In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 65

I sat in the bathtub, staring into space. My head was spinning as a dull ache throbbed uncomfortably in my heart.

We had seen each other naked many times, so I wasn’t embarrassed at all and allowed him to clean me.

Soon, steam filled the bathroom. My freezing body started to warm up.

He wrapped me up in a towel and brought me out. After helping me to put on clean pajamas, he began drying my hair.

None of us spoke to each other.

I closed my eyes and leaned back comfortably as exhaustion washed over me.

“Don’t fall asleep. Let me dry your hair first,” Ashton spoke. He was no longer furious.

I remained silent with my eyes shut.

The sound of the hairdryer whirring rang in my ears abruptly. It felt so warm and unrealistic to me.

“Scarlett!” Ashton called out my name after switching off the hairdryer.

My eyes snapped open in confusion.

He pulled me in for a warm hug before saying, “Let’s go down together!”

It was a command that left no room for discussion. Picking me up, he left the bedroom.

Downstairs, Rebecca had already showered, her hair half-dried. She was sitting in the living room with Joe next to her. Since when did Joe arrive?

Spotting me in Ashton’s arms, Rebecca’s gaze flashed with jealousy.

She jolted up and tugged at Ashton without hesitation. “Ash, are you going to abandon me?”

Her eyes were red and puffy, but she was wailing again.

I looked down and shut my eyes tiredly. Why did Ashton bring me downstairs?

To see them being intimate?

“Rebecca, stop it. Joe will give you a ride home,” said Ashton in displeasure.

Joe had the same idea. He offered, “Rebecca, I’ll drive you home.”
