In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 162

I rolled over in bed when I woke up and immediately saw Ashton staring at me. I was stunned for a moment but I asked, “You’re up?”

He raised his eyebrows. “Are you hungry?”

I wasn’t since I had just woken up, so I shook my head in response. I adjusted myself a little but felt extreme pain in my waist and I couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s wrong?”

“My waist hurts.” I don’t know why but I felt like my baby was growing too fast. It had only been six months but my baby bump had grown a lot.

I took a closer look while showering yesterday and noticed some stretch marks on it that were quite unsightly.

Ashton moved his hand to my waist and helped me massage the area. “You should sign up for a prenatal care class and do some yoga. I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

I was feeling a little lazy so I shook my head and said, “It’s going to be troublesome to go to the center and come home every day.”

“Then, how about we hire a coach so you can do it at home?”

Thinking that Macy should do it too, I shook my head again. “It’s alright. I’ll think about it later. You should go ahead and do what you need to do. Macy’s free lately so she can accompany me.”

His brows knitted together as he continued to massage my waist area. “Am I your husband, or is she your husband?”

“Of course it’s you!” After getting a massage from him, I felt better so I turned to let him massage the other side. “You have so many things to take care of at the company. I’ll be fine with her accompanying me. Besides, you’re already so busy. You should take some time off and get some rest!”

The corner of his lips tilted upwards into a bright smile as he asked, “Are you worried about me?”

I nodded and said casually, “Being with Macy isn’t so bad anyway.”

“I’ll hand over the company matters to Jared and Joe. Besides, I’ll be taking maternity leave until you’ve given birth.” He ended his sentence with a serious look on his face and he grabbed his phone, about to make a call.

I quickly stopped him. “I’m serious, Ashton. Just go to work as usual. We’d only fight if you’re always by my side anyway. You might as well work and save up some money for the baby.”

We already fought so often even if we only meet in the morning and night. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if we stayed together all the time.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. “When did we fight? It’s only a fight if two of us do it. Does ours really count as a fight? Besides, I’m the CEO of a huge company. Do you think we’ll lack money if I don’t work for a few months?”

Well, he had a point. Apart from some stuff, I was the only one causing trouble every time we fought. He would always let me be.

However, I really didn’t want him to not go to work. After pausing for a moment, I changed the topic and asked, “Didn’t you say we’ll be going to K City a few days ago?”

My belly was getting bigger day by day. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient if we went much later.
