In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 158

His body was limp in the passenger seat as he said weakly, “What kind of ill fate is this? I couldn’t even run from it!”

I broke into laughter. “There are empty rooms in my house. If you don’t like to stay at hotels, you can come and stay at my house.”

“Hang on,” he said while shaking his head. “I still want to live for a few more years. I’ll think of something.”

We talked about what had happened over these years on our way. He then furrowed his brows and said, “Why don’t you want to tell Ashton about your kidnapping? It’ll be much easier if you ask him to investigate compared to when you do it yourself.”

There wasn’t anything I had to hide since it was about treating an illness. “Ashton and Rebecca’s relationship still confuses me sometimes. If she’s really the one behind this, I’m afraid that I’ll just be digging a grave for myself. I might as well just investigate on my own as a precaution.”

“Damn it!” Feeling frustrated, he said, “How did you become so miserable after getting married? I don’t see any good in your luxurious life at all.”

It really wasn’t.

Not long after that, we arrived at the restaurant.

After parking the car, we got down and entered the restaurant. Macy had arrived earlier and found us a table. Upon seeing us, she waved her hand and called out, “Here! I’m here.”

Jackson flashed a smile before saying, “Babe! I’m here!” His words caught the attention of many of the customers.

The man was good-looking and he was wearing sunglasses. He looked just like a celebrity in the restaurant.

A few women were discussing among themselves. “He’s so good-looking. Is he a celebrity?”

“I don’t know. He’s either a celebrity or a model. But the woman beside him is pregnant so he’s probably a married man.”

“That might be it. As expected, all the good men are always taken.”

“It’s such a pity.”

……

Once I sat down, Jackson nudged me and said while looking at Macy and me, “Did you hear that? It’s not embarrassing to come out with me, right?”

Macy pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. “Don’t be such a narcissist. It’s like walking a monkey around with everyone watching us. So troublesome!”

“Tsk.” Her words made him unhappy. “We haven’t met in a few years. Don’t you have anything nicer to say?”

“Alright, alright,” I said. “Both of you quarrelsome people just have to fight even when we’re out to eat, don’t you?”

Both of them glared at each other but said nothing after that.

They had always argued with each other since the moment they met. This was how some people got along. After all, there were so many different kinds of people in this world.

“Huh?” Jackson stared at the entrance in confusion in the middle of our meal.
