In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1611

Ashton gave me a gentle caress on the back before staring blankly ahead as he said, “He doesn’t want any of those.”

His tone was calm, but I could feel the tension in his words and asked with a frown, “You mean… He just wants to destroy us completely?”

Ashton was quick to reject his own theory. “No, he has no reason to go that far. There are no unresolvable conflicts between us, nor do we owe him anything.”

The lighting in the car was really dim, and I couldn’t even make out his facial expressions unless he spoke.

After a moment of silence, Ashton sat upright all of a sudden and put the laptop aside before tracing a pattern on my palm.

“Do you know what I just wrote?” he asked after completing the pattern.

I was so distracted trying to figure out his emotions that I didn’t really pay attention to what he was doing. “Stovall?” I guessed as all I recalled were the letters “S”, “T”, and “O”.

“Correct,” Ashton said with a smirk before tracing another word on my palm.

This time, I paid attention and gave him my answer before he even asked. “Fuller, your family name.”

Ashton finished tracing the word before looking up at me as he said, “Nope, that’s the wrong answer. I traced the word ‘Stovall’ both times.”

“That’s impossible! I clearly saw you trace the word ‘Fuller’!” There was no way I would get it wrong as I had been staring at his finger the whole time.

Ashton simply maintained the faint smile on his face as he continued tracing the third word on my palm.
