In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 225

Irritated, I was about to turn off my phone when another call came in. I frowned as I answered the call, “Are you still not satisfied with how miserable I am now, Ashton? Do you want to see me die?”

“You know what I actually want, Scarlett. If I could stay by your side…” His voice was hoarse, and I could vaguely hear the sound of rain over the speaker.

Feeling more irked, I had a strong urge to hang up immediately, but he added, “I’m downstairs.”

I was stunned. The next thing I knew, I was walking to the balcony. The moment I looked down, I saw Ashton standing in the rain by the lamppost downstairs.

Instantly, I was infuriated. “Are you crazy, Ashton?” Is he trying to torture himself by standing in the rain in the middle of the night?

But he chuckled. “You’re angry. Does that mean you’re worried about me?”

What the…

He’s crazy!

“You need to see a doctor, Ashton.” I hung up after saying that, a wave of frustration rising in me.

It was still pouring outside, and it wasn’t warm like the rain during summer. I was worried as he would definitely get sick if he stayed out there any longer.

After thinking about it, I gave Jared a call, but it went unanswered, so I called Joe. After some time, he finally picked up.

“What’s wrong, Scarlett?”

I pursed my lips. “Ashton is harming himself at the residence near Central Park. You’d better come and get him if you don’t want him to die. And please tell him that if he wants to die, he should do it far away from here. I don’t want to watch him die. Thanks.”

“What the hell! I knew you weren’t a good person! You—” I turned off my phone before he could finish his sentence. Joe was known for having a sharp tongue, and I didn’t want to hear him insult me.

There was no sign of the rain stopping anytime soon, but Ashton remained rooted to his spot nonetheless. Joe finally arrived to pick him up after half an hour.

I was too high up in the building to hear what they were talking about, but I watched as they fought for a little before they left.

After that, I drew the curtains shut and sat on the bed, knowing well that I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore.

The next day at dawn, I got out of bed and went straight to the company after washing up.

Marcus came early in the morning. When he saw that I wasn’t in good spirits, he frowned and asked, “Didn’t you sleep last night?”

I nodded. “Ashton was downstairs. It was so annoying.”

His brows knitted together but said nothing else about it. He then changed the topic, “Did you read through the document I gave you yesterday?”
