion of moving the headquarters after you gave birth.”

There wasn’t really much of the company affairs that I could get involved in. When I saw that he went into the bathroom, I instinctively looked around for my phone, only to realize after a while that I left it at Glenwood Apartments.

I took Ashton’s phone since I was feeling bored and saw that he had set up a password for his phone. I rarely touched his phone before this so after pausing for a moment, I called out in the direction of the bathroom, “What’s your phone’s password, Ashton?”

“Your birthday!” The sound of water in there stopped for a moment and his husky voice was heard.

My birthday? I typed it in unwittingly and it actually worked.

An indescribable feeling bloomed within me in an instant. I might be feeling happy as my mood became a little better. However, I was rendered speechless when I saw the contents on his phone.

Besides the few necessary apps, there wasn’t anything else on the phone, not even the apps to watch short videos to pass time.

I downloaded a social media app and couldn’t help but check his WhatsApp out of curiosity after that.

Just as I expected, he didn’t have many contacts saved, only a little more than fifty. Besides his friends and family, the others were all successful businessmen. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Most of them had names saved. Then, I saw a contact saved as ‘Aunt’ and I unknowingly froze for a moment. Does Ashton have another aunt?

George hadn’t mention her before.

“What are you looking at?” His voice came from behind me. I snapped back to my senses and saw him drying his hair with a towel while he said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go make it for you.”

I answered with an “Anything,” before holding his phone in front of him. “You have another aunt?”

He nodded. “Yeah. She lives in K City. I was planning to bring you to meet her in a few days.”

“Why hadn’t George spoken about her before?” Not only that, but none of the Fullers had also ever mentioned her.

“She left the Fuller family when she was still a teen to study in K City. She rarely comes home too.”

But it still made no sense that the Fullers doesn’t talk about her even if she rarely came home.

I suddenly realized that we hadn’t visited George even though he had passed away for such a long time. I put the phone aside and went to his side. Wrapping my hands around his waist, I looked up to him and suggested, “Ashton, let’s go visit George before we head to K City.”

His hand that was drying his hair froze but he nodded a second later. “Okay.”

Seeing this, I got up with a smile on my face before I held his face and kissed him. “Then, please block your time earlier.”

He was dumbfounded at what I did and I quickly got down from the bed and went to the bathroom.
