In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 897

My unannounced appearance stunned Shane. Just when he was on the verge of losing his cool, he saw Ashton behind me and he got on his knees immediately. “Mrs. Fuller, you’re right. I’m at fault. I will never do it again!”

I doubted him. After all, a leopard would never change its spots. I watched his girlfriend’s face closely. Somehow, I pitied her. I couldn’t believe she would fall for a guy like him.

“Break up with him. He does not deserve you,” I said to her.

I knew that no matter what I said, it would be useless. Despite that, I had to say something. That woman looked at me, puzzled. There was no longer any trace of the alluring expression that she wore earlier. Rather, she looked miserable and pale. “Thanks,” she muttered after a while.

I shook my head nonchalantly. “No, I just can’t bear to see this jerk raised his hand on you.”

Ashton pursed his lips. “Let’s go.” I stood up and followed him. After a distance away, I took another glance at her. Then, with a heavy sigh, I made my way down the stairs.

“Not everyone walks the same path. Everyone is different. You can’t control it,” he said with a warm smile as he held my hand.

I turned to him. “Are you trying to say that I shouldn’t be a busybody?” I said, with a little pout.

He responded with a gentle grin before he rubbed his nose and said, “You are overthinking it.”

I huffed, and we stayed silent until the cruise ship docked. I was surprised to see a familiar face when we disembarked. “Joseph, when did you arrive?”

“Today.”

I considered him a friend. Naturally, I missed him after such a long time. As soon as we got into the car, we had a good catch-up.

On our way to the hotel, Ashton had a horrible cough. I asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell?” He was finally discharged from the hospital, but the doctor advised that he needed to rest. However, he just couldn’t turn down Holden’s invitation because it was an important event.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” I watched him silently as he leaned back in his seat and shut his eyes to rest.

Upon our arrival at the hotel, I was suddenly feeling so exhausted that I crashed on the bed while the two men chatted in the living room. What was supposed to be a nap became a deep slumber.

Ashton came and woke me up after he showered. As he stood by the bed, I could smell the scent of soap on him. “Go wash up. You can go back to sleep after that,” he said tenderly.
