In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1443

Ashton seemed to disregard me as he reprimanded Joseph with severity. “Must I repeat myself?”

I remained in denial. “Perhaps there was an issue with the DNA sample you got from me. Maybe we could…”

Ashton was in no mood to listen to me any longer. He calmly took the report from the doctor and inspected it carefully once more.

I did not know how I mustered the courage to vocalize the fury I felt inside at the sight of his aloofness. “Ashton Fuller!”

That outburst finally seemed to yield some response from him. However, he merely paused in the act of reading; he did not look up at me.

I tried to make a dogged attempt to state my case but was cut off firmly by Joseph. “We should be going, Ms. Stovall.”

Even if that was not something I wanted to hear, I felt the man’s good intentions. He was merely concerned that I might anger Ashton.

Left without alternatives, I could only back off. For now.

I had to break into a jog in order to keep up with Joseph’s lengthy strides. “Are you sure the result of the test is reliable, Mr. Campbell? Surely you must know the truth, having worked for Ashton for as long as you have?”

“Don’t worry yourself over this, Ms. Stovall. Rest assured that Mr. Fuller will look into it.”

Joseph brought me to the rear exit and issued some instructions to the chauffeur before he turned back.

The more I thought about it, the more I sensed something amiss. I decided to go back and question the examining doctor.

I backtracked to the house which I had come from and saw a young lady enter as I turned the corner.

The door was ajar, so I sneaked up and stood outside to eavesdrop.

Ashton was still in there while two people were engaged in a heated exchange. The woman sounded agitated as she snatched the paternity test report from Ashton’s hands. “Why are you looking at me like that? How could you suspect me because of something someone else said? I’m your own sister!”
