In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 408

When Ashton saw that she was alright, he said, “That’s enough. Go home!”

“Hmph!” Rebecca sneered. “How long do you think you can continue to keep this from her?”

I looked to Ashton, confused. “Is there something I should know about?”

The man seemed distant when his gaze fell upon Rebecca. He then turned to Joseph who had just settled things on the other front. “Send Ms. Larson home.”

The other man nodded, but Rebecca pushed him away when he tried to put a hand on her. “Do you think no one else is going to talk just because I won’t?”

She turned to regard me scathingly. “You’re a pathetic idiot—being happy and contented when everyone’s taking you for a ride.”

“Get her out of here!” Anger permeated Ashton’s voice.

Joseph got a hold of Rebecca in an attempt to have her forcibly removed.

I looked into her wild eyes and asserted myself, “Let her speak.”

I approached and pushed Joseph off her. “What was it you wanted to say?”

Rebecca replied with a smirk, “Ask your husband. You are going to love the surprise if you got it straight from him.”

“What’s going on here?” I asked Ashton.

“I’ll tell you when we get back!” He rubbed his forehead in fluster.

The man pulled me into the elevator and prepared to take me away.

Hesitantly, I stood my ground.

He did not look pleased. “Let’s go home first, alright?”

I paused momentarily before I followed him in.

I waited by the hospital’s entrance while Ashton went to fetch the car from the parking lot, all the while preoccupied with thoughts about what I was being kept in the dark about.

My phone then chimed a couple of times in a row. Messages had come in, with attachments.

They were from an unknown number, and the first opened to reveal a photo of a baby.
