In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 756

I knew he got mad.

Lying beside him, I was at a loss looking at his back. “Ashton, then what do you want?” I asked.

He uttered coldly, “Scarlett, you know clearly what I wanted, but you’ve always acted like a fool with me. You don’t need to please me to make me agree to your request. Just tell me what you want, and I’ll do whatever you say. You know I can’t say no to you.”

At that instant, my heart was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

I moved closer to him and rested my head on his back, wrapping my arms around him.

Upon that, the man’s cold aura subsided. Yet, he still had his back at me.

After a while, I spoke up, “I’m not doing it because of what happened today.”

The man remained silent. I let out a sigh and coaxed, “Ashton, don’t turn your back to me. You know I can’t sleep like this.”

The man’s body stiffened. “Then what do you want me to do?” he asked.

It seemed like his anger had dissipated, so I pushed my luck. “I want you to cuddle me.”

Slowly, Ashton turned around to face me. He was indeed good-looking. Whenever I saw his handsome face, I felt lucky to be his wife.

As our eyes met, I found no trace of anger in his. Feeling encouraged, I buried my face in his chest.

“Hug me tight, or I can’t sleep,” I cooed in a muffled voice.

In fact, after all these years, it was the first time I acted so lovey-dovey with him.

Yet, it seemed like Ashton was pleased. He hugged me tight and let my head rest on his arm. His eyes lit up while looking at me affectionately.

With my cheeks flushed, I shifted in his arms and protested, “I can’t sleep when you keep looking at me.”

He lifted my chin and suddenly asked, “Have you ever imagined our wedding?”

I was slightly bewildered. Why is he suddenly talking about a wedding? His question threw me off balance.

Nevertheless, I answered, “Um… Maybe like Emery’s Chinese-style wedding? At a place where the flowers blossom. I prefer holding a wedding on a sunny day instead of a winter day. If possible, I wish to wear a red wedding dress with silver and gold embroidery. Ah, and also, a red veil and a phoenix coronet. It will be wonderful!”

Since it wouldn’t cost to imagine a wedding, I let my imagination run wild. Besides, it seemed like Ashton was interested to know.

He looked happy after listening to my answer. With mirth in his eyes, he whispered in my ears, “I will give you everything you want. The wedding will be held following strictly to the traditions.”
