In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691 Their Secrets

My heart could not help but throb after seeing how he was still concerned over me despite being in a bad mood. Unconsciously, I nodded. “Everything went quite well. Summer has always been obedient. We’re family, so there’s nothing that cannot be solved by talking it through, right?” There was a deeper meaning behind my words. I hoped Ashton could remember that solving a problem together was way easier than burdening it on himself.

Although men were the pillar of support for families, there was no need for them to force themselves to take all upon themselves. Their families would always back him up, after all.

Ashton was silent for a moment before answering. “Well, of course. It’s great you managed to reconcile with her. I’ll be heading home late as I’m a bit busy today, so you should spend some time with her instead.”

“All right. You should go back to work.”

“Okay. I’m hanging up now.”

After saying that, he wanted to end the call when I suddenly called out to him. “Ashton.”

“I’m still here. What’s the matter?” His tone remained calm.

“I don’t really remember the meaning behind the wedding etiquettes. Can you explain it to me again?” I asked.

Ashton laughed softly but did not reply.

“Why are you laughing?” I questioned.

“It’s nothing.” He seemed to be in a better mood than before. “I think it’s time to rush the editing team for the wedding footage. Otherwise, you’re never going to stop wondering about the happy memories from that day. Who knows if you’ll forget about it one day and stop loving me.”

I could only furrow my eyebrows at his joke. “Am I such a heartless person? It’s not like you only treat me well during my wedding day.” After pondering for a moment, I continued, “Ashton, I’m not a princess from a fairy tale here to live happily ever after with you. Don’t forget that we’re husband and wife. We’re supposed to get through the hardest time together as one.”

At that, the man remained silent for a moment. I could tell he had taken my words to heart, just that he was playing dumb.

If he did not want to tell the truth, no one could force it out of him.

Thus, I could only think of another way. “All right. Summer is calling for me, so I won’t continue to disturb you. See you at home.”

“Bye.”

Ashton’s car rounded the corner and disappeared a short moment after the call ended.
