In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1239

Right now, I could only try my best to make sure my dreams wouldn’t come true.

Ashton snorted. “Try your best?”

He was obviously angry. I met his gaze and realized he was about to take action. Instinctively, I tried to escape. Before I could leave, Ashton pulled me against him tightly.

When I returned to my senses, I found myself drowning in Ashton’s passionate kiss. Feeling breathless, I patted his hand a few times so he could release me, but the man ignored my silent pleas.

Left with no choice, I made some protesting sounds before Ashton got enough of me and let me go.

“This is your punishment for not trying your best, get it?”

My breathing was uneven as I glared at him furiously.

Ashton gazed at me in amusement. It didn’t seem like he had just scaled the walls just to sneak in earlier.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the crack underneath the door. Someone was here. I immediately placed a hand on Ashton’s thigh, signaling him to be quiet.

Yet, the shadow sensed something was wrong and came to a stop outside my door. As it remained unmoving, it might be eavesdropping on us.

That wasn’t a good sign.

Besides the bed and a coffee table, there wasn’t any other furniture in the room. There was nowhere for Ashton to hide in the toilet, too. If that person outside barged in, Ashton would be discovered at once.

The only choice left was for Ashton to leave now.

We exchanged looks. Ashton’s expression darkened as he made his way to the window. I tiptoed to the door in case the person came in. That way, I would be able to stall him or her.

The door was the only obstacle between us. My heart leaped to my throat as I glanced at the shadow through the crack while keeping an eye on Ashton.

When Ashton was about to climb out of the window, Marcus’ hoarse voice rang out. “Letty, let’s talk. I know you’re still awake.”

Marcus?
