In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 252

I see.

How stupid of me! Of course it’s all because of Rebecca’s baby.

I looked at her and grinned. “You must have known about her pregnancy for quite some time, right? You didn’t mention this, because legally speaking, I am still Ashton’s wife, and you didn’t have a reason to break us apart. Now that my child is gone, you want to get rid of me, so you can bring Rebecca into the family because of the baby she’s carrying. I wonder if Ashton knows about your intention?”

Sally’s expression instantly changed. She did not like how straightforward I was, even though the things I said were exactly what’s on her mind.

“You’re right. Don’t we all make decisions after weighing all the pros and cons? Since your marriage with Ashton is doomed to fail anyway, why don’t you take this opportunity to free yourself?”

I nodded in agreement. What she said made sense, but somehow, I was not pleased to hear that.

After that, I turned my attention to my phone, which I had placed on the table, and said, “You heard it? If you agree, we shall make a trip to Civil Affairs Bureau and sign the divorce papers.”

Sally was taken aback when she realized Ashton was on the phone and heard what she said.

The color drained out of her pale, and she gave me a disdainful look.

Ashton, on the other hand, expressed his dismay in a deep voice. “Don’t ever allow others to tell us what to do. It’s our marriage, and we make decisions for ourselves. And above all, you should know my feelings for you.”

He then raised his voice, “I’m afraid your understanding of love is quite different from us, Aunt Sally. How much do you, as an outsider, know about our marriage, anyway?”

She froze instantly as she was dumbstruck upon hearing the word “outsider.”

Before she could defend herself, Ashton continued, “Next time, please mind your own business, Aunt Sally. You’re the daughter-in-law of the White family now, so it’s time for you to leave the Fullers alone. If possible, we don’t even have to keep in touch anymore.”

Ashton sounded harsh over the phone as if he wanted to sever ties with her.

After ending the call, Sally looked at me with her pallid face. “How dare you pull this trick on me?”

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. “I just wanted to confirm if he wants to apply for a divorce too.”

Out of curiosity, I decided to order takeout from them. Surprisingly, both the food and the lunchbox they used looked pretty good.

I supposed Marcus had not had his lunch too, so I returned to order another takeout. Lo and behold, I bumped into Cameron and Rebecca outside the restaurant.

The mother-daughter duo, who was probably shopping in this mall, was so well-dressed that I could hardly tell one of them was pregnant.

What a blessing it was to be rich.

I was just a stone’s throw away from them, so if I could see them, I was sure they could see me too.

Under normal circumstances, we should avoid each other. After all, none of us wished to make a din in this public area.

But since there were not many people in the mall, the two of them noticed me right away.

Rebecca walked up to me with a look of haughty disdain. “I wonder if there are any places in this world that I can go without seeing your irritating face.”
