In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 690

I was stunned by Ashton’s command. Anger was written all over his good-looking face. Failed to phrase any sentences in my mind, I stared blankly at him and started to zone out.

It was as if he realized he was being too angry at me, so he took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. Gazing at me with his dark eyes, he asked, “When and why did you go to Venria? What happened there? How did you return? Tell me.”

With him standing in front of me, his tall and sleek figure blocked most of the light.

I froze a while before saying, “It’s all in the past. There’s nothing to tell.”

He argued, “What do you mean by that? Scarlett, do you think I’m a fool? Even I’m not good enough for you, I’m still your husband. I have the right to know where my wife went, don’t I?”

I had never seen him so agitated before. He was completely helpless and at wit’s end.

“You have.” Staring at the glistening surface of the river, I took a deep breath and started telling him everything. “After leaving K City, I went to Q City to visit the child. Later on, I met Savini in A City. Perhaps he couldn’t let go of the past and asked someone to…”

When I recalled everything about the past, those painful memories I suffered, I felt lucky to be able to overcome them all.

The man stayed silent and listened to me. I told him everything, including meeting Armond in Venria and causing Tessa to be injured.

Digesting my words, Ashton turned to look at me. “I’m not against you doing the things you like. However, Scarlett, you have a husband, so you shouldn’t stay with Armond. The consequences will be dire if people catch wind of this.”

I understand it well, but I don’t have any other choice.

However, this wasn’t the topic I wanted to talk about. Looking at him, I wore a serious expression. “Ashton, I wanted to leave without a word, but it seems impossible. In order to correct what Tessa said, I told you everything. Since things have gotten this far, let’s talk about us.”
