In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 514

He added, “Scarlett, we’re broken souls. Fate has brought us together and our lives are intertwined, and my life is not mine alone but shared with you. We’re meant to be together.”

His gaze was soft. “Here.” He pointed at his chest. “You’re the only one who has ever been here.”

I pursed my lips and let out a long sigh. We shouldn’t get sucked into the past.

Rising to my feet, I told him, “Ashton, I wish to be left alone.”

Suddenly, I realized I couldn’t bear to hate Cameron. She was my mother, and her actions stemmed from Ashton.

If Rebecca wasn’t the one who returned to the Moore family, everything wouldn’t have happened.

Rebecca, Cameron, and Ashton were all innocent.

Everyone merely took action out of overbearing concern for their loved ones. It was a misfortune for everyone, so even though we were all hurt in many ways, we couldn’t bring ourselves to despise each other.

Ashton wanted to say something, but I pushed him away. We shouldn’t delve into the past or risk hating everyone involved.

I went back in the bedroom, I locked Ashton outside.

He stood outside silently.

I didn’t know where to vent my frustration. In the end, I could only blame myself for kicking up a fuss over nothing.

That very night, it snowed just like the weather forecast had predicted.

I sat on the balcony and watched the snow the whole night while my heart ached silently.

I knew I should move on, but the past would still haunt me when no one was around.

It was midnight when my phone started ringing incessantly. I had nodded off on the balcony. Picking my phone up, I realized it was Joseph.

Why is he calling me at midnight?

I answered his call. Before I could say anything, he spoke hastily, “Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Fuller is at the yard of Moore Residence. Can you please come and convince him to leave?”

Huh? Why is Ashton at the Moore Residence?

After a pause, I asked, “What happened?”

He hesitated, seemingly stumped. “Mr. Fuller wants to atone for his sins and came to the Moore Residence. He’s been here for a few hours. It’s snowing heavily, so I’m afraid of his health.”

My nose started prickling uncomfortably as I didn’t know what to say. Some memories were best left untouched lest they bring harm to someone else.

“Okay, I’ll be there!” I promised.
