In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 441

Should I go back? Is it too early?

Seeing that I had fallen silent, Joseph took that as a sign that I refused to return. Sighing, he said, “Mrs. Fuller, who’s going to feel the pain if Summer falls down?”

Startled, I glanced at the man who was driving seriously and said, “Although we’re not biologically related, we have spent the last four years together. She’s a significant part of my life. It hurts me to see her suffering in pain.”

He brought the car to a halt when the traffic light turned red. Staring at me in the eyes, he asked, “Then, can you imagine the sort of pain he has to go through over the past four years? Mr. Fuller was afraid you would be irked by his presence. In order to oppress his affection for you, he spent most of his time working and getting himself drunk.”

Halfway through his orated speech, Joseph paused. “On the first winter you left, he passed out on the streets in the middle of the night. As a result, he caught a high fever. However, he said he had the best time of his life because you showed up with a bright grin in his dream.

“He was the person in charge of Fuller Corporation by day, yet he would turn into a drunkard when night falls. His intestine started bleeding internally as a result. If he couldn’t get himself drunk, he would approach me and ask me if he should approach you just to keep an eye on you. As soon as he sobered up the next day, he would become the indifferent man again.

“Undeniably, he did a great job keeping his emotions to himself, but at the end of the day, he’s but a human. He suffers from mental breakdowns as well. Mrs. Fuller, you should move on from the past and appreciate your future with him. Since you have a thing for him, why don’t you stop torturing yourself and Mr. Fuller?”

I was in a state of bewilderment when the traffic light turned green. It was a surprise since an outsider had brought up everything about Ashton in front of me.

Perhaps Joseph’s right. The past is in the past.

After picking up Summer, I brought her back to the yard.

Prior to his departure, Joseph peered into my eyes with his lips pursed. “Mr. Fuller will be heading back to K City tonight.”

With that, he departed immediately.

I decided to send Ashton a simple message, wishing him a safe flight.

Seconds after I dropped him the text message, he called and asked in a gentle tone, “Have you had dinner?”

He seemed to be boarding the plane soon. Nodding, I looked up and gazed at the pitch-black sky. “Yes.”

“I’ll be back soon. Take good care of yourself when I’m away. And don’t forget to have your meal on time,” he replied in a hushed voice.

Through the phone, I heard the announcement urging him to board the plane. Immediately, I said, “I’ll talk to you soon! See you!”

“Okay!”
