In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 779

I was stunned for a moment. “There is some resemblance between you and her. No wonder he’s still holding onto you. Well, I guess he can’t be bothered to pay attention to me because I’m the total opposite of you two,” Rachel continued.

Does she mean Rebecca?

I was not usually a fan of bitter flavor, including coffee. I wrapped my hand around the coffee mug that was served in front of me, stirred it slightly, and listened intently without lifting my head.

“Don’t you ever wonder why I asked you out all of a sudden?” she asked eagerly after she saw no response from me.

“Why?” I muttered and raised my head.

She let out a chuckle. “You seem pretty calm, huh?”

I remained silent and continued to stir my coffee.

“You know, I’ve always wondered about your marriage,” she remarked after a moment of silence. “I mean, who could have guessed that a nobody like you can stay beside Ashton for so many years? But after I saw the lost daughter of the Moore family, I totally get it. You are just a mere substitute! Rebecca Larson must be his first love, but it seems like things did not turn out as he wished.”

She continued after a pause, “In fact, I have no complaints if she were his wife. In terms of looks and figure, I definitely beat her. Yet, her parents were the best in the world, hands down. The fact that she came from a very prestigious family makes her the perfect match for Ashton. You, however, are questionable. I’m obviously better than you in every aspect. And worse, you have zero family background.”

I pursed my lips silently and started to mull over a matter of fact that I had simply overlooked. After all these years, the Moores knew the truth behind Rebecca’s birth, but they never made that story public as there were too many risks to bear.

Perhaps they wanted to make it up to her even after she left the family.

I guessed Rachel must have dug up some information regarding the woman.
