In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 978

I could not divulge further and only said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m just going over to take a look. I’ll discuss it over with you guys before making any decisions. I know this is something big, so I won’t make rash decisions.”

Her lips pursed into a thin, hard line before she said, “Okay. But you have to tell us everything that happens at A City. Don’t be rash and rush into decisions. Please discuss it with us first.”

I nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Ashton was back from taking a call. He noticed that my parents were eyeing me with a worried look on their faces, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Cameron spoke first, “Mr. Fuller, are you going to A City with Scarlett too? I’m really worried that she’s going on a trip alone, especially now that she’s pregnant. I know that you’re a busy man, and you have a lot on your plate. But she’s pregnant with your baby. I’d appreciate it if you could make her and the baby your priority.”

Ashton actually had no idea that I was heading to A City. After listening to my mother, he cast a glance in my direction, and his brows creased slightly. Luckily, he did not inquire further and merely replied to Cameron as he nodded, “Yes, I will.”

Noticing the time, Cameron was worried that I might have to stay up late if I stayed any longer and egged us on, “It’s getting late. You guys should head back soon. Please inform us when you’re heading to A City. Your father will send someone to look after you.”

I nodded. Actually, I was planning to head to A City alone, but I knew they would not be able to stop nagging me if I had told them my plan. In the end, I relented and headed out of the hospital with Ashton.

After getting into the car, I did not actually talk to Ashton. Instead, I was on the phone with Hailey.

I had not noticed Ashton’s odd demeanor, even after we had reached the villa. When I was about to head upstairs for a shower, the man who was sitting on the sofa finally spoke up, “You’ve never planned to tell me that, nor have you ever considered how I’d feel about the matter, right?”

I was stumped and turned around to gauge him. His deep-set obsidian gaze was frigid. Feeling a chill down my spine, I explained, “No, that’s not it. I was actually planning to tell you after we got home, I mean after I’ve told Mom.”

He continued to stare at me. “Then, why didn’t you say anything?”

I was rendered speechless. This man was really starting to act like a child. Helpless, I explained myself. “I actually gave what Dad said in the morning some thought, and thought it was worth a try. I’m really worried about Summer’s prolonged stay at the hospital. So, I was thinking to make a trip to A City myself to find out if there’s any bone marrow match for her. That way we wouldn’t have to worry all the time.”
