In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1610

We soon arrived at the venue for the event and saw that the organizers had placed choral risers on the stage for the ninety-nine couples to stand on. That way, neither of them would have their faces blocked by the person standing in front of them.

Their wedding attires looked a lot more vibrant under the warm lighting, and the colors were reflected on the faces of the guests standing close to the stage.

Instead of the overwhelming euphoria that I experienced during Ashton’s proposal earlier, seeing the couples boldly make their vows on stage had a kind of soothing effect on me. It helped suppress my feelings of unease temporarily, and I silently gave them my most sincere blessings.

Ashton then brought me out of there after the couples completed the ritual.

“If you like it, we can have people organize their weddings here every day,” he said as we casually strolled down the street.

Knowing that he was trying to distract me, I teased him by asking sarcastically, “Aren’t you supposed to do that for me alone? What, is it too expensive for you?”

Ashton arched an eyebrow at me and replied with a smirk, “I’m fine with that. You might not be able to handle it, though.”

“Are you underestimating me? Besides, it’s not like it takes a lot of effort to play the role of the bride. All I have to do is walk a few steps and sit in the carriage…” I mumbled softly as I followed behind him.

Ashton simply chuckled in response and said nothing further, which struck me as a little strange.

It wasn’t until we moved further away from the crowd that I realized Ashton was headed outside of the area.

“Are we heading back now?” I asked as we got closer to the entrance.

I kind of feel like spending some time with him alone. It is our wedding night, after all. Honestly, it has been ages since I felt like just clinging to Ashton and spending lots of time just doing nothing in particular. Maybe it’s because we’ve already gotten to that stage where everything is stable in the relationship.

“Not yet,” Ashton replied and continued heading toward the parking lot.
