Chapter 799
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
I looked at Prism building and asked, âWhat kind of people usually come here?â
Nora thought about it and replied, âTheyâre all ministers. Sometimes, it can be used to receive guests.
However, this is far from the city and not many people come here. Usually, itâs just a few ministers from
Lavelian Village.â
Armondâs appearance was only for a second, so we quickly shook it off. We came to have fun, and so I
continued to take pictures of Nora.
We ended up taking photos and exploring all the places that we could. After that, we returned to the
hotel late at night and fell asleep after quickly washing up.
The next day, Nora lay on the bed and told me, âIâm not planning on going out today. I want to sleep all
I want to pay back my sleep debt.â
I nodded. She came from a rich family and was uninterested in working a normal job. Her father had
invested in multiple companies, and she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life, even if
she never had to work for a single day.
The moment I left the hotel, I received a call from Ashton. His voice was gentle and sweet as he asked,
âAre you awake?â
I smiled and answered, âYes. Iâm going to the base now!â
âHave you had breakfast?â he asked.
âIâm going to grab something to eat on the way!â I replied. The hotel did provide breakfast, but I had
woken up too early.
He murmured a response and said, âRemember to eat a proper meal!â
I could not help but laugh at his remark. âYouâre being too much of a nag, Ashton.â
He was quiet for a few seconds before answering in a deep voice, âI miss you so much, Scarlett.â
Upon that, I was startled for a while and could not help but smile brightly. âI miss you a lot too, Ashton.â
His deep laughter made the rising sun appear even more beautiful.
At that moment, Joseph was already waiting for me at the entrance. I bid goodbye to Ashton on the
phone and went in the car.
Joseph gave me a beautiful box and said, âHave some breakfast, Mrs. Fuller!â
I was astonished and asked, âHow did you know I havenât had breakfast?â
He started up the engine and chuckled. âMr. Fuller gave me a headâs up. Iâm here to take care of your
meals, after all.â
Okay!
As time went on, I realized that true happiness came from the thoughtfulness of others. Being
remembered was the highest form of honor and joy.
When we arrived at the base, Armond was also getting out of his car. I casually greeted him and was
reminded of when I saw him at Prism building the night before.
Hence, I casually asked, âMr. Murphy, were you at the night flea market yesterday?â
His obsidian eyes flashed at me, cold and baleful.
His gaze frightened me, but I spoke confidently, âNora bought a lot of delicious food yesterday. She
couldnât find you in your room, and we thought you went to the night flea market. When she called you,
the tone indicated that you were engaged in another call.â
Hearing that, he frowned slightly, and his gaze softened. He then smiled and replied, âI was busy last
night, thatâs why I wasnât at the hotel.â
I nodded and joked, âWhat a shame. You missed out on all the good food!â
He smiled back at me. âIâll definitely have to seize the chance next time.â
With that, he entered the base without another word. At that moment, Linda had also alighted from the
car, and her dark eyebags were extremely evident. She feebly greeted me, âGood morning!â
I could not help but ask, âOh God, look at you! What happened to you?â
She sighed and lamented, âItâs all because of the project, of course. I didnât sleep the entire night and
am exhausted now.â
I knitted my brow. âYou mean the one for Lavelian Village?â
She yawned and nodded before suddenly catching herself. Then, she shook her head abruptly and
said, âNo, itâs the projects that I was handling previously. Theyâre all in the midst of completion. I have
so much on my plate now that I had to work late!â
I nodded my head. Her reaction was somehow strange, and I could not help but suspect that she was
hiding something from me.
Later on, we walked into the base, and I said to Joseph, âDid Ashton talk to you?â
Joseph nodded. âHe did. Mrs. Fuller, you donât have to interfere. Let me handle everything.â
I nodded and entered.
The first floor of the base had been completely constructed. Rachel wore a hard hat and was directing
the workers at one side.
After Joseph and I entered the base, we did not go to the second floor directly. Instead, we walked
around the site of the accident on the first floor. The broken machinery had apparently been fixed.
Since the broken machinery were fixed, Joseph and I went to the second floor.
The second floor was still under construction. Hence, Joseph and I put on hard hats for safety
purposes.
When Rachel saw us, she glanced at Joseph before saying, âMr. Campbell, it looks like you have many
responsibilities recently. Mr. Fuller had decided to let me lead this project, so Iâd suggest you take a
break and mind your own business!â
