In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 584

Ashton’s eyes darkened slightly as he walked over. His gaze fell on the bloodstain that I was trying to cover.

I had originally thought that he would move my hands away to take a look, but he did not. He simply stroked my hair and looked at me tenderly. “Go take a bath.”

I nodded and wrapped myself in a towel before getting out of bed. After a quick shower, I was still worried about Summer, so I put on the clothes that I had washed and dried last night.

Ashton was in a fresh set of clothes when I exited the bathroom. It was not what he wore yesterday, meaning that someone had brought him some new clothes.

Noticing my presence, he handed me the brown bag that was beside him. “There’re new clothes in here!”

I shook my head. “It’s fine. I’ve already changed.” I did not want to bother changing into another set of clothes.

Picking up my phone, I then gave Jared a call. It did not take long before he picked up.

“Scarlett!” He sounded like he had not slept last night as well.

I composed myself before I said, “Let’s meet at Victoria Hotel’s lobby in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

Ashton was studying me with a meaningful look in his eyes when I hung up. Since he remained silent, I asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s go to the hospital later,” said Ashton as he tucked my hair behind my ear.

I was taken aback but replied almost automatically, “No. We have to find Summer first.”

He frowned. “Scarlett…”

“I said, we have to find Summer first.” As I turned to exit the room, he grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

He frowned, mostly in helplessness. “I’ll go find Summer. You’ll go to the hospital, okay?”

Looking at him, I was suddenly angered. I broke free of his grasp and before I even knew what I was doing. “You’ll find her? You weren’t the one who raised her, nor have you invested any effort and love into her. Do you think you can pacify me just by saying that you’d find her? Ashton, does it look like I can go to the hospital with peace of mind right now? Or maybe since Summer’s not your daughter anyway, so it doesn’t matter if she’s lost?”

Those words were said in anger and on impulse.

I regretted them the moment they came out of my mouth.

Ashton’s gaze darkened and his expression grew cold. He looked me in the eye and said coldly, “Do you really see me as such a cold-blooded person?”

I kept silent, knowing that my words had hurt him. However, I was stubborn. Although I knew I was in the wrong, I did not want to apologize.
