In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 582

With that, he held my hand and brought me out of the house. The old man parted his mouth, seemingly wanted to say something, but no words came out.

After we were out of the Crest Residence, silence ensued all the way to the hotel.

When he turned off the engine, Ashton looked towards me and said, “It’s getting late. Rest well tonight. The Crest family is finding her. I’m sure Summer will be alright.”

I looked at him and felt angry suddenly. I got out of the car and went straight into the hotel.

The receptionist smiled and greeted, “Hi. How may I help you?”

“I’d like a room, please.” I put my credit card and my ID card on the counter.

However, she did not take my cards. Instead, she looked at Ashton who was standing behind me.

He came to my side and looked at the receptionist. “There’s no need for another room. I’ve booked a room for us.”

Apparently, his words were directed at me.

The receptionist smiled awkwardly and handed my cards back to me. “Miss, here are your cards.”

I frowned at her. “Why does a five-star hotel let customers check-in without their ID cards?”

Having heard what I said, she raised her eyebrows and looked towards Ashton, seeking help.

I gave her my cards and insisted, “Please give me a room as soon as possible.”

She hesitated for a moment before she finally yielded and proceeded with the registration process.

Ashton let me be and stayed silent at the side.

After taking the room key, I entered the elevator with him, and the silence went on.

Both of us knew that we held some resentment toward one another and that we should talk it out instead of shutting each other down. But still, neither of us was willing to speak now. Humans are bizarre sometimes.

When we reached my room, I entered first and stood at the door, stopping him from coming into my room.

Stuck in between the door, he scowled and looked at me with displeasure. “Scarlett, do you have to be like this?”

I stared back and said stubbornly, “Yes!”

With that, I pushed him out, slammed the door shut, and locked it immediately.
