In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 255

Knowing that he would say that, I nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

Although I did not know what he planned to do, it had nothing to do with me. After all, I did not plan to rely on someone else to avenge me for all of my past sufferings. Except for myself, everyone else merely served as support.

As I had to go to J City tomorrow, I went to bed early that night. Yet, as expected, I was still plagued by insomnia.

When Ashton noticed that I could not fall asleep, he embraced me with his arms. “Why don’t we do it for the night?”

I was speechless.

There’s a huge difference between “do it for the night” and “do it once.”

“Ashton, I need to go to J City tomorrow. I don’t have the energy for that!” I chided before turning around. With my back facing him, I closed my eyes and prepared to sleep.

He hugged me from behind. Although he did not do anything, I…

After a while, I frowned and said, “Ashton, I can’t sleep like this.”

“We’re a couple. Why can’t we do this?” He sounded so righteous.

I pursed my lips and inched towards the edge of the bed, trying to distance myself from him.

However, he quickly pressed his body against my back again. Left with no choice, I closed my eyes again and tried to fall asleep.

However, the more I wanted to sleep, the more I failed to do so. Just like that, I was kept awake for the entire night.

The next morning at 6 a.m., I woke up and got out of bed. As I had not slept at all, my body was weak, and I could hear ringing in my ears. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ashton got up too. He probably had not gotten a restful sleep either. “I’ll send you to the airport later.”

“It’s alright. It’s still early, so you should sleep for a while longer!” I replied while heading into the bathroom to wash up.

He changed out of his pajamas and pinched his nose bridge. “I’m fine. I can rest in the afternoon.”

Frowning, I suppressed my urge to refuse him and entered the bathroom. By the time I came out, he had already changed his clothes.

Soon, we arrived at the airport.

Ashton parked the car outside the airport terminal and asked, “When will you be returning?”

Quickly rushing out of the car, I replied hastily, “I’ll return after the matter’s settled.”

When he saw how eager I was to get out of the car, he pulled me back and narrowed his eyes. “Why don’t I accompany you there?”

I frowned. As it was almost time for boarding, I could not help but feel anxious. “It’s fine. It’s not like I’ll never come back, right?”

He moved closer to me and smirked. Narrowing his eyes, he said, “I’m afraid that you’ll be reluctant to return after you go there and meet someone.”

His words made me so uneasy.
