In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 949

I wanted to help her relax, but she backed off by reflex and looked at me in confusion. “Sorry, I…”

I nodded before giving her some space. “Calm down. I won’t force you to talk. You can tell me about it when you’re ready. Don’t be scared.”

She bit her lips, her eyes tearing up. When Armond and Nora came over after they were done doing the dishes, Hailey darted into the bedroom, much to Nora’s confusion. “What’s with her?” she asked me.

I was looking at Armond, but he was still putting on his polite front. “It’s nothing. She’s unwell, so she’s retiring for the night.”

Nora nodded dumbly. “No wonder she looks out of place. Is the weather affecting her?”

I nodded. “Probably. Please take care of her.”

She nodded before going to Hailey’s bedroom, concerned.

Armond was giving me a warm smile. “You seem to be unhappy. Is it because I’m here?”

I pursed my lips. “You should end this with her if you don’t love her. Stop hurting Nora.” Armond was a mysterious man. I could never understand which part of him was real, and which was not.

He sat on the balcony’s sofa languidly. “I thought you should be more concerned about your daughter, but it seems you care about Nora more. Well, she is adopted after all, so I can see why you don’t really care about her.”

I held my anger down. “I’d shut up now if I were you.”

He smiled nicely. “I’m a talkative guy. Won’t you give me a chance, Scarlett? I don’t mind having an affair with you. I’ll tell Nora off if you’d say yes, and I’d keep it a secret from Ashton. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?”

Armond was disgusting as usual. I looked at him coldly while holding my urge to hurl. “You’re disgusting, you know that?”

He dismissed my hostility. “But I like it and I’m having fun.”
