In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 731

Leedon nodded and reminded me, “The path is muddy. Ride carefully. You wouldn’t want to get all dirty again.”

“Noted.”

The path leading from the base was indeed muddy, as Leedon had forewarned. Luckily, the weather was good in the morning and dried out the road a little, so I did not fall. I only got some mud stains on me.

The lunch was at the hotel at the visitor centre. I returned the bicycle and cleaned off the mud stain on my shoes and pants before heading to the hotel.

Just then, Nora called. “My dear, what are your plans for tonight?”

“I had a long day. I want to get a good night’s sleep later,” I replied.

“Tsk. What a waste of time!”

“What do you have in mind then?” I questioned her instead.

“Aren’t you working on a project at Lavelian Village? We decided to pop over and spend Valentine’s Day with you. There is a big field just behind Lavelian Village. We can camp there tonight, watch the sunrise in the morning, then spend the whole of tomorrow there. We already bought stuff for a barbeque tomorrow.” She sounded pleased with her plan.

“We?” I was curious.

“Armond, Linda, Tabitha, Laurel, Tessa, and you. We know you are busy at work, that’s why we chose Lavelian Village for our outing. We can have a get-together without affecting your work schedule. Oh, by the way, Tabitha’s fiancé is joining us too. This going to be fun!” she chirped.

After a pause, she whispered, “Do you want to invite Ashton to join us?”

“It is not necessary,” I declined. “What time will you be here?”

“Soon. In about an hour. Shall we have lunch together?”

I would actually prefer to meet them for lunch. However, since Ashton had arranged for a lunch meeting with Mr. Oberick, I could not commit. “We shall see. You go ahead with your plans. I will join you once I am done on my side.”

“Okay!”

“Oh, I dirtied my clothes, so please bring an extra set of clothing for me,” I requested.
