In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 861

“Okay, remind me again before we go.” After a short pause, I glanced at him. “Ashton, can I ask you a question?”

He raised a brow. “What is it?”

“I’ve always thought that you’re angry with your grandpa because he broke you and Rebecca up, but I realized that wasn’t true. Can you tell me why you were so mad at your grandpa?” Some incidents of the past were etched in my memory. I remembered he hadn’t shown up during his grandfather’s funeral.

His gaze darkened a little at my question. After staring at me in silence for a while, he said, “It’s been so long. I don’t really remember why I was so mad at that time.”

Baffled by his answer, I was tongue-tied, so I stopped questioning him.

The following day.

Ashton and I went to Fuller Corporation together. The number of reporters waiting downstairs had reduced significantly. They must have left because of the lack of newsworthy information over the past few days.

Sasha’s parents were not around as well. I reckoned that they were taking care of their granddaughter at the hospital.

The lobby that used to be clamorous was now back to normal.

The moment I stepped through the entrance, Stella skipped to my side and spoke while looking at me. “Mrs. Fuller, you’re here. Isn’t it great that Sasha’s grandparents stopped coming over? You’re amazing!”

Overcome with excitement and joy, she completely overlooked the man beside me. For a moment, I thought she was about to twirl around me in delight while holding my arm.

After a while, Stella finally spotted Ashton. She hurriedly let go of me and greeted him respectfully, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fuller. So sorry.”

Glancing at her indifferently, Ashton reached out to hold my hand. Without a word, he brought me into an elevator.

In the elevator, Ashton gave me a sideways glance. “Now I know you have a way with both men and women.”

His comment befuddled me. My cheeks flushed red when I finally wrapped my head around his words. “Cut the nonsense. I worked with her yesterday while dealing with Sasha’s parents. What are you thinking?”

He chuckled and pulled me into a hug. “That my wife is very sociable.”

I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop teasing me!”

Later in the evening, I thought of Summer after preparing dinner, so I called Cameron. The phone rang for quite a while before it was picked up. “Hello, this is the Moore Residence.” Zachary’s voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

The landline phone didn’t display the caller ID, so he spoke rather formally. I froze for a second. “Dad, it’s me, Scarlett.”
