In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1845

“Sure.” Gregory didn’t say much. He simply nodded and got to work. Once the app was installed, Nathaniel knocked on the room door.

Knock! Knock!

“What is it?” I snapped at the door.

“It’s time to send Gregory back. John isn’t uncomfortable with him spending such a long time with us,” Nathaniel explained plainly. Much to my surprise, he wasn’t angry at all.

On the surface, John and I were still at odds with each other. Hence, it made sense for him to show such concerns.

The second reason was that he knew I had summoned Gregory to act as a messenger.

After giving it some thought, I replied, “I understand. I’ll get him changed right away. You can wait downstairs.”

Soon, I heard the footsteps outside the door gradually soften until silence returned.

While helping Gregory change, I spoke to him in a voice only audible to both of us. “Sweetheart, if you have the opportunity to contact Daddy, tell him to stir up the situation further. Do you understand?”

When Gregory stared at me with his eyes widened, I wasn’t sure if he got it entirely. Nevertheless, he reassured me, “Mommy, trust me, I won’t let you down.”

When I saw how sensible Gregory was, it filled my heart with a sense of security, probably due to my maternal instinct. Suddenly, everything that I had suffered didn’t seem to matter much anymore.

Suppressing the reluctance in me, I hugged Gregory again before leading him downstairs.

Despite having waited for a long time, Nathaniel remained calm as he gestured for Gregory to go over. “I’ll send you home.”

Gregory glanced at me and then at Nathaniel before walking out the door.

With his hand awkwardly stuck in mid-air, Nathaniel was caught off-guard. In spite of that, he retracted it in silence.

In truth, children usually had good intuition. Despite not being unaware of the situation, they could differentiate who to approach and to avoid.

Obviously, I didn’t say anything about it to Gregory. After all, he still had to spend half an hour alone in the car with Nathaniel.
