In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 736

The crowd which gathered around was perplexed, but I could anticipate Ashton’s next move.

He held on to Rachel, but his gaze was on me, cold and with disappointment.

“Ms. Fuller…” Rachel looked at him in bewilderment. The woeful look in her eyes could melt most hearts.

“This is yours, so wear it,” Ashton indulgently insisted in his deep, mellow voice. He put the bracelet on Rachel’s wrist, held on to her hand, and spoke tenderly, “This is a gift for you, so it’s yours. You don’t have to remove it if you don’t wish to.”

Rachel was caught off-guard by Ashton’s loving behavior. Her anger dissipated immediately, and she blushed girlishly. She was overjoyed.

“Ashton Fuller, you…” Nora was speechless with anger.

Armond, who had been quietly setting up the grill, walked over and pulled her away. “Don’t you want to watch the stars tonight? If you delay any further and it starts to rain, then all you get to watch will be cloud and lightning.” He took the knife from her and handed it to me. “Solve your own problem,” he solemnly uttered.

Me? What?

I looked around and felt everyone seemed to think I instigated Nora to create this scene. I wanted to defend myself, but on second thought, I kept my peace. I will only come across as being guilty if I try to defend myself.

I looked at Ashton blankly. Rachel arrogantly gave me the eye, showing off her bracelet triumphantly.

I pursed my lips, kept quiet, and went back to cut the remaining vegetables.

Everyone also resumed what they were doing. with the earlier incident weighing on their mind.

Laurel finished washing her vegetables and brought them to me. “Scarlett, did you not told us you are married? How did you get into this entanglement with Mr. Fuller?” she whispered.

She stole a glance at Armond and Nora. “Also, I always thought Armond was interested in you. When did he become so close to Nora? What has happened?” she probed.

Her curiosity amused me. “You bombarded me with so many questions. Which am I supposed to answer first?” I jested.

She thought about it and decided, “First, tell me, what is your relationship with Ashton Fuller?”
