In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1301

Millie did not respond and turned to walk back up the stairs. After two steps, she paused. “I’m not used to this,” she announced with a sideways glance.

After that abrupt reply, she quickened her pace and soon disappeared at the top of the stairs.

I was befuddled.

Not used to what? Our cuisine?

But we were having seafood. No matter which country you’re from, seafood is cooked in almost the same way. There shouldn’t be much difference to its taste.

Perhaps she was too far from the table and thought that the dishes were all foreign cuisine that she was not used to.

My thoughts were elsewhere when John suddenly stood up and obstructed my view. His solemn eyes were trained onto me; they were stern yet gentle. “I agree to help you.”

“Really?” I was overjoyed. I didn’t expect John to change his mind so fast.

“Yeah,” he said without expression. I couldn’t decipher his emotions. He had a naturally cool-looking face, and the lack of expression made him seem even more distant.

It didn’t feel right for me to act playful. Therefore, I composed myself and asked, “John, did you get mad because you think that I was too impulsive?”

John shook his head and sighed. Holding my gaze, he answered, “I was just feeling relieved.”

“Hmm?” I expressed my puzzlement.

“I always thought that you were obstinate and rash. You were impulsive like a man and always got hurt as a result. I felt that I needed to keep you safe at all times. But today, after seeing your secretary and learning that you took precautions without us knowing; I know you have matured. As long as you understand how precious you are, what else would I be worried about?”
