In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 948

Nora grinned. “I don’t think a happy couple like you should bring a third wheel along. Let Armond take care of this.”

Hannah wanted to retort, but Chandler whispered something and stopped her.

Then, Ashton called me. I took the call, and he said, “I just finished my meeting. Are you hungry?”

I felt more at ease after hearing his voice, then I went to the balcony. “No. Just had barbecue with my friends. Nora came today, and Hannah’s around too, so I was going to call you over, but you were working, so that’s that. Have you eaten though?” He just got out of the meeting, so I thought he must be hungry.

He chuckled. “Sounds like I missed out on a feast. Where are you? I’ll pick you up. Can you make some pasta for me?”

I smiled. “It’s not really good, you know. I’m at Nora’s place. It’s in the city center. Armond’s here too, so can you come over?”

He was quiet for a moment. “Sure.” Armond and us weren’t friends anymore, so that was the only way I could deal with Armond for the time being.

I made small talk before sending him my location, then I noticed Holden’s message. ‘Why didn’t you call me for so long, woman? Nora’s an idiot. Telling her is just going to be a waste of my time.’

Oh, it was probably about the thing I asked him earlier. I texted back before keeping my phone. I see.

Hailey sat quietly in a corner, trying to lay low. Armond and Nora were doing the dishes in the kitchen, so I sat down beside her and handed her a glass of water. “Did you come here for work?”

She took the glass of water and looked up at me. “The company needs clients.” She nodded. “I have to make the sales to keep it running.”

I looked at her silently. “Running a company doesn’t suit you. You should pursue your hobbies instead.”

“My father founded the company. It doesn’t matter if I like it or not, I have to hold the fort until he’s free. I’ll keep it running for as long as I can hold it.”

She’s stubborn. I guess there’s no point in persuading her. I nodded and shrugged. “Good luck.”
