In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 318

Even so, when Ashton was lying beside me and hugging me, I could feel his kiss getting more passionate. Obviously, he had been holding it in for a while.

I tried to back off, but I was already on the edge of the bed. Moving more would make me fall, so I pushed him, but he held my hand. I frowned when I noticed his hand was coming up my shoulder. “Ashton…”

“Be good. Don’t be scared.”

I held his hand down. “Sorry, but I can’t.”

He smiled and kissed me more before trying to lure me into it. “It’ll be fine. We can take it slow.”

Realizing that he must have misunderstood me, I was speechless for a moment. Nonetheless, he noticed it a short while later. He looked at me, surprised. “When did this happen?”

“Tonight.” It took all I had to say that.

He went out of the bedroom, leaving me alone in the bed, not knowing what to do. Before I realized it, he had come back with a bowl of ginger carrot soup and a bowl of chicken soup. That surprised me.

“Mrs. Eriksen made some chicken soup for you. Have it before you sleep,” he cooed as he tried to feed me.

I didn’t like sweet stuff, so two mouthfuls were all I could handle. He then said, “Finish the chicken.”

I frowned. “I brushed my teeth, so no.”

“I’ll just take you to the bathroom later. Finish this and go to sleep.” He pressed on, allowing no refusals. We had been living together for years, and I knew I would be on the losing side if I kept it up. In the end, I resolved myself to finish it.

My whole body felt heavy, for I hadn’t recovered from the miscarriage, and it was my special day of the month. I had a good night’s sleep the first night, but because of the lack of blood, I felt dizzy.

Ashton had a lot of business to settle, and the annual general meeting was coming up, so he told Mrs. Eriksen to take care of me. I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t, so I scrolled through my phone. A moment later, it rang.

I took the call. “Hello, Mr. Tuffin.”

Savini was a shrewd man. The moment I talked to him, he laughed. “Did you sleep well last night, Ms. Stovall? Do I have the honor to treat you to lunch?”
