When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 490

Gazing at Hannah's slightly bulging belly, I could not help but feel a little troubled. This child shouldcome into the world honorably.

There was a sound advancing from the door. It was Nick, who was accompanied by a truly stunningyoung woman. The woman's beauty hit a nerve to others with such a flawless face.

By the looks of it, it should be an employee-employer relationship between them. The moment theywalked in, Nick greeted everyone.

He spoke faintly, “I just came from the office. You guys won't mind that I bring an assistant, right?”Everyone laughed, as naturally, nobody would.

After sitting down, Nick turned to me. “Scarlett, it's been a long time since I saw you.” His wordssounded solemn.

Seeing him holding a wine glass in his hand, I couldn't help but become as serious as him.

He continued to speak, “Mother handed everything from the Harrisons to me. Four years havepassed since you left. You should go to the Moore Residence to visit her if you have time. After all,you are not the only one who was affected by this; she has suffered a lot more than you think.”

I pursed my lips and could not help lowering my head. Humans are complicated creatures, andforgiveness is easier to be said than done.

I could understand everything she did, but there was no way to act as if nothing happened.

At one side, Emery was frowning. She probably thought it was inappropriate for Nick to say suchthings on this occasion. Hence, she raised her glass and touched his. “Well, today, everyone is hereto have fun. Let's eat more food and chat about something interesting. Cheers!”

She swallowed the wine in the glass haughtily. Just then, Hunter thoughtfully put some fresh foodon her plate. “Come on. Drink less and eat more!”

At that, Emery giggled playfully. Although she was usually bold, she appeared so gentle next to theperson she adored.

Her giggle reminded me of Macy; she had such a bold and straightforward personality too.

While reminiscing the past, a feeling of distress started to engulf me. I bowed my head down,feeling a little depressed.

Ashton held my hand tightly and gazed softly into my eyes. “Eat more and gain some more weight.”He instructed in his gentle voice.

At that moment, he had already loaded my plate with various dishes. Obviously, he expected me toconsume them all.

I looked up at him and beamed.

Everyone here was close with each other. No one was bothered by Nick's episode. They continuedto chat about all the exciting things they encountered in life and work.

Even Hannah, who was not usually chatty, opened up. “When I went for a maternity check a fewdays ago, an old lady around sixty stood in line with me. I thought she was lining up for herdaughter-in-law until I went into the B-ultrasound room with her. It was then I discovered she waspregnant for six months... with twins!”

I was stunned and curious. “This is considered pregnancy at an advanced maternal age. Isn't itdangerous to give birth at such an age?”

She grinned. “Of course there are some risks, but I heard that her husband insisted. Their son had anaccident two years ago and left. So the twins were a surprise gift for the old couple.”

I nodded while sighing inwardly. We might see the faults in people and situations, but ultimately,one would have to decide how to view their own life.

After sitting for a long time, Hannah, as a pregnant lady, had to get up and take a walk. I reachedout to help her up. On the other hand, John seemed to be busy with his phone.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but reminded him. “John, you should take Ms. Anne to have a walk.”“It's alright!” Hannah said with a polite smile. “I can go by myself.”

She got up and paced outside alone. Meanwhile, John did not show a single sign of care.

No matter how people looked at it, it looked ridiculous. I pursed my lips, feeling frustrated, but itwas not my place to say anything.

Thus, I walked out too. In her third trimester, her belly did not seem particularly obvious. It might bedue to her loose clothing, which made it appeared a little undersized

Noticing that I had come out, she was a little shocked. “It's fine. I'll just walk around here. I'll go in awhile.”

The corridor of the restaurant was not so spacious. Besides, I did not have much appetite anymore,so I suggested, “Let me walk you down. There is a large garden with flowers behind this restaurant.Though it might not be the season to look at flowers, it wouldn't hurt to take a stroll there.”Without much hesitation, she went downstairs with me.

“Scarlett, don't you and Mr. Fuller plan to have another baby?" She asked as we were walkingtogether. I knew it was inevitable to touch on family affairs while we were having a walk.

"When we adopted Summer, we decided only to have one child. If we have another child, we won'tbe able to focus that much on Summer, and we're afraid that it would upset her.”

She frowned, a little puzzled. “Why would that be? If you have another child, Summer will be fiveyears old by then. Wouldn't it be better to have a sister or a brother for her? She had all the loveand care from her parents until she was three years old. A little kid won't have that many concerns.”After a pause, she continued, “Moreover, you have to think about it for Mr. Fuller and yourself. IfSummer really goes back to the Crest family one day, it won't be easy for you to have another babysince both of you won't be as young anymore. Now is the time to have a baby! Although Summer isstill young, I think she will understand.”
