In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 394

Leaning against the sofa, he pinched his forehead. “My guess is the former. But, there are not many people who are higher in position than Uncle Louis. Besides, none of these people have any dealings with the Fullers. Therefore, he is still investigating.”

I pondered briefly before replying, “It seems to me someone intends to sow discord between Ashton and me. However, the animosity doesn’t seem to be directed at me.”

After a brief pause, I continued, “Someone used the same modus operandi previously. When he kidnapped me, he forced me to listen to a disgusting movie. His motive then is similar to what happened this time.”

He knitted his brows. “Do you know who he is?”

I shook my head. “I’m not sure. I’ll need to take another look.” Looking at him, I hesitated briefly. “About going to R Province, I may have to delay it, or perhaps Ashton may come along with us.”

He pursed his lips in displeasure. “Why does Ashton need to follow you wherever you go?”

“Why can’t I follow wherever my wife goes? Aren’t you worried about being laughed at for constantly clinging to your sister?” Ashton and Louis came down from the study on the second floor.

At the same moment, Jackson came back in from the garden with Summer. Looking at me, he exclaimed, “It really is lively today.”

Ashton looked at him with his eyebrows raised. “Who’s here?”

Before Jackson could reply, Cameron and Zachary entered. Zachary had his hands full carrying stuff.

“It’s wonderful to see that everyone is here. I suppose none of you have had lunch yet. I brought some cakes. Why don’t all of you try some?” Cameron smiled warmly as she put the cakes she brought on the table.

Unwrapping them and taking them out, she looked at me. “Scarlett, try some. I heard Mr. Fuller say that you love chamomile-tea-flavored cakes. Hence, I made them for you.”

I was briefly stunned before accepting the cake she handed me. After taking a bite, I realized that it did taste good.

With regards to how warm Cameron and Zachary had been, I had a strange feeling about it but could never pin my finger on what it was.

Hence, I never brought it up.

After letting everyone try her cakes, Cameron brazenly marched into the kitchen to inspect the fridge. “I only knew the nanny took the day off after calling her in the morning to ask what you were having. With both of you youngsters at home, I expect you will end up not having a proper meal. Hence, I decided to come over. And now, it seems you hardly had any breakfast. The two of you should take better care of your body.”

Just as she spoke, she brought out the ingredients from the fridge and put on an apron.

Ashton and Louis hardly batted an eyelid. While John, who was focused on his phone, didn’t see a problem at all.

Instead, it was only Jackson and I that felt awkward. As Summer was already asleep, he lowered his voice and asked, “Aren’t you and Cameron rivals? Why do you behave like mother and daughter now?”
