In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 264

“Are you going to look for Macy?” Marcus went silent for a few seconds before asking.

I was taken aback by his sudden question, but I recalled I once brought it up in front of him during our random conversation.

The person on the other end of the call remained silent in anticipation of my reply. Shortly, he probed once more with a husky voice, “Have you finally located her?”

I shook my head and denied him of his thought. “No, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach her. Jackson was the one who would pick up the call on her behalf. I wanted to pay them a visit and check on them for myself.”

“I’ll go with you!” Instead of a suggestion, it sounded more like a command.

Thus, I turned him down right away and said, “That won’t be necessary because Jackson will be around to take care of me.”

“Scarlett! Why don’t you give Jackson a call before heading over? I’m afraid you’re going to make a futile trip,” Marcus rebuked in a callous tone.

“How do you know that when I haven’t got in touch with Jackson? I think it’s going to turn out just fine because Jackson told me he would stay by Macy’s side to keep her company.”

“You shouldn’t jump to the conclusion! What if they had made their way back to J City ahead of you? Perhaps they had traveled elsewhere! Don’t you think you should figure out their exact whereabouts before heading over?”

I nodded and gave in to the anxious man’s request since he sounded so desperate. “Alright! I’ll give Jackson a call and figure out their whereabouts beforehand!”

As soon as I detected the sound of the vehicle’s engine from the courtyard, I told Marcus, “I have something to tend to on my end. I got to go.”

Once I hung up the call, Ashton strode into the living room and noticed the packed meal that was in front of me. He asked with a frown, “What is this, and who’s it for?”

I was confused for a short while, but I rebuked him and said, “No! I’ll be heading out soon! So I got the maid to get my meal packed!”

“Where are you going?” Ashton asked.

“I’ll be heading over to look for Macy and Jackson!” After I told him about my upcoming agenda, I stuffed the meal into my bag, which seemed to be unnecessary at all.

As a matter of fact, I could have my meal before heading out, yet I couldn’t back down anymore since I had told him an out blunt lie.

When I was about to leave, Ashton stopped me and said, “Wait! I’ll go with you, but allow me to retrieve a certain something from the study before that.”

“N-No-”

“Just stay right here until I’m back!”

He didn’t even allow me to stop him and proceeded to bounce up the stairs.

While he was away, I grabbed the opportunity and gave Jackson a call.

It took a while for him to pick up the call. “Scarlett.”

“Jackson, can you please drop me a text of your current location? I’ll be heading over to pay you and Macy a visit soon.” If they were in the countryside, we would have to drive there. Otherwise, we would have a hard time maneuvering around because it would be tough to get a cab there.

“Are you back in J City?” It was evident Jackson, who was on the other end, was taken aback by our presence.
