In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 787

I discreetly exited the bedroom and headed towards Ashton’s room. The door to his room was left wide open, and his bed was neatly arranged. There were no signs of the man in that room.

I went downstairs and saw the caregiver preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She turned around when she heard some movement. “Ms. Stovall, you’re awake. Breakfast is ready, and they’re on the table. Feel free to dig in.”

I nodded and didn’t see anyone else around. “Did you see Mr. Fuller?”

She grinned, “Mr. Fuller had left in the early morning, saying he had something urgent to attend to in the city. He didn’t want to wake you up early, so he asked me to inform you that he will be having dinner with you tonight, so don’t be back too late.”

I nodded in silence. I presumed that he would be nervous about his project.

After breakfast, I strolled around the yard and saw Channing digging a patch there.

I greeted him as I approached, “Good morning, Mr. Oberick!”

He stopped digging when he saw me. “You’re awake. Have you had breakfast?”

I nodded and looked at what he was doing. “Mr. Oberick, are you planning to plant some flowers here?”

He laughed, “Fall is almost here. I want to plant some leek, so I could harvest them in the winter.”

Seeing that I was all alone, he asked, “Is Nora still asleep?”

I smiled and answered, “Let her sleep in a while longer. She slept late last night.”

He sighed, “She doesn’t sleep at night and doesn’t wake up in the morning.”

His affection could be heard in his tone, despite his grumbling.

It was already late evening when they arrived at the city from Lavelian Village. Armond, who was waiting by the villa’s entrance, glared at Nora. He was waiting to have dinner with her.

I returned to the villa as well. Ashton had mentioned in the morning that we would have dinner together. Hence, I figured it would be best if I prepared it myself.

There were many fresh ingredients in the fridge.

After half a day of preparation, three dishes and a soup were done. I glanced at my phone and called Ashton.

He didn’t pick up his phone despite me calling him multiple times, so I decided to text him instead.

I looked at the time, and it was almost eight, but I didn’t hear any car coming back. Thus, I called him again, but still, no one picked up.

With that, I decided to call Joseph. He picked up the call after the phone rang for a few seconds. “Mrs. Fuller!”

“Joseph, is Ashton with you?”
