In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 445

The moment I gave Aston a call, it was picked up almost instantly. The man on the other end of the line asked, “Are you busy?”

I stuffed the clothes we had changed out of into the washing machine. After all, the cemetery was built on a hill and there were muddy stains on our clothes.

“I brought Summer out for a walk with me.” Halfway through the call, I heard noises coming from the bedroom.

Thus, I walked over to check on Summer because she seemed to have roused from her sleep.

“Do you have anything on your schedule in the afternoon?” Ashton asked.

“Perhaps I’ll take a stroll around.” Summer was indeed awake. She sat on the bed, playing with the lamp on the nightstand.

When she saw me, she called out, “Mommy, I’m hungry!”

I nodded and told Ashton, “I need to make Summer something to eat. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Sure,” he replied in a gentle tone.

After hanging up the call, someone rang the doorbell. I thought it was the food I had ordered, but I saw Jackson the moment I opened the door.

He showed up with a bunch of different things. As it took me some time to answer the door, he asked, “Were you sleeping?”

“No. Why are you here when you’re supposed to be working?”

He brought the things he had into the kitchen and heaved a long sigh. “How am I supposed to work when I know there’s nothing in your refrigerator? I can’t possibly allow you and the child to starve, can I?”

He was spot on because Summer had wrapped her arms around his leg, stating she was hungry.

He showed her the desert he bought her and offered, “Why don’t you finish this while I make you something to eat?”

Once he dealt with Summer, he looked at me in the eyes and queried, “Where have you been?”

As I helped him put the things he bought into the refrigerator, I told him, “I dropped by the cemetery. Ironically, I ran into Jared and Kristina.”

I hesitated for a short while but decided to tell him the truth after much consideration. “Kristina seems to be pregnant.”

Jackson paused before turning around and asked with a frown, “She’s pregnant with Jared’s child?”

“Maybe?” I shrugged and replied with a rhetorical question because I wasn’t sure either.

He looked at Summer and said in a hushed voice, “I want you to keep Summer’s existence a secret.”

I pursed my lips. “There’s a possibility that he has already figured out her identity. After all, Summer sort of resembles him in terms of look.”

“So what? As long as you keep him in the dark and deny it, he won’t be able to bring her away!” Jackson was getting slightly worked up. “If it wasn’t because of Kristina, Macy wouldn’t have passed on due to hemorrhage!”

Summer was munching away at the food Jackson bought her in silence because she was famished.

Since Jackson was there, there wasn’t anything much for me to do in the kitchen. After a moment, I received a text from Ashton. Ashton: It’s raining in K City. Is it raining on your end? Remember to bring an umbrella with you if you’re heading out.

I found him adorable and couldn’t help but smiled. Scarlett: Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.
