In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 723

On the other hand, I was lost in my thoughts. Channing mentioned Grandma just now. Maybe he knows her?

Although I had a lot of questions, I squelched the urge to ask them in the end. When will Nora take me to visit Channing privately?

My intention was not to get on his good side. Rather, I was curious about my Grandma’s past as I thought she had always lived in R Province.

However, it was strange that she knew George. Not to mention, she always carried a mysterious and exquisite box with her. Seeing as even the Oberick family in A City knew her, it was highly likely that Grandma was not from R Province.

“Scarlett!” Leedon had been calling out to me quite a few times now. He pulled on my arm and said, “Channing is talking to you!”

I paused for a while before gazing at Ashton. His dark eyes were directed at me with his lips pursed.

Channing was holding back his laughter as he glanced at me with his gentle eyes. “This lady here blanked out!”

I immediately got up to bow and apologize. “I didn’t mean to, Mr. Oberick. I’m so sorry!”

Channing burst out laughing. “It’s fine, it’s fine. You young ins prefer a more cheerful atmosphere. I get it! Eating with an old man like me is indeed quite boring.”

My face turned red as the awkwardness consumed me. Before I could explain to Channing, Ashton interrupted and uttered, “She has always been like this. Pay no mind to her, Mr. Oberick.”

Channing glared at me with a smile on his face and replied, “This lady here seems rather familiar to me. I’m not sure where I’ve seen her before.”

“Mr. Oberick, I heard that you are quite fond of tea bowls. I’ve brought a set of tea bowls from K City as a gift to you. Please have a look if you like them or not.”

At that moment, all eyes in the room were drawn to the tea bowls.

Rachel’s tea bowls looked delicate and refined. Any old man with a love for antique tea sets would be very happy to receive them.

Everyone started gathering around the antique tea set and was chatting fervently with each other.

Leedon moved his chair closer to mine and queried, “Are you close to Mr. Fuller?”

I paused for a second before shaking my head. “Why?”

“Nothing. It’s just that he seems to be staring at you most of the time!” He grinned. “Mr. Fuller tends to be cold toward others. It’s rare to see him direct his attention all on one person. Besides, he already has such a beauty beside him!”

I smiled in response.
