In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 206

I was not trying to imply anything else. Instead, I genuinely thought that this was a win-win situation for both of us. However, he glanced at me coldly and instructed, “Eat quickly!”

At that moment, his phone rang. He glanced at it and frowned. “I’ll go and answer this call.”

I nodded and watched as he left with his phone.

The barbecued meat was ready after a while. Not waiting for him, I stuffed them into my mouth eagerly. It felt so carefree to eat without anyone disturbing me.

When I raised my head and glanced at Ashton, I saw him enter the car with his phone. He probably wanted to talk in his car.

Ten minutes passed. While I was eating happily, he came in and sat opposite me. However, he did not touch his cutlery at all.

Instead, he asked, “Jared and Joe are having a celebration tonight. Will you be coming along?”

“Where?”

“The Paramount Club.”

The Paramount Club was the most luxurious place in K City. It was where men visit to splurge and a place for women to seek their riches. I was not interested in a place like that.

Hence, I replied calmly, “I don’t want to go.”

He nodded. “Good!”

Ashton really disliked barbecue, so he did not take a single bite. Instead, he merely watched as I ate.

By then, I was already slightly full. Looking at the remaining food that had not been barbecued, I felt that it was a pity that I could not bring them home.

Hence, I could only give up and say to Ashton, “Pay the bill!”

He stood up and went to the cashier without a single word. After dragging me out of the barbecue shop, he asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to take a stroll?”

I shook my head. “I’m fine!” Remembering that he had not eaten anything, I asked, “Would you like to eat something?”

“It’s okay.” After a short pause, he said, “Let’s go home first.”

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang. Sitting on the passenger’s seat, I accepted the call.

Jared’s voice rang out. “Scarlett, is Ashton busy now?”

Taken aback, I shook my head. “No.”

He chuckled. “We’re at Paramount Club. Would you like to come over?”

I glanced over at Ashton. He had already started the engine and was driving back to the villa.

After hesitating for a while, I replied, “Okay, we’ll come soon.”
