In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1285

By now, I couldn’t be bothered to curse at Delilah’s preposterous words.

“Take them outside,” I ordered the bodyguards. “Without my permission, never let them in again.”

The moment I finished, the bodyguard dragged them away and threw them out.

Once they left, the living hall fell silent.

Very quickly, Emery lost her strength and could only support herself by grabbing onto the sofa. As cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she panted heavily to catch her breath. I sympathized with her but there was little else I could do except watching over her quietly.

Given what a proud person she was, her pride would never let her show any weakness.

After I returned home from the Moore Residence, my mood was down in the dumps. I then spent my time playing with the children.

Having sat for a while, I naturally gave Ashton a call.

He answered quickly but his tone was indifferent. “Hello.”

“When are you coming over?” I asked as I shook the babies to sleep listlessly.

“Where are you?” Ashton was economical with his words, as usual.

“The Stovall residence.” I raised my voice on purpose as if to remind him, “Didn’t you say you wanted to taste my cooking? Coincidentally, I cooked today. Are you sure you don’t want to come?”

After a brief silence, Ashton’s voice rang out again. “Scarlett, are you trying to get on my good side?”

Sometimes, it wasn’t a good thing when a man was simply too smart.

Biting my lip, I avoided his question. “Uncle Louis and John are back. We will start dinner soon if you’re not coming.”

“Haha…” Ashton chuckled in delight which was a sign that we had made peace. “I won’t be able to make it back tonight as I have another appointment that I can’t miss. You guys just go on ahead. And next time, you should cook for me alone instead.”

“In your dreams! There’s not going to be a next time.”
