In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 376

When the phone buzzed in the room, Summer turned towards the direction of the noise and listened intently in a curious manner.

I did not bother picking up the call. “Ashton, your phone is ringing!” I yelled towards the kitchen.

“Pick it up!” he answered curtly as the sound of splashing water echoed from the kitchen.

I glanced towards his phone and noticed Rebecca’s name flashing across the screen.

Instinctively, a frown graced my face when I caught sight of her name. Once I answered her call, I was instantly greeted by her loud wails that echoed across the phone.

“Ash, you should come to visit me. I don’t know why my mother insists on me staying in the hospital. Why isn’t she letting me return to Pear Garden? Do you think that she doesn’t want me anymore?” Rebecca sobbed in anguish.

Cameron doesn’t want Rebecca back in Pear Garden? Why not?

“Ms. Larson, I suggest you contact Mr. Quinn for your problems. That would be more appropriate. Right now, your beloved Ash is cooking for his daughter and wife. I’m sure that he does not have the spare time to handle your affairs,” I said coldly.

Upon hearing my voice, Rebecca’s mood seemed to take a drastic turn. “Why did you pick up Ashton’s phone? Scarlett, do you have no shame?”

Gosh, this woman has a rotten mouth. It seems that anything that comes out of her is malicious.

“Why can’t I pick up the call on my husband’s behalf? You don’t think you share an intimate relationship with my husband, do you? By the way, you should take this opportunity to reflect upon your actions—even your parents detest you! Don’t harass my family and me anymore!”

“Scarlett, you…”

I ended the call before she could finish her sentence. There was no point continuing when I knew that she would be cussing me out.

I tossed Ashton’s phone aside as soon as I hung up the call. Before I could react, I was enveloped in a back hug.

“Say it again,” Ashton’s magnetic voice sounded.

There was a hint of oil and smoke that clung to his body. However, the smell did not affect his charming presence. “What do you want me to say?”

“What did you call me just now?” he asked in a deep voice.

His question left me stunned for a moment. “Husband?”

Ashton laughed delightedly as his stubble rubbed against my cheek when he kissed me. “One more time,” he demanded.

“Aren’t you going to help Rebecca?” I asked him with an angry huff and pushed him off my body.

“I thought you asked her to look for Joe? Why do I have to go to her still?” Ashton said with an amused grin.

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in exasperation. “Has Cameron been neglecting Rebecca?” I asked while I walked towards the crib to gaze at Summer.
