In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 67

“Ms. Larson, you’re not me. How would you know that’s not what I want?” I couldn’t hold back any longer. After all, Jared was listening to them as well. Stepping into Ashton’s office, I shot Rebecca an icy glare. “Ms. Larson, even if my husband does not love me, we now have a child together. That means we’re a true family. You might be clueless, but not all couples love each other.”

Both Rebecca and Ashton were shocked at my sudden appearance. She swiftly retorted, “Do you seriously think you can make him stay with your child?”

I gave her a nod. “I wasn’t sure if I could, but after seeing your reaction, I think I’ve succeeded. After all, my child and I come first instead of you, Ms. Larson.”

Ashton’s expression soured at my words. I ignored him and continued, “Of course, you’re shameless enough to stay by his side. Perhaps after I’ve given birth, he might be bored at home and want to experience something different. By then, you will have the chance to provide him a fresh experience.”

“Pfft!” Fits of laughter could be heard coming from the entrance. As it turned out, Joe and Nick were standing at the door.

Stifling his laughter, Nick drawled out, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but you were so loud. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.”

Joe glared at me, seemingly enraged. He went to Ashton and handed him a file. “You can have your own family, but you shouldn’t have allowed someone like Scarlett to insult her!”

With that, he dragged Rebecca away.

I stood in their way and stared at Joe icily. “Mr. Quinn, someone like me? What do you mean?”

“You’re selfish, despicable, and heartless!” he replied immediately.

Nodding, I flashed a mocking smile. “Thank you for your detailed answer. Then what is the woman you fancy like?”

Ignoring their expressions, I added with a grin, “Once a b*tch, forever a b*tch. Ms. Larson might seem nice enough to make you forget she’s a homewrecker. But the truth is, she has forced the wife to abort her baby and framed someone for possessing drugs. Are her actions forgivable because she looks delicate and weak?”

“Scarlett, stop spouting nonsense!” Rebecca blurted out angrily.

I cocked my eyebrows at her. “Desperate much?”

“Enough!” Ashton finally spoke up. He glanced at Joe and ordered him, “Send her back home! Don’t let her come here again.”
