In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1714

Chapter 1714 Summer Is Back

As I couldn’t get any more information from Holden, I thought of Rebecca. Perhaps I could probe her to get more clues. I had no other choice for now.

Outside the club, I hung around for a long time but couldn’t bring myself to head in.

To be honest, after the truth was revealed, Ashton wasn’t the only one who couldn’t accept it after hiding the truth for years. As I had labeled myself as the victim for years, I had no idea how to face Rebecca.

I guess even the most hateful person deserved some pity. When I was the cause of her pitiful state, I couldn’t really say that in a confident manner.

A small discrepancy could lead to a great difference. No one could be sure if Rebecca could lead a different life if she hadn’t been sexually assaulted back then.

I was too deep into my thoughts that I only snapped back to reality when someone called my name a few times behind me.

Swiveling around, I saw Rebecca before me. We cross paths again. Before I could figure out what to say, Summer got down from the car behind her and caught my attention.

“Mommy,” Summer greeted me calmly. Her tone was flat, and I could not decipher any emotions from it.

She didn’t inform me when she decided to leave the country, and now she was back with Rebecca in tow. I couldn’t help but think of the worst. Furrowing my brows, I demanded in an authoritative manner, “Why didn’t you go home now that you’re back in the country?”

“You’re not even her biological mother. Does her whereabouts concern you?” Rebecca was as sharp as usual.

I ignored her and waited for Summer’s answer patiently.

Summer glanced at Rebecca and looked down instead of replying to me.

Her silence proved she was on Rebecca’s side, creating an invisible wall between me and them. We were standing face to face, but it seemed like there was a bridge between us that we could never cross.
