In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 601

“So, Mr. Fuller, what’s special about the festive season in J City?” Cameron inquired as she smiled awkwardly.

“Nothing much. Just the usual.” He replied casually.

Cameron was dumbfounded.

Zachary placed some vegetables onto Cameron’s plate, hinting for her to focus on her meal instead.

The room went silent as Ashton seemed to be troubled by something.

Ashton was able to move about independently already – probably because he wanted to return to K City. Meanwhile, Cameron and Zachary left for their accommodation.

I stayed with Ashton while he called Joseph to hand over some work to him.

I sat there waiting for half an hour before his call ended.

He furrowed his brows as he hung up the call.

He took over the book in my hand, glanced at me, and said, “Joseph got the best ointment. It should get better within a few days.”

As I felt his gaze landed on my face, I realized he was referring to the scars on my face.

I shook my head lightly and gave a slight smile. “It’s okay. No big deal.”

He lifted his hands while his gaze softened.

I held his hands and informed him, “The doctor will be changing the prescription in a bit, and you can sleep after that.”

He let out a light chuckle and pulled me into his embrace. “Don’t worry. I’m almost fully recovered.”

How could I not worry? Even though the scar was on his back, it was too huge for me to ignore.

As I recalled what happened that afternoon, my gaze turned onto him, and I asked, “Are you still worried about Jared?”

He fell into a daze for a moment and shook his head lightly. “No. I’ve talked to the prison side, and I’m assured that there wouldn’t be any problems.”

I nodded in understanding and suggested, “If you are still unable to accept Cameron and Zachary, I can keep my distance from them.”

He furrowed his brows and seemed a little surprised. “Why the sudden thought?”

How should I put it?

After giving it some thought, I elaborated, “Even though the Moore family was not directly involved in Naomi’s incident, it still happened because of them. I understand your bitterness towards them, and I don’t wish to make our lives more difficult, hence the suggestion.”
