In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1787

Chapter 1787 Jealousy

As soon as our gazes met, I looked away subconsciously and awkwardly. But yet, I could feel his eyes lingering all over me.

After a long torment that lasted a few seconds, he squinted and withdrew his gaze before he left.

I wondered if he had seen through me, or was he just jealous?

Although I couldn’t be sure, I had to assume it was the latter.

The more jealous he was, the more reason I had to stay out of his sight from then on. That was the only way to make him crave for me more.

For the next three days, I had to shut him out. I went to John’s house and fetched the kids. Throughout the entire time, I focused all my energy and time on them.

At last, on a Saturday afternoon, I decided to go to the garden for some relaxation after putting Audrey to sleep. That was when Nathaniel showed up out of nowhere.

He was standing motionlessly still on the gravel road leading to the back entrance. Perhaps the gloomy weather played a part, but I saw an utter sadness in his eyes when he was staring at me.

At that moment, I was wearing a set of matching pajamas I got for Audrey and me. My hair was casually tied up to a messy bun. In fact, I looked like a mess, to say the least. I wondered why he looked so sad, though.

“Oh, you’re here,” I greeted him coldly.

Without saying a word, he just kept looking back at me with those depressed eyes.

“Come and have a sit.” I was acting as though I didn’t notice the expression in his eyes. I poured a cup of tea and blurted, “Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up.”

Then, I silently enjoyed a sip of my tea.
