In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708 A Show To Gain Pity

Ashton furrowed his brows exasperatedly and said, “You scared the wits out of me. Don’t ever joke like this again.”

As he frowned, he looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

I stretched out my hand to cup his face before I looked straight into his eyes. Then, I smoothed the fold between his brows with my thumb.

“I’ll never joke around again. So, stop frowning.”

Ashton smiled wryly and wrapped his arms around me. With a hoarse voice, he said, “Okay.”

However, I was not a tame one. I grabbed his collar and warned solemnly, “Next time, this wouldn’t be a joke anymore.”

Ashton’s eyes dimmed instantly. Staring at me, he pulled me closer toward him tightly.

“No,” he responded through gritted teeth. It actually sounded more like a threat.

However, his words acted like a stimulant. I became more confident that my existence could calm Ashton down.

If I kept myself rational, his safety would be guaranteed.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense until I felt a pain in my waist. Then, I giggled in Ashton’s arms.

Ashton probably was too agitated to warn me not to joke with my life, and I successfully pushed him and pinned him on the couch.
