In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1739

Chapter 1738 Are They Really The Same Person

Ah, no. I can’t do that. Joseph isn’t in his right mind, and it’s dangerous for him to be alone out there. Despite my resentment, I could only grit my teeth and retract my hand, watching as Ashton strutted away.

His back was no different from before, broad and solid. Yet, I couldn’t help the grief welling up within me.

What exactly are you thinking about, Ashton? You should’ve kept those villains in line if you wanted to save Joseph. But then, why did you rush over if otherwise? I’ve got no choice but to admit that I really have no way of discerning the truth when he truly wants to hide his emotions.

After all, someone who naively thought that love would never change could only remain passively in a checkmate forever.

“Hmm? Why did he suddenly become so wily? Who did he learn it from?” Emery had no inkling of the changes in Ashton, so she assumed that they were having a fight.

When she received no response from me, she stepped forward and nudged me gently. Then she threw me a wink in feigned frivolity. “Cheer up. There are plenty of fishes in the sea, and you’re a modern woman, so how could you be so crestfallen because of a man? I’ll go about your business with you first, okay?”

Lowering my head, I chuckled bitterly before riposting her teasing despite my pain, “Tons of women would be ruined if you were a man since you’re such an expert in mollifying others!”

“That’s great!” Emery took my arm with another step forward. As she walked out, she smugly declared, “I’ll start with you, then!”

Millie’s driving was fast and steady. Adding to the fact that we missed the evening rush hour, the trip that would usually take half an hour was shortened to just twenty minutes.

I waited anxiously after ringing the doorbell, but no one answered the door.

Don’t tell me they didn’t even show a woman and kids any mercy?
