In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 174

Seeing this, Mrs. Eriksen walked into the kitchen, smiling.

Meanwhile, outside the study.

I hesitated for a while, then raised my hand to knock on the door.

After a moment, a low voice came from inside, “Mrs. Eriksen, you go and rest. I’m not hungry!”

“It’s me!” I said, almost biting my lip, feeling so anxious that I nearly sweated.

There was a short silence. After a while, the low voice spoke loudly, “Come in!”

I sighed with relief. Then, I pushed the door open. I glanced at the good-looking yet unapproachable man seated at the desk.

Holding the bowl of soup, I paused and said, “Mrs. Eriksen said you haven’t eaten anything. She made this fish soup. Would you like to take it? “

As I spoke, I walked up to him and put the bowl next to him. Then, my eyes fell on his back.

It was the same suit as before since it was black and there was nothing else except for the faint mark from the spade.

I was about to ask if he suffered any injuries but I stopped when I saw him staring at me blankly.

I was a little frustrated.

“Why are you back?” He frowned and the expression on his face was distant and remote.

I lowered my head. After all, I panicked in this matter and didn’t handle it well. I paused and said, “Ashton, I’m sorry but I can’t leave him alone. If you are still angry now, you may hit me or scold me.”

“Hah!” He laughed, coldly, “How likely is it for me to scold or hit you?”

Looking at him, I nodded very seriously, “Yes. If you are angry, you can hit me!”

“Hit you?” He laughed hysterically, “Scarlett, when did you learn to give a carrot after giving a smack? You have become more cunning over the years of working in Fuller Corporation.”

Uh-oh!

“Why don’t you take the soup first and fill your stomach? If you don’t take any food, it is harmful to your health!” Now, I can only be gentle with him. If I push him too hard, I’m afraid…

At this moment, there was an extremely gloomy expression on his face. It was almost comparable to the gathering of dark clouds before the coming of a storm.

“Will you explain what happened between you and John?”

I frowned as always when this matter was brought up as it would make me irritable. That was all in the past and I was not willing to recount everything in detail to anyone.
