In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 163

I knew he was surprised, but I would try my best to resolve the dispute between George and him to free up his worries and to repay him for his kindness towards me.

Ashton was already in the kitchen when I got out of the bathroom.

He saw me and noticed that I was barefooted. “The floor is cold, so please wear slippers!” he said out of concern.

Ah!

I was too focused on looking for him that I forgot about it.

After slipping into a pair of slippers, I entered the kitchen to take a peek at what he was cooking. “What are you cooking?” I asked to find out what was behind that rich, comforting smell.

“Chicken soup!” he replied with pride. He came close to me with his gleeful eyes and requested, “Give me a kiss!”

I was startled, and I blushed. “Have you decided when to visit George?” I tried to change the topic.

He noticed, so he smirked and teased, “I’ll tell you after you give me a peck on my cheek!”

I gave him a light peck on his cheek and looked at him, “Alright, can I know now?”

Ashton smiled so brightly – he resembled a happy baby with blushed cheeks and flushed ears.

“The day after tomorrow then!”

“Great!”

I slept surprisingly well that night. When I woke up, Ashton was already off to work.

I lazed on the bed and thought of heading back to Glenwood Apartments to retrieve my cellphone. It felt awkward to not have my phone with me.

To my wonderment, I saw Macy and Mrs. Eriksen chattering away happily.

“When did you get here?” I interrupted.

“I’ve been here for quite some time already. I brought your cellphone and bag here for you. Let’s get some breakfast and head to the hotel afterwards to meet Jackson!”

I nodded in reply as the plan sounded great.

Macy was a chatterbox. She always had endless topics to talk about. There was a time when she was in the kitchen with Mrs. Eriksen, and both of them discussed topics from food to raising kids. I would not be surprised if they carried on their conversation for days.

Lucky for me, Mrs. Eriksen had to get groceries after breakfast, so I was able to grab Macy to go to the hotel.

Let’s go!

“Your helper is so experienced! She’s the reason why I’m tempted to move in with you!” she exclaimed while munching on the green mango salad that she brought from the villa.

I chuckled. “You are always welcomed for stayovers!”
