In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 730

Leedon nodded and shared, “We ate them. Mr. Campbell gave us a big bag. Don’t worry about us. We work in the orchard and get to eat the fruits regularly.”

I headed straight to Channing’s office. I was at the door and could hear laughter drifting out from the room.

“Rachel, you have a glib tongue. I have not laughed so much in a long time.” It was Channing’s voice.

“Mr. Oberick, you have flattered me. It is an honor for me to get to chat with you. I am thankful you enjoyed my company.” Her words brought more laughter. Without a doubt, Rachel was much better than me when it came to socializing.

I was about to knock on the door when I heard Channing said, “Ashton, I was too sick to travel to your wedding when you and Rachel got married.”

He fished out a pretty box from his pocket and handed it to Rachel. “Rachel, this is a small gift from me. Before I went to fight in the war in Venria, my wife gave this to me and I had kept them since. It is a bracelet. I gift it to you now. Please take it.”

Rachel was surprised and delighted. She looked to Ashton, seeking his consent to accept the gift.

Ashton was also caught off-guard by this gesture of Channing. He came around and held the box. “Mr. Oberick, we appreciate your generosity. This bracelet was from your late wife. It is too precious. I cannot accept this gift.”

Mr. Oberick was a little displeased he rejected the gift. “Who said it is for you? I am giving this to George’s granddaughter-in-law. Take your hands off. Let Rachel take it.”

He took the bracelet from the box and put it on Rachel’s wrist. “Rachel, from now on, have a blessed life with this rascal.”

Rachel was not expecting this gift. She looked to Ashton, confused.

Ashton was frowning slightly. However, when he saw Channing was happy, he kept quiet, so as not to dampen the joyful moment.

I did not want to interrupt the conversation, so I turned around to leave.

“Mrs. Fuller, you are here.” Joseph was standing behind me, a tray of fruit in hand.

I was taken by surprise. I took a moment to recover from the shock before mumbling, “Oh, you went to cut the fruit?” He nodded.

We attracted the attention of those in the room, and they turned to look at us.

“Hello, Scarlett! I heard you went to harvest the fruit and had a fall. Are you alright?” Since Channing already saw me, I could not turn around to leave anymore.
