In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1752

Chapter 1752 You Are In Charge

John furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. Looking thoughtful, he asked, “You’re saying that everything Ashton has been doing recently is a lie and that he is doing this undercover? Are you sure about that?”

As smart as he was, he quickly grasped the meaning behind my words. I nodded with my lips pursed, my eyes filled with undeniable conviction. “I’m certain of it.”

“Hmm…” Unconvinced, John let out a long hum and didn’t reveal his thoughts.

I could understand his skepticism. After all, even the Lyons family had been dragged into this war, which was one that we couldn’t afford to lose. It was too risky for him to have faith in Ashton, who had never pledged his loyalty to anyone.

If he was still a youth, he would make the same bet as I did without a care for the consequences. But now, he was all grown up and was a legitimate head of a family. Hence, he could no longer make decisions recklessly.

That day, his scathing words were not just meant to frighten me. If Ashton had really changed, he would go all out to take him down. But even so, he was apprehensive when faced with my decision to trust Ashton still.

After all, other than being stubborn and soft-hearted at times, John was someone who would deliberate upon matters comprehensively.

“John”—I suppressed the emotions in my heart and adjusted his jacket that had flipped over by his shoulder—”just prioritize Emma this time, all right? What you have done for me is more than enough.”

After a brief pause, I continued, “Although all good things must come to an end, I know that both of us are different. No matter what you choose this time or whether we’re on the same path, I will always remember that you are the biggest source of my courage.”

John let out a long sigh. “The way you talk really unsettles me.”

Taking a deep breath, I hid away my sorrows and looked up at him. With a confident smile, I answered, “You should get used to it because the conclusion will show that my judgment is correct.”

John grinned in response. “Are you really that confident in Ashton?”

I shook my head. “It’s more like I’m confident in my own choice. After all, I picked it up from you, no?”
