In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 79

It felt so horrible when he ignored me.

He let out a snort and retorted, “Mad? Do you think you can cool me down?”

I fell silent at his words.

Mustering my courage, I sat up and leaned into his embrace clumsily.

Perhaps I was too heavy for him as he pushed me away. “Is this how you brush me off?”

I replied timidly, “If I am smart, I wouldn’t have allowed Rebecca to remain by your side.”

“Scarlett!” he roared.

“Yes!” I yelled. Why did he have to speak so loud? It wasn’t as if I was deaf.

“Ha!” he scoffed. “I’ve never seen an apology this indignant.”

After our intimacy, he pulled me into his arms and rasped out sexily, “Come here.”

I said nothing. I didn’t tell anyone about that incident and never saw my kidnapper again.

It felt like a dream to me.

He carried me out of the bathroom. I lay in his arms lazily after the vigorous session.

Before I fell asleep, I said, “Ashton, don’t be mad at me. Nick and I are innocent. I’m pregnant, and he’s younger than me. There’s no way we’d end up together.”

He rolled over and pulled me into his arms. “What about other men?” he inquired.

He was obviously picking on me. I pursed my lips and glared at him. “You don’t trust me!”

A smirk played on his lips. I could sense his satisfaction as he planted a light kiss on my forehead. “Sleep tight!”

I was already sleepy by now, so I soon fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed.

After the tiring business trip, I finally got to sleep in.

I lay in bed for a while before getting up. Immediately, I spotted a few missed calls from Stacey on my phone.
