In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 195

Ashton grew annoyed at that. He snapped, “Then find it! How could you possibly wear something someone else’s wife bought for them? Does it even fit you?”

“It fits perfectly actually!” Jared did not seem to be in a good mood. I could hear how his background was rather noisy, hinting that he was possibly in a bar.

“Do you know that the bone cancer hospital in M Country has officially been established? Looks like you don’t need a recommendation letter anymore.” Ashton relaxed back against the chaise lounge, looking as cool as a cucumber.

“Fine! I’ll return you the shirt as soon as I can! In fact, I’ll get on it right away!”

With that said, Jared hung up.

What the hell just happened?

I rolled my eyes at Ashton’s antics. Not having anything more to say to him, I got myself ready for bed.

With Nick and John both in K City, my days were not boring as before. And whenever I felt bored at home, I would start sorting through the insane amount of jewelry Ashton bought for me last time, I had the feeling that it was probably enough for me to start up a jewelry store of my own.

When Cameron came to visit me this time, I was not as panicked nor tense as before. I invited her into the living room, where Molly poured her some tea.

We sat down opposite each other. The gentle smile on her face was ever-present as her gaze landed on my swollen abdomen. After a few seconds of staring, she asked, “The baby is due soon, right?”

I nodded and replied with a succinct “Yeah.”

She did not seem to mind my curt tone as she continued, “How wonderful! You two are about to welcome a new life into your lives.”

Since this was obviously nonsensical chatter, I only gave her a small smile in reply.

Finally realizing that I had no intention of chatting with her, she placed a contract on the table between us. She smiled slightly and gestured to it. “Have a look. You might just find that it’s something that benefits you.”

I raised an eyebrow but did not move to take it. “What is it?”

“Just take a look.”

At her urging, I reached out to grab the contract and flipped through it. When I was done, I did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, I settled on pinning her with a gaze. “As expected from someone known as the world’s richest woman. You’re very generous.”

She gave a tinkling laugh in response. “You flatter me. As you can see, the terms I’ve set are beneficial to you in every way. If you really love Ashton, I’m sure you’ll consider signing this due to concern for his future. After all, he’s a very ambitious man. Why else do you think he chose to come here to K City? That’s because J City is no longer big enough to contain his ambitions.”
