In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1276

Astonished, I stared at Ashton with widened eyes. I felt as if I just knew him today. Since when did he learn a new language?

It was only then that Zander noticed Ashton’s hostility. His hand froze in the air for half a minute before he withdrew it in silence. He appeared embarrassed when he spoke again. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I just feel that Scarlett has the potential to become an excellent lawyer. Tinsel Group is my father’s blood, sweat, and tears, so I yearn to recruit more talents. I sincerely hope that Scarlett can work with me to uphold my father’s legacy.”

This reason didn’t sound valid to me.

Judging from how well he could speak our language, he knew our culture deeply, but he didn’t understand what Ashton meant. Hence, I wasn’t convinced when he said that he meant no harm, even though he often tried to cozy up to me.

Meanwhile, Ashton was showing his aversion to Zander brazenly.

Lifting the tickets in his hand, he tore them right in front of Zander and threw the pieces onto the ground. Right after that, he took out a checkbook, scribbled on it, and tore it off the book. Marching over to Zander, he slipped the cheque into the pocket of the man’s shirt and patted it.

“There. You can leave now.”

Zander turned to look at me. His brows snapped together, and his gaze was full of grievance. Nevertheless, he could do nothing but accept the cheque and leave.

As soon as he got into the car, Ashton turned around and headed toward the house.

He quickened his steps. Thanks to his long legs, it only took him a few strides to leave me far behind him.

“Ashton, wait for me.”

It wasn’t until he reached the room upstairs to see the babies that he finally stopped and I was able to catch up to him.

Gregory was asleep. On a couch in the bedroom, Ashton was holding and playing with Audrey, gazing at her affectionately. The one-month-old baby looked tiny in his arms. The corner of my lips curled up as I looked at his gentle demeanor, acting as if the baby was made of porcelain.
