In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1093

The news was a bolt from the blue. Rejoicing, I held on to his arms tightly. “Really? You’re amazing, Ashton. In this case, Fuller Corporation won’t be implicated in Armond’s crime, and neither will this affect Aunt Sally and Uncle Jim.

“Oh, by the way, Aunt Sally is three months pregnant. Help them out wherever you can. She also suggested for all of us to return to J City along with Uncle Charlie and Aunt Helen during the new year.”

He nodded and planted a kiss on my forehead. “Why are you beaming with joy when Aunt Sally and Jim are the ones getting married? Silly girl!”

I chuckled loudly. “I don’t know why, either. I just feel over the moon. Aunt Sally has been living all by herself over the years. Now that she’s met her Mr. Right, it’s something worth celebrating. In addition, she’s got a baby. These are all wonderful news.”

Ashton let out a thin smile and looked at me. “Do you want another child?”

His question startled me, then I parroted him, “Can we have another child?”

He smirked. “As long as you want one, we’ll have it at all cost, regardless of the method. Scarlett, it’s been a roller coaster ride for us to be where we are now with each other. Have no regrets. Whatever you want to do, just tell me, and I’ll do my very best to make it happen, okay?”

A warm, fuzzy feeling evoked in me as soon as he said that.

I thought about what Sally said and elicited his response, “Ashton, Aunt Sally suggests for us to try in vitro fertilization. You…”

He nodded and agreed immediately as if he was expecting this. “I’ll contact a well-known expert in the country and consult him about this. Just leave this to me.”

I thought he would turn down the idea, but he agreed right away, which made me quite astounded.

My phone rang that instant; it was Nora. Her voice was low, and she sounded dejected. After a long pause, she said, “Scarlett, I’m leaving for A City today. I wanted to leave quietly but decided to give you a call in the end. I’m still wearing the bracelet. About the child, I regret it so much, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I once felt that as long as I kept deceiving myself with positive thoughts, you wouldn’t be mad at me. However, I realized that I was wrong. I’m defeated by my guilty conscience. I don’t have that peace within me. So, I called to apologize. I’m sorry, and I know that my words mean nothing to you, but I must do it in order to get through this ordeal. I also want to plead on Armond’s behalf, so please have mercy on him, if possible.”

Clenching on my phone, I could not help but feel miserable for her. I was lost for words. Moments later, I asked, “Where are you right now?”

“Airport.”
