In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 69

Both he and his car were ostentatious. The moment the car rolled to a stop, young ladies stared and tittered while young men took photos of his car enviously.

“Tacky!” I commented and got off his car.

Looking around, I inquired, “What do you want for dinner?”

He responded with a smirk, “You decide.”

After surveying the available restaurants, I entered a French restaurant without hesitation. Nick trailed behind me and teased, “Scarlett, you’re quite the romantic.”

I couldn’t be bothered to reply. I had chosen this restaurant because I didn’t want to be ogled by others.

Inside, the server greeted us, “Table for two? We have a couple set today. Would you like to order that?”

“Sure, we’ll take that, and a bottle of wine, please.” Nick ordered without thinking much.

I looked at the server and said, “I’d like a glass of fruit juice, please.”

After the server left, Nick grinned at me. “Scarlett, I forgot you can’t drink alcohol.”

He was doing it on purpose!

I stared at my phone as Ashton had just sent me a text: Where are you?

What a brief message!

I didn’t reply and locked my phone. Nick was gazing at me, so I furrowed my brows. “What is it?”

“Scarlett, has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity?” The server was serving our steak when Nick asked.

I thanked the server before answering, “Who?”

Surprised I’d acknowledge him, he straightened his back and replied in all seriousness. “Angelina Jolie!”

I nodded. “Yes. I used to get that a lot in university.”

My friends used to say that, but after I wore glasses, I rarely hear that anymore.

As I seemed arty with glasses, I no longer resembled her.

“Also, you resemble another person I know,” he said in all seriousness. I sliced my steak, thinking he was bored and trying to strike up a conversation.

“Mm!” I replied and focused on my steak.

He didn’t eat his food. Instead, he swirled his wine and commented, “You resemble my mother, especially your eyes. Both of you have similar eyes.”

He was annoying me at that point. Stuffing a piece of steak into my mouth, I glared at him. “I guess I have one of those faces. Someone told me I resembled Rebecca too!”
