In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 378

“Scarlett, come sit here!” Jackson beckoned me over when he caught sight of me.

I walked over to Jackson and took a seat next to him as Ashton pushed the stroller aside.

The Pear Garden villa was possibly the most luxurious in J City. The dining hall alone spanned over one hundred square meters. It was much larger compared to an average hall.

The round table was equally huge. I figured that the guests seated opposite would not be able to hear me unless I raised my voice.

There was a hint of tenderness in Cameron’s gaze towards me. Together with Zachary, they took a seat next to Ashton and me as Cameron instructed the butlers to serve the dishes.

“She is adorable. I think that she is around four months old now,” Cameron peered towards Summer in her stroller as she cooed with a bright smile.

Zachary’s expression seemed to drop when he caught sight of my stony face. “Scarlett, Summer seems to be a little smaller than most children. Are you giving her the proper nutrient intakes?” he asked with concern.

“As an infant, she has faced countless struggles. That’s why she’s much more petite than most children,” I replied as my mood soured upon hearing Zachary’s question.

Cameron tugged on Zachary’s sleeve with a hurtful expression. “It’s all my fault,” she murmured.

Why are they acting so strangely? I turned to Ashton with a puzzled look, and he clasped my hand in his palm comfortingly. “Thank you for inviting us to dinner!” he said and shifted his gaze to Cameron and Zachary.

As if sensing my displeasure, both Zachary and Cameron merely murmured in acknowledgment.

I couldn’t help but feel utterly bewildered at their demeanor due to two main reasons. Firstly, their attitudes towards me were a stark contrast to their past mannerisms.

Secondly, Zachary must have found out about Cameron’s past through the videos. Yet, he remained as cool as a cucumber.

Is there such a husband who holds no regard for his wife’s past? There were even more to those that I haven’t seen. How could Zachary face her with such a calm composure?

“Since the dishes are served, let’s dig in while they are warm.” Cameron gestured for the guests to begin eating.

Before she could finish her speech, a discordant noise resounded through the hall. “Mom, what have I done? Why won’t you meet me?” Rebecca’s voice echoed through the hall.

Rebecca and Joe appeared in the room. She was still dressed in the same clothes as she had on when she visited Peakville Estate. Her disheveled clothes gave her a very ragged and pathetic appearance.

Cameron leaped to her feet in an instant. It was clear that her mood had turned foul at the sight of Rebecca. “I thought I told you not to come looking for me?”

She was about to storm over towards Rebecca. Yet, Zachary yanked her to a screeching halt.

“Sit down and share a meal with us,” Zachary said coolly as he addressed Rebecca.
