In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 329

I raised my eyebrows. “Bingo!”

Seeing my reaction, he hesitated before saying, “Letty, you really don’t care for your biological parents?”

I glanced at him again and frowned. “You’ve mentioned this at least a few times. Wasn’t I clear enough? They’ve abandoned me, so that means they no longer wanted me. If I keep thinking about this, I can’t move on. Why not let go and move on?”

He nodded, seemingly preoccupied.

My car came to a stop at John’s villa. I turned my head and realized he was deep in thought.

It took him a while to snap back to reality. “Letty, do you still hate me?” he asked in a serious manner.

I was taken aback. “Huh?”

“About Macy, and how I tortured you.” His voice grew softer. This is unlike him.

My mouth snapped shut as my expression darkened. “John, that’s in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”

“So? Do you still hate me?”

As he insisted on getting an answer like a stubborn child, I was astonished. “It’s over. Besides, it was just a harmless threat. But for Macy, the painful memory would remain with her forever.”

Humans were complicated beings. I used to fear John, but now I relied on him as though he was my family. To a certain extent, I was very much like Sally, placing profits before feelings.

After a long silence, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “One day, if you found out I did something to harm you, will you forgive me?”

My eyes widened at his sudden question. “What did you do? Why would you need me to forgive you?”

He pressed on, “Will you?”

As he refused to answer my question, I pouted and responded, “Well, it depends on how outrageously wrong you are. John, you know me better than I do. I won’t forgive you if you go past my bottom line. So, don’t do anything to harm me. Let’s be siblings forever, alright?”

He reached his hand out and pulled me into his arms. “Mm, we’ll be siblings forever. Your parents aren’t with you, but you have me and Uncle Louis. We’ll be your family forever.”
