In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 915

Ashton leaned back against the backrest. His smile widened. “My wife’s the best!”

While attending to his wound, it dawned on me to ask, “Ashton, tell me the truth. You must have said or done something for the secretary to pour hot water on your chest. What did you do?”

His eyes dimmed. “Do I seem like such a person to you?”

I shrugged. “That’s hard to tell.” Unknowingly, I increased my pressure on his wound. As an act of petty revenge, he bit my lips lightly.

“Heartless creature.”

After attending to his wound, I helped him with his shirt. “Summer’s down with flu. Ever since she arrived in K City, her immune system has deteriorated. After discussing with Mom, we are thinking of bringing her back to R Province to recuperate.”

For a few moments, Ashton lowered his head, deep in thought. “All right. I’ll tie up all the loose ends. When Joseph comes back from Moranta, we’ll bring Summer to R Province.”

That went so smoothly, it was almost unbelievable. “If you leave, can Joseph manage?”

“There’s still Joe. Nothing to worry about.” Still seated, he hugged my waist playfully. I noticed the cute lunchbox on his desk. “Did you eat out? Or did someone send you food?”

“I ordered takeaway. There wasn’t time to eat out.”

I nodded, not intending to ask any further.

Over the next couple of days, Ashton and I stuck to each other like glue; we ate, lived, and went to work together. One fine day, while we were lazing around in his office, I received a call from Hannah.

“Scarlett, are you at K City?” Her voice sounded hoarse.
