In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 171

Once I reached home and saw the black Bentley that was parked in front of the entrance, I couldn’t be sure if I were disgusted or infuriated.

John alighted from the ride as he greeted me with a courteous smile, “Hey! I have been waiting for you! Where have you been? Why have you switched off your phone?”

I stood right where I was statically and clenched my fists with all my might in order to suppress my emotions. “Why are you here?”

“I’m here to visit you… and the baby…” Once he finished his sentence, he stared at my tummy as though he was up to no good.

I disliked the uncanny sensation that he had often brought along whenever he showed up in front of me. “Fine! Since you’ve already met us, can you leave?”

If I had the choice to stay away from him for the rest of my life, I would accept the offer without a second thought.

I walked past him as I made my way into the villa. Nevertheless, he came after me, standing in my way as I was about to reach the house. He smirked viciously as he stated, “Scarlett, are you going to treat me in such a manner for the rest of our lives? I’m not your foe—I’m your beloved brother! We’re supposed to be each other’s strongest backing on this planet! Why have you pushed me away over and over again?”

For the last time, I tried my best to suppress my emotions as I asked, “Am I supposed to treat you differently? John, you’re aware of our relationship, aren’t you? Are we really siblings? Are you sure that I am the one who has pushed you away? How can you say this when you’re the one who has left me behind! It’s all your fault! You’re the reason that we’re no longer close! You have turned into a selfish, vicious, and cunning man over the years!”

Previously, when Grandma brought him back to R Province, I was thrilled because I thought that I finally had another sibling and someone to keep me company! However, as time went by, I noticed that I was wrong because his deeds had sent chills running down my spine!

When he heard my words, he replied with a bitter smile as though he found himself hilarious and pathetic at the same time. “Are you going to forsake me as well?”

I avoided the helpless man’s gaze as I murmured, “I have no intention of forsaking you, but…”

“Great! Letty, as long as you’re not going to forsake me, I believe that we’ll patch things up and return to the good old days soon!” His expression morphed as soon as he heard my reply. He returned to the car and brought me a basket of tomatoes.

Grinning, he repeated, “I am aware that you are craving for the fruits and vegetables that we used to have back in R Province! Do you remember that I had bought the plot of land? I have planted your favorite fruits and vegetables using the seeds that have been left behind by Grandma! I have brought you your favorite tomatoes and mangoes today!”

For a moment, I felt rather confused when I looked at him because he seemed to be different from his usual indifferent and blood-lusting self. I was clueless about the reason that had done all those things behind my back.

I couldn’t be sure if it were one of his attempts to deceive me again, but I couldn’t bear to turn him down when I saw the bright and innocent grin on his face.

In the end, he brought the basket of fruits into the courtyard of the villa and told me, “If you like it, I’ll occasionally drop by and hand it over to you! Also, if you feel like making a trip back to R Province, feel free to get in touch with me! Let’s make a trip together!”

I felt a prickling sensation behind my eyes because John seemed to have been alone all this while. I finally figured out that he wasn’t lying when he told me that he had been feeling alone.
