In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 94

“Go home with me, then.”

“I…”

The stairway was very spacious. Even though we spoke very softly, our voices echoed through the place.

I raised my head and stated firmly, “I’ll stay here for the night and go back tomorrow!”

He nodded. “Okay, I’ll stay with you here tonight.”

What the heck?

Looking at how determined he was, he would probably stay here if I refused to go back.

Left with no choice, I walked out of the stairway and snapped, “Let’s go!”

I then went downstairs and sent a message to Macy. As I did not bring my car keys, I got into Ashton’s car.

A relieved expression crossed Ashton’s initially gloomy face when he saw me sit on the front passenger seat. After helping me buckle my seatbelt, he closed the door and walked over to the driver’s seat.

When we arrived at Peakville Estate, Mrs. Eriksen was waiting at the entrance for us. The anxious expression on her face was replaced by relief when she saw us. “Where did you go at such a late timing?”

“I had some matters to attend to.” Stepping into the living room, I saw that dinner was still laid out on the table.

I could not help but be stunned. Gazing at Mrs. Eriksen, I asked, “Have you eaten dinner?”

She nodded. “I have. However, when Mr. Ashton came home and saw that you’re not here, he went to look for you without eating anything.”

Ashton entered the house after parking the car and hung his coat on the rack. As it was dark earlier, I did not manage to catch a clear glimpse of his face. He looked extremely exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes.

As it was a busy period for Fuller Corporation, he had been going on business trips and attending meetings round the clock. In fact, he had to wake up at five or six in the morning to work.

“Mrs. Eriksen, the dishes might be cold by now. Please help us heat them up again.” Then, I walked towards Ashton and reminded him, “Eat something first. It’s bad for your stomach if you remain hungry.”

He froze as he massaged his temples. Then, he glanced at me and replied, “Okay!”

Mrs. Eriksen was in the midst of heating up the dishes in the kitchen. As there was nothing left for me to do, I returned to my room and washed up. When I left the bathroom, I saw Ashton outside.

I could not help but frown. “We’re sleeping in separate rooms for this period of time.”

“I won’t do anything rash,” replied Ashton as he took his shirt off. He grabbed a bathrobe and entered the bathroom.

Initially, there were only my clothes in the closet. Now, Ashton’s clothes were also in it.

Forget it. If I continue harping on it, we’ll end up arguing. That’s meaningless, anyway.

After drying my hair, I got into bed.
