In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1849

Just like that, we stayed by Summer’s side quietly until the ambulance came and took Jared’s body away.

After watching Summer leave together with the ambulance, I caught a glimpse of Nathaniel from the corner of my eye.

He was standing far behind the crowd as if he was a lonely spirit. Despite the distance, I could feel the animosity he emanated that seemed to warn everyone to keep their distance.

Although we were standing far apart, I was certain that he was looking at me.

In fact, I figured that he was already watching when Ashton dived to save me.

Instead of confronting me about it, he just wanted to convey the fact that he was aware of everything I was doing.

It was just like a husband who was unwilling to disturb the status quo despite knowing his wife was cheating on him. Even though the betrayal was obvious to all, both sides chose to remain oblivious instead.

Evidently, that was the choice he made.

By the time I reached home, feeling uneasy, Nathaniel was sitting on the sofa. He didn’t question me nor did I say a word. The atmosphere was rather peaceful as if nothing had happened at all.

Since he didn’t bring up the matter, I continued to play dumb. Staying by his side, I waited for the next opportunity to execute my plan.

The awkward tension lasted for about a week. One afternoon, Nathaniel came back home suddenly after having just left.

When I saw him barge in, I couldn’t help but sneer, “What’s wrong? Were you not able to resist checking on me? Are you going to revoke my freedom and privileges next?”

Nathaniel didn’t respond to my taunts. After a long silence, he muttered grimly, “Nick is dead.”

My body froze while still holding the remote. At the same time, I felt my heart sink.

The next moment, my heart pounded so fast that it felt numb, causing me to wonder if I had heard wrong.
