In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1036

It’s John!

I was not surprised to see him, but I was not expecting to see him either.

His luxurious car was especially conspicuous. I walked to the car, raised my hand, and tapped on the window. Not long after, the window lowered.

He seemed to have lost some weight since we last met, and there were dark circles under his tired eyes.

“Don’t you want to go in?” I asked as I studied his pale face.

He shook his head and pressed his lips together. Then he asked, “Does he love her very much?”

I shrugged and said, “They’re perfect for each other. By the way, Uncle Louis is here too. I saw him go in together with Kiki. Why don’t you go in? You’re practically part of her family now.”

He looked uncomfortable as he stared at the door. “I’d better not go in. She looks beautiful. Please convey my message to her, and I wish her well. I blew my chance with her, and if we were to meet again…”

“I don’t think she ever wants to see you again. You blew it, and there’s no point crying over spilled milk now. You’re my brother, and I do wish that you will live a happy life. If you really want to settle down and have a family, you’ll have to find the right partner. Yvonne is not the right one for you. It has nothing to do with her family background. If you think that you can’t heed my advice, then I’ll suggest you consult Uncle Louis about her. The answer is deep in your heart.”

Having said that, I walked off with the phone in my hand. I wasn’t going to stick around and chat with him. I had to get back inside to resume my role as the bridesmaid and join in with the toast.

Back in the living hall, I handed the phone to Hannah and went to stand next to Ashton. He looked at me and asked, “Saw someone you know?”

I was taken aback and nodded. “John’s outside.”

Just then, the master of ceremonies announced the commencement of the tea ceremony for the bride and groom to pay their respects and show their gratitude towards their parents.
