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

Chapter 164

To my surprise, I bumped into Nick, who walked out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around

his torso. I was flabbergasted.

He was bewildered to see us as well.

“What the h*ll?” I exclaimed. “What is with the two of you?” Macy followed up right after.

“N-No! That is not what it looks like! Can you both please hear me out?” Jackson was flustered and

exasperated.

Macy glanced at Nick, then at Jackson. Along with her fingers pointing back and forth, she squinted her

eyes and let out, “Are you sure? This sure looked wrong!”

Jackson stood speechless for a moment. “How could you think of something so absurd?”

DI

I glanced over at Macy and nodded in agreement. “Please restrain your thoughts a little!”

She smacked her lips and exclaimed, “I was just speaking from what we saw before our eyes!”

I looked at Nick in embarrassment. “Y-you!” Nick’s complexion turned pale.

While fuming with anger, he demanded. “Jackson, you’d better clear up this misunderstanding, or I’ll kill

you!”

Jackson felt wronged and explained to us, “I went to the bar last night to party and unexpectedly brought

him back with me.”

“Unexpectedly brought a guy back with you?” Macy’s eyes were wide opened at that point.

“He was drunk and almost got slapped by a lady. I wouldn’t have cared if I didn’t know him.” Jackson

glared at Nick and continued, “You got yourself so drunk that you might’ve been raped by that woman if

not for me!”

Nick frowned and held a finger on his temple, trying to recall what had happened.

“Why didn’t you send me back to my home?” he questioned.

“How would I know your address?” Jackson replied.

It was evident that Jackson was telling us the truth as Nick’s left eye was bruised.

Macy wanted to probe further for gossip. “Nothing else happened? Both of you slept on one bed and

were both drunk!”

“I am straight. Stop spouting nonsense!” Nick exclaimed in frustration.

Macy sighed at the lack of exciting stories. “Hurry up! Let’s head out to grab some food.”

Jackson and Nick both headed into the bathroom together. Macy said mockingly, “He’s straight? Yet,

they are showering together?”

The bathroom was huge. It seemed normal to me that two guys were sharing the shower to save time.

Once again, Macy with her amazing wild thoughts.

I felt a vibration in my pocket. Ashton texted me: Where are you?

I replied: At a Hotel.

He probed: Meeting a friend?

I replied: Yes!

Macy raised her eyebrows and commented, “It seems like Ashton has been keeping a close eye on you.”

“It’s probably because of the baby.”

Ashton sent another text: I‘ve signed you up for a class and sent you the details. Don‘t forget to attend!

I read his text and mentally did a facepalm. I replied: Alright!

I kept my phone and asked Macy, “Are you interested in joining prenatal yoga class?”

“Nope!” She shook her head. “I plan to return to my hometown after Jackson returns to M Country.”

I nodded and didn’t say anything else,

Nick and Jackson were done showering and had changed into their outfits.

Nick looked at me and furrowed his brows “You two know each other?”

“Yup, we were high school classmates!”

“Let’s grab lunch together!” It was just a coincidence. It seemed like Jackson and Nick knew each other

since college.

I was surprised that they knew each other even though Nick was a few years younger than us. I wonder

how they met.

Over at the restaurant.

After lunch, Nick left as he had plans, and Macy left due to an emergency.

Jackson thought for a while and suggested, “Let’s chat at a cafe.” It was hard for me to bring up the topic

of my loss of sexual desire.

It was hard for me to bring up the topic that I was frigid.

I gathered my courage and brought it up. Even though Jackson was usually the joker, he switched to his

professional mode and explained, “It’s likely caused by psychological factors, which would require

Ashton’s help.”

I frowned. “I do not want him to know about this!”

“What are you afraid of? You are the victim here, so stop overthinking! Ashton has the right to know

about this too.” He further exclaimed, “You have a mental barrier, and you’re assuming that Ashton had

slept with Rebecca, which caused your body to withdraw any physical interactions with him.”

I felt a little embarrassed but continued, “B-But I’ve never felt like this before.”

“That was because you trusted that Ashton would not cheat on you no matter how attractive other

women are. However, after you heard those rumors, you started to have doubts. You couldn’t accept the

fact that he was not clean, so your body then reacted by being immune to getting aroused by him.”

“Will this illness disappear if I don’t love him anymore?” After all, I got this illness after getting together

with Ashton.

Jackson furrowed his brows and explained, “It’s hard to say. The only way to know is to try it out with

other guys. You could try to test if you get aroused by other guys.”

I rolled my eyes at him and changed the topic. “When are you returning to M

Country?”

“Probably within these few days. I’ll stay for a few more days to observe your condition to see how long

you can survive!” Jackson teased.
