In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 775

His handsome features seemed even more pronounced under the streetlights. But underneath it, I could see traces of fatigue.

“Mr. White, what a coincidence!” I greeted him.

With both his hands in his pocket, he looked right at me. “Not a coincidence. I was looking for you.”

I felt neither surprised nor threatened. Instead, there was something amusing about this situation. “What an honor.”

“Seems like you don’t miss me as much?”

I kept silent, hoping he would get the hint.

After a long, awkward pause, he continued, “I don’t have any motives. I just came here to check if you’re doing ok.”

“Thanks for your concern. I’m doing fine.”

My curt response seemed to have affected Marcus. He wore a forlorn smile. “I’ll wait for you, even if it means waiting for the rest of my life. If not this life, then the next. But next time around, let me be the one to meet you first.”

Right then, a black Maybach parked beside his car. The rear window came down, revealing a person who was looking placidly in our direction.

I forced my attention back to the conversation. “Mr. White, the same old words. Don’t waste your life waiting for me. I have a great career and family; I’m happy with what I have. Your advances would only trouble me, including those things you do for me without my knowledge. Besides Ashton, I really don’t want any other man to be thinking of me in this manner.”

Marcus let out a bitter laugh. “You didn’t even hesitate the slightest bit, huh? If you’re so loyal to him, why did you leave K City to come here? Scarlett, what exactly are you thinking?”

How do I explain this?
