In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 70

At his words, my mind started wandering how did he know about this…

Soon, we arrived at Peakville Estate. I helped him down when we reached his house. It took a while for someone to answer the door, and it was a senior.

When he saw how drunk Nick was, he exclaimed, “Oh, Nick. Why are you so drunk? Thank you for bringing him home.”

I smiled politely and left Nick with him.

I wanted to walk back home, but Peakville Estate was a large residential area. Every villa had its own compound, so it would take me a long time to reach home.

Hence, I drove Nick’s car back home.

It was already midnight when I reached home. As I had to wake up early tomorrow, I parked the car downstairs. After that, I prepared to wash up before going to bed.

Alas, I saw Ashton waiting outside the door with a flickering cigarette between his fingers.

Frowning, I wondered why he was suddenly smoking outside.

At the sight of me, he put out his cigarette and glared at me. “Where have you been?”

“I had dinner with a friend.” I brushed past him and entered the villa.

He pulled my hand and brought me into his arms. The heavy stench of cigarette smoke burned my lungs. “Ashton!”

“Who did you have dinner with? Did you drink wine even though you’re pregnant?” he rasped.

The alcohol stench must be from Nick.

I felt uncomfortable in his arms, so I shoved him away. “I didn’t drink any wine!”

All I wanted was to sleep, but Ashton refused to back off. He pulled me to the Maybach and demanded, “This is a limited edition model. Scarlett, you’ve found your next target, huh?”

What the f*ck?

I nearly cursed out loud and pushed him away. At his dejected expression, my anger heightened. “Ashton, please don’t judge me with that narrow mindset of yours. I’m not you, who has plenty of backups waiting for you.”

With that, I spun on my heels and returned to the bedroom.

After locking the door, I washed up and went to bed.

I fell asleep in no time.
