In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1844

Picking up the keys warily, I gave it a closer look. “Are you saying your men won’t follow me like a swarm of flies anymore?”

“No, they will keep their distance and are only responsible for your safety. Also, they won’t interfere with your decisions,” Nathaniel explained.

I nodded in acknowledgment, as I found the arrangement to be reasonable. Pushing my luck, I asked, “Do I only have freedom of movement, or can I also do whatever I want?”

Spreading his hands, Nathaniel leaned back into the sofa. “It’s entirely up to you.”

His answer caught me by surprise, as he was unusually approachable.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel’s mood had always been volatile and could change at a moment’s notice. Therefore, before he changed his mind, I knew I had to take milk it for all it’s worth.

“Fine.” I took the keys boldly, along with the phone and bank card. At the same time, I made a brazen request. “In that case, please bring Gregory over here as I miss him. Only he will do, as he knows you well.”

Just when I headed upstairs with my things, I turned around at the staircase and added, “Go now because I would like to have a meal with him.”

“Sure,” Nathaniel agreed. Before I reached the second floor, he was already gone.

Half an hour later, the phone Nathaniel gave me rang. John had called to check if he was to allow Nathaniel to take Gregory with him. Once he received my confirmation, he ended the call.

Finally, I managed to see Gregory an hour later.

After dinner, I brought Gregory back to the room and stopped Nathaniel by the door with the excuse that we needed some family time.

The moment I closed the door, I wiped away the genial expression I had when facing Nathaniel.

Lowering my gaze at Gregory, who was holding onto a small computer, I brought him to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Then, I knelt down and asked seriously, “Sweetheart, how are your computer science studies coming along? Can you check if the room is bugged?”
