In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 256

As they caused quite a commotion, Marcus lost his appetite after taking a few more bites. He looked at me and suggested, “Let’s go and rest for a while. We’ll go to OrbitTech at two in the afternoon.”

Nodding, I stood up with him and subconsciously shot a glance at the woman, who was shrieking in pain as the man hit her.

I could not help but frown. Why is no one stopping them when things are looking so bad?

When the man was about to smash a glass on the woman, she cowered and desperately shielded her head. It seemed like she was used to being beaten up.

Instinctively, I yelled, “Stop it!”

When I regained my senses immediately after, I could not help but feel frustrated at myself. After all, it was not quite appropriate for an outsider to interfere in one’s family affairs. Even if I could help this time, I would not be able to help them forever.

However, since I had already yelled at him, it was impossible for me to leave just like that.

When the man heard my voice, he paused mid-action and turned around to look in our direction.

When I saw his face, I was stunned. Felix?

Why is he here?

My gaze then turned to the woman cowering in front of him. She timidly raised her head and glanced at me.

I was once again astonished. As expected, the woman was Stacey. It had been some time since I last saw her, but her mature beauty had already disappeared and was replaced instead by a sunken and depressed look.

Only half a year had passed, but she had changed so drastically.

Both of them were stunned to see me. Felix was the first to scoff in disdain, “I was wondering who it was! So it’s Mrs. Fuller, huh? Didn’t you go to K City with Mr. Fuller? Have you returned?”

When he glanced at Marcus, he raised his eyebrows and remarked frivolously, “Tsk-tsk! You’re still as pretty as before. Looks like you’ve found another man for yourself.”

Frowning, I ignored his comment and gazed at Stacey instead. For a moment, I was at a loss for words.

How did she become like this?

After a slight pause, I unhesitatingly whipped out my phone and called the cops. After the call went through, I said, “Hello. I’d like to report a case of domestic abuse here, and it seems to be quite serious.”

I told them about the address before hanging up. At the same time, Felix glared at me viciously, almost flying into a rage. “Why are you nosing into my business? Do you think that I won’t dare to hit you?”

This was not how a rational person was supposed to react.

I glanced at Stacey. After a moment of shock, she became calm again. It looked like she was used to Felix’s attitude.

Walking toward her, I stretched out my hand and offered, “It’s been ages since I saw you. Do you need me to send you to the hospital?”

She shot a timid glance at Felix before shaking her head fearfully. Forcing a smile out on her face, she insisted, “It’s fine. I’m alright. Thank you!”
