In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1608

“His family makes these traditional wedding attires,” Ashton said calmly while adjusting the straps on his outfit.

“He sure has a great eye for… Wait, what?”

I paused mid-sentence when I realized that the sales staff had helped us because he recognized who we were and knew what we needed.

Ashton had seen right through it but kept it to himself when he saw me thanking the sales staff profusely.

That b*stard! I can’t believe he let me make a fool out of myself!

I shot him a fierce glare at the thought of that. “Ashton!”

He let out a little chuckle and acted all innocent as he helped adjust my outfit. “Okay, okay… Next time, I’ll be sure to tell you out loud that you’ve been recognized.”

“You…” My face was all puffed with anger. Tell me out loud? That’ll just humiliate me in front of others even more!

Ashton gave me a kiss on the forehead and led me toward the stairs as he said, “Come on, we need to get going now. We won’t even be able to leave through the back door if we don’t hurry up.”

Having no other choice, I could only swallow my anger and leave the store with him.

Fortunately for us, the group of people waiting outside had yet to discover the back door, so we were able to get out of there smoothly. We then made a few turns through some alleys and successfully blended into the crowd shortly after.

While watching a fire-breathing performance, I noticed a rock candy vendor passing by and begged Ashton to buy me some.

I’ve always found it satisfying whenever I see people eat rock candy on television. Now that I finally get to experience that satisfaction myself, I realize flavor is only a part of what truly makes a food amazing. What’s even more important is the feelings you have while eating it as well as the environment you eat it in.
