In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 525

“Nothing.”

It was getting dark. The banquet took place in the hotel after the ceremony.

It seemed that Emery was the one who gathered the crowd to witness Ashton’s proposal. Actually, I preferred a simple love to a passionate one.

The wedding was very grand and the guests were all prominent figures of the city. All of them were greeting and toasting each other.

After witnessing the proposal, the others were curious about my identity. Previously, Ashton tried his best to protect my privacy when the scandals broke out.

It was hard not to attract the other guests’ attention when the Moore family and Ashton Fuller kept focusing on me.

The spotlights shone brightly, pointing toward Ashton and me. I unwittingly lowered my head.

Ashton whispered in my ear. “Are you nervous?”

“There’re a lot of people watching us.” I pretended to be collected, but my emotions were rioting inside.

“The banquets held by the Moore family are always grand. Don’t worry. We have to face it anyway.”

I nodded in response. He held my hand all the time when some guests approached us. I was rather awkward when they addressed me as “Ms. Stovall.”

I smiled in response. After a while, my face became stiffened.

We were seated at a table full of exquisite dishes.

It was a table for sixteen. Emery was busy serving the guests, along with Cameron and Zachary.

Robert took a seat beside me, followed by Louis. Upon seeing us, Louis waved his hand and beckoned me over.

“Scarlett, come here.”

I was not good at socializing. I instinctively looked at Ashton. The latter patted on my hand and said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”

I walked toward Louis and he gestured for me to sit down. “Mr. Fuller, meet my daughter, Scarlett.”

Robert nodded with a smile on his face. “I’ve met her. Emery said she’s the daughter of the Moore family. How come she’s your daughter now?” Robert was confused.

Louis gave a laugh. “It’s fate. I like this girl, so I took her in.”

Robert nodded and smiled. “I see. She’s so blessed!”

Everyone burst out laughing. I curled my lips upward but didn’t find it amusing at all.

Based on my understanding, being blessed meant having a peaceful, happy life. I don’t think so, though. I merely have good tolerance.

Emery approached me and whispered, “Scarlett, come with me. I’m going to the hotel room to get changed. I’m not comfortable in this outfit.”

It seemed that she had toasted all the guests, so she wanted to get changed. I nodded in agreement as I wasn’t comfortable in my outfit too.
