In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 78

Stunned, I was about to shake my head when Mrs. Erikson winked at me. She continued, “Having cramps suck. You can’t exert yourself during the first three months. Otherwise, you might risk having a miscarriage.”

Ashton was about to head upstairs to work, but Mrs. Eriksen called out, “Mr. Ashton, it’s painful to have cramps. You should give her a massage later. I bought some essential oil earlier. It’s in your bedroom.”

I must admit Mrs. Eriksen was doing a good job as a wingman.

Ashton put his files down and gazed at me. “Does it hurt?”

I belatedly realized he was asking if the cramps hurt.

Mrs. Eriksen was nodding profusely at me, so I nodded and forced out a smile. “Yes!”

Frowning, Ashton uttered, “Come on!”

As he went straight to the bedroom, I stared at Mrs. Eriksen. “Mrs. Eriksen, I don’t have cramps.”

I had other symptoms, but having cramps wasn’t one of them.

Mrs. Eriksen shot me an exasperated look. “It doesn’t matter. You’ll have that when you’re five or six months along. Hurry, go back to your bedroom now.”

My legs felt like lead as I made my way back to the bedroom. Ashton was taking a shower in the bathroom.

Looking around, I noticed a bottle of essential oil on the bedside table. I couldn’t believe it. Mrs. Eriksen was indeed full of tricks!

I was gone for a few days but luckily, Ashton wasn’t cruel enough to throw my clothes away.

He stepped out of the bathroom soon, his hair dripping wet. The water trailed down his naked chest, reaching his waist wrapped in a towel.

“Take a shower!” he ordered, interrupting my thoughts.

I swiveled my head around and met his gaze wordlessly. Feeling guilty, I looked away and scurried into the bathroom.

The shower was loud, but I could still hear the noise from the bedroom. I thought the ringtone I heard was from Ashton’s phone, but he was holding my phone to his ear when I came out of the bathroom.

I went to him. “Who is on the phone?”

He said nothing and gave my phone to me coolly.

Glancing at the screen, I saw Nick’s name and frowned.
