In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 51

Maybe because of my guilty conscience, I stiffened. Sensing it, Ashton became more cautious.

After listening to the recording about him and Rebecca, I began to resist him.

He turned, but…

After a long time, he got out of bed and changed into his pajamas. Walking to the balcony, he stood there for a smoke.

Lying in bed, there was a mysterious feeling creeping into my heart.

Following suit, I walked to him. Wrapping my arms around him, I pressed my body against his back. “Let’s go back to the bathroom and try again.”

I could feel him stiffen as he stubbed his cigarette out. He turned around, and with some hostility in his voice, he asked, “When did it start?”

I was stunned. Did he mean how I was rejecting him?

Lowering my head, I gritted my teeth and uttered, “Maybe after the miscarriage…”

His relationship with Rebecca will always be like a knife lodged in my heart. Even as time passed, the wound only festers.

Taking a long look at me, he pushed past me and commented, “I’ll wait in the study room.”

Instinctively, I grabbed his arm. I pleaded, “Did you buy over Macy’s bar for Rebecca? Macy was framed. Can you help me?”

I knew he would be furious if I asked him now. After all, I did not satisfy him, but I could not delay the question any longer.

He lowered his gaze and matched mine. His eyes narrowed, and he scoffed coldly, “Did you come back because of that?”

Startled by the look in his eyes, I fervently shook my head and denied, “No, I…”

“You wanted to persuade me with your body. Is that why you allowed me to do whatever I wanted to you?” He chuckled and mocked me, “Scarlett, don’t you even realize that you are no longer attracted to me?”

I shook my head. Regardless, while his words made me flustered, he was right.

Staring back at him, I choked, “Ashton, you have Rebecca and many other friends. However, I have no one else but Macy. Please, I beg you.”

“Haha!” He sneered, “You don’t have anything but Macy? Scarlett, what a surprise!”

He was evidently livid. However, I had no other solution for this.

If I had another way out, I would never have asked him. Unfortunately, he was my only way of helping Macy.

Grasping his hand, I looked away from his furious gaze. I bit my lips, and with tears in my eyes, I apologized, “Ashton, I can only plead with you. I’m sorry.”
