In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 788

The taste of the cheese filled my mouth from the very first bite. “It’s delicious. Won’t you have a bite?”

She shook her head and rubbed her stomach. “I can’t eat anymore. I just had steak with Armond earlier. Besides, cheese is super high in calories. I don’t want to get fat!”

“You’re not fat for your height,” I teased.

Nora pursed her lips. “Of course, you would say that since you’re lighter than me.”

I laughed but did not antagonize her further.

She cast a glance around and realized that Ashton was not present. “Shouldn’t Ashton be back by now?”

I nodded. “He has a dinner appointment. He will be back late.”

She grunted. “Looks like the wife of the president has to learn to deal with solitude once in a while.”

I felt satiated after consuming a block of cheese. Then, I stood up and poured her some water.

“You had steak today, didn’t you?” I asked, recalling her earlier remark.

Nora nodded as she squinted at me. “What’s up with your arm?”

I followed her gaze and realized to my horror that my arm was covered in dense red rashes.

She pulled my arm, suddenly frightened. “It’s all over your face too!”

I was terrified to discover that they were not just on my face, but also on my legs and everywhere else.

My eyes met Nora’s. “Is this an allergic reaction?” we said in unison.

“Are you allergic to cheese or matcha?” Nora studied me intently.

I shook my head. I’d always indulged in those but I never had a reaction like this.

“What else have you had?” Nora persisted.

“Hairy crabs!” I cried in realization.

“You’re allergic to seafood?”

I shook my head. “No, it was impossible. I had them just yesterday.”

I didn’t have the time to overthink. Nora dashed out to the yard and shouted, “Armond, Scarlett looks like she’s having an allergic reaction. Hurry over and we’ll take her to the hospital.”
