In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1376

From Charlie’s dark eyes, I could tell he was not surprised to see those photos. This confirmed Ashton’s prediction — Charlie had known Christopher was alive.

Ashton had once told me that even though Charlie treated him well, he often felt as if his uncle intentionally stayed away from him. Charlie’s behavior eventually caused Ashton to lose trust in him. It had got to a point where Ashton did not bother trying to figure out what went on in his uncle’s mind.

Ever since he took over the Fuller Corporation, Ashton had finally learned that he could trust no one in this world.

He had always attributed the problem he had with Charlie to interpersonal difficulties. Never in his life had he questioned if he was really related to this family.

Everything that had happened recently had made the man question his identity.

“Am I really your nephew?” Ashton asked icily.

If Christopher could change his identity and forge his death, Ashton believed the man was capable of manipulating the paternity test results too.

Charlie took a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Why do you even bother to ask me such a question if you’ve already guessed it right? You’re right. We’re not related by blood. You might not be a Fuller, but we’ve never treated you differently.”

Ashton let out a cold snort but kept mum. Upon seeing his reaction, Charlie shuddered.

Charlie let out a sigh, thinking Ashton did not buy his story. “Your grandpa adopted Christopher, your father. He was not only a hardworking person, but he also has strong business acumen. He did all he could to repay your grandpa’s kindness. The Fullers have always had a close relationship with your mother’s family. Your grandpa decided to matchmake your mother with Christopher when the patriarch learned that she had fallen in love with him. Though your father was not pleased with the arrangement, we all still lived a rather peaceful life.”
