In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1692

Chapter 1692 Look At Me

“Can you please ask your friend to conduct a more thorough investigation on this? Oh, right. I saw Nathaniel meeting up with Quince today. They seemed to be teaming up against Ashton or Stovall Corporation. You need to be more careful.”

However, John did not seem to be fazed. “It’s just a couple of hooligans! If they do cross the line, I’ll send some money to M Country and get rid of their headquarters. Let’s see if they can still smile after their nest is gone. How dare some foreigners come to cause havoc in Chanaea. Do they really think that we’re such an easy target?”

“I hope it’ll be easy as you say.” Upon hearing that, I still could not put my guard down and continued to remind him, “You forgot about Nathaniel. Don’t take him lightly.”

“I know that. I’m also a businessman that rose to the top of the pyramid by myself. Don’t worry. I’m not that easy to be fooled. Let’s talk later. Your sister-in-law is calling for me, and I’m going to get a scolding if I don’t show up now. I’ll let you know if there are any updates.”

After he hung up the call, I waited for hours and gradually fell asleep on the sofa at around eleven o’clock at night.

I did not fall into a deep sleep as I was still waiting for Ashton at the back of my mind. In my sleep, I could vaguely hear the sound of the door closing and soft footsteps.

After opening the door, he tiptoed toward me and draped his jacket over me.

Opening my eyes, I saw Ashton kneeling on the floor, wanting to carry me back to our room. When he saw that I was awake, he caressed my head worriedly. “Didn’t I say not to wait for me? Why didn’t you head to bed first?”

During dinner, he had phoned to inform me that an urgent international meeting had come up. Thus, he would only be back past midnight.

While grasping the back of the sofa, I answered groggily, “I couldn’t sleep well if you’re not here.”
