In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 296

He placed the breakfast that Mrs. Eriksen had brought earlier next to me. “No worries, he can wait.”

After he had accompanied me for breakfast, Ashton went back to the study.

I couldn’t sleep even if I wanted to because I had a good slumber the night before. I was bored after being on my cell phone for some time.

I wanted to spend some time in the study reading books, since my ankle wasn’t hurting much after Jared had applied some medicine on it.

Slowly, I motioned towards the study. As I was about to knock on the door because Ashton and Jared were in the room, I heard them talking in hushed voices. “How is she now?”

“She has been having high fever and is absent-minded most of the time. The Moore family found a doctor for her and she is well-taken care of. Since Cameron was transferred away, she doesn’t have the time to be there for her.”

There was a silent pause before Jared asked, “Are you planning to visit her?”

“No. She didn’t have anyone when Parker died, but now she has the Moores. She will be fine.”

Jared nodded and said, “It seems like things have progressed for you and Scarlett compared to before. Are you serious about Scarlett?”

“She is my wife. I’m not too sure if serious is a word to describe a marriage.” Ashton’s voice was rather calm yet slightly arrogant. “What about you? Have you moved on after so many years?”

“Moved on from what?” Jared seemed unhappy.

“Since you have, it’s time for you to find someone else to settle down together,” Ashton said firmly.

“Damn!” That was the first time I heard Jared swearing. “Ashton, there must be something wrong with you. Are you worried that I might intervene in your marriage, that’s why you’re focusing on my personal life? Why don’t you ask Joe to get married!”

“He is in love with someone. It’s only a matter of time before he gets married. As for you, what’s going on with Macy? I thought you’re serious about her when you sacrificed your life to save her during the accident. Why aren’t you doing anything about that lately?”

That was the first time I thought of Ashton as someone who was meddlesome. Jared opened the door while saying, “I think you should just set up a matchmaking agency.”

The moment they saw me at the door, they were stunned. Ashton raised an eyebrow. “What’s the problem?”

I shrugged. “I’m here for some books!”

Out of curiosity, I turned to Jared and asked, “Dr. Crest, what’s going on between you and Macy? Haven’t you been in contact?”

Jared was taken aback. He replied after taking a pause, “I don’t know!”
