In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 167

He shook his head and suggested, “Nope! Care to join me for a meal?”

I got ahead of Ashton and uttered before he could reply, “I’m afraid that we’ll be unable to keep you company because we have something else to tend to! You should head over and have your dinner without us!”

Jackson reprimanded me, “Hey! You can’t do this to me! You were the one who’d summoned me back from M Country!”

I felt lightheaded all of a sudden because of his words. In the end, I warned him and showed him my exhausted front. “Have you seen my tummy? I’m afraid that my child will be born way ahead of the estimated date of delivery if I don’t restrain myself.”

He looked at Ashton and muttered, “Since you’re exhausted, you should head back home without Ashton because he’s the one that I’m looking for.”

Ashton turned around and asked, “Why? What do you wish to talk about?”

Jackson stared at me as he directed another question at Ashton. “Are you not aware of your wife’s condition?”

I was utterly dumbfounded because the fool had actually turned his back against me, selling me off in front of Ashton.

Ashton narrowed his eyes in return and affirmed, “I’m well aware of her condition.”

E-Excuse me?

Jackson was taken aback as well. He paused for a few seconds and gave it a thought before throwing another question at him. “If that’s the case, why have you not done anything about it?”

“I’ll think of something and deal with it soon.”

As their conversation continued, I grew increasingly confused.

Once the elevator reached the floor, I sprinted in because I had enough of their conversation. To begin with, they seemed to be on a different page.

“Ashton, I believe you need to make a trip to M Country with Scarlett and get her to go through a thorough diagnosis,” Jackson asserted.

“Have you made a trip back because of her condition?” Ashton queried.

Jackson nodded as he asked rhetorically, “Why else would I return? It took me more than twelve hours to make a trip back. I don’t have that much time to kill, okay?”

It sounded as though Ashton was aware of my actual condition. I couldn’t care less about it as I decided to interrupt their conversation. “Let’s catch up some time in the future! We’ll return for the time being! Let’s get going already! I’m exhausted after a long day!”

Initially, Jackson was about to go on, but he received a call out of the blue. He answered the call, yet he could barely hear the person on the other end of the call due to the poor signal in the elevator.

It took him a few seconds to figure out the thing that the other person was talking about. Eventually, he burst out laughing as he exclaimed, “Okay! I’ll head over at once!”

After he hung up the call, we finally reached the designated floor. He looked at Ashton and repeated himself in a serious tone for one last time. “Ashton, I mean it! You need to make a trip to M Country with her!”

Once he was done, he departed and disappeared amongst the bustling crowd on the streets.
