In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 275

He pulled my covers open, causing the sunlight to blind my eyes momentarily.

Scowling, he inquired, “Are you trying to suffocate yourself?”

I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. “Ashton, can’t I vent my feelings? Have you ever been considerate of my feelings?”

Knitting his brows together, he asked, “Are you unwell?”

I felt tempted to strangle him. “Can’t you feel it?” I gritted out angrily.

His frown deepened. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

Infuriated by his suggestion, I threw a pillow at him. “Get out!”

Ashton left without a word and shut the door behind him.

I shut my eyes and lay on the bed, but I was too upset to sleep.

Mrs. Eriksen brought breakfast upstairs and called me hesitantly. “Letty, I brought breakfast. Why don’t you eat something and apply some ointment before going back to sleep?”

“No need!” I wasn’t someone who’d throw a tantrum without reason, so I merely replied to her coolly.

She paused before explaining, “Letty, Mr. Ashton left a while ago. He told me to watch you eat a little. If you feel unwell, apply the ointment and get some rest.”

“No need!” My voice grew louder.

Mrs. Eriksen stopped trying to persuade me and placed the tray on the table. Before she left, something occurred to her. “Letty, actually, Mr. Ashton adores you. I watched him grow up. His grandfather brought him up, so he doesn’t know how to take care of others. He’s good at solving problems because that was what his grandfather taught him. Mr. Fuller wanted him to take over the business. Mr. Ashton wasn’t born a cold-hearted person. He might not know how to please you. But it’s obvious he cares about you a lot.”

She added, “He wanted to come up earlier, but you were mad at him. Hence, he told me to relay his wishes. You’re a married couple and should understand each other. Don’t argue over trivial matters as that would only bring harm to your relationship.”

I was too exhausted to think of a reply. “I got it, Mrs. Eriksen. You should go back to work. I’d like to rest now.”

She nodded. “Okay. Remember to eat your breakfast later.”

She left right after saying that.

I lay in bed and stared at the scenery outside the window with my half-opened eyes. Winter in K City was a dreadful affair. It was drizzling now. This wouldn’t help me feel better at all.

Every inch of my body was throbbing painfully. I couldn’t fall asleep or bring myself to eat anything.

I wanted to lie in bed and do nothing.
