In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 301

After a long time, I freed myself from his arms and exhaled sharply. Looking at him, I chuckled lightly and said, “You really don’t know how to comfort others at all, Ashton.”

He replicated my smile and gazed back at me warmly. “I’ll try my best next time.”

I giggled softly and had a few more bites of my food even though I had already lost my appetite. He was going on a business trip the next day, so we planned to go back to the villa later.

However, Sally kept calling him. There was even a plea in her voice when she asked the two of us to visit the White residence together. Ashton was reluctant at first, but she was practically begging him.

Hence, he had no choice but to agree.

At the White residence, Ashton had to attend a video conference, leaving me bored stiff on my own.

I looked out the window and saw that it was snowing outside, The scenery looked especially enchanting under the silvery moonlight.

Thus, I went downstairs with the intention of going outside for a stroll.

There were many winter roses and trees in the White residence’s yard. The snow on the ground seemed to be blanketed by a layer of silver, glimmering exquisitely and giving the whole place a dreamy vibe.

I took a few steps into the yard and lifted my face to the sky to welcome the snowflakes. Looking over my shoulder, I noticed my uneven footprints in the snow and found it to be a rather pleasing sight, which greatly improved my mood.

It was a pity that Ashton was busy or I would’ve dragged him down for a snowball fight.

With that thought in mind, I started rolling snowballs. Due to the thick layer of snow, I managed to make a whole mountain of them.

Then, I found a spot and began throwing the snowballs to alleviate my boredom.

The thin layer of snow on the tree branches fell to the ground as I threw the snowballs, painting a rather bleak scene.

When Marcus came outside, I was having quite a lot of fun throwing snowballs at the trees so that the snow would fall off its branches.

I never expected him to come out from under the archway and right in front of the snowball that had just left my hand, which unsurprisingly hit him right in his face.

My heart missed a beat and I hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“It’s windy out here. You might catch a cold if you stay too long.” His handsome face was cold and indifferent, so much so that I couldn’t read his emotions as I looked at his stiff posture through the snowflakes that were caught in my lashes.

As he spoke, he draped a large coat over my shoulders. “Let’s go in. It’s cold outside.”

I was stunned for a split second, but nodded blankly and turned to go back in.
