In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 315

John then turned to glare at Ashton. “Shouldn’t you be getting a rest too, Mr. Fuller?” he mocked.

Ashton smiled. “I’ve always been healthy, you know.”

John stormed off, infuriated. The moment he left, Ashton squinted at me. “Where’s the prescription?”

I pursed my lips and gripped the prescription tighter. “There is none,” I replied calmly. “The doctor told me to have a lot of rest and drink plenty of water.”

“Scarlett,” he emphasized.

Annoyed, I left the hospital without saying a thing. He followed me into the car and put the matter of the prescription aside. “Joe invited you to South Metro for a meal. Are you going?”

I was going to say no, but I paused. “Why did he invite me?”

Ashton started the car. “For the thing we discussed over the call last time.”

I was surprised to hear that. So he’s going to apologize?

There was a saying that a man’s love could be measured by how his friends treat you. I considered it for a moment and nodded. “Sure, I’ll go.”

It was still early when we came to South Metro. I thought we had come too early, so I asked, “Don’t you think it’s a bit early?”

He nodded. “Yeah. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner you get to rest.”

Right…

When I saw the trio in the room, I felt like laughing. I looked at Ashton. “I thought this is supposed to be an apology. Didn’t think it’d be a trap.”

A frown creased Ashton’s forehead, and he narrowed his eyes at Joe. “What is the meaning of this?”

Joe stood up and fidgeted. “Ashton, it’s been a while since Rebecca could go around since her hospitalization. She’s just here with us. I’m sorry for not telling you about this, but I promise it’ll be fine.”

Jared sipped his tea, pulling himself away from the drama. Ashton glanced at Rebecca calmly. He didn’t care if she was putting up a pitiable front, and he looked at me. “You still want to do this?”
