In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 95

Shortly later, I heard the sound of Ashton starting the engine of his car downstairs.

As I was still feeling drowsy, I fell asleep again soon after he left.

It was already 9 a.m. when I woke up. The moment I opened my eyes, I received a phone call from Ashton.

Still lying down, I picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Are you awake?” He sounded like he was in a good mood.

“Yeah.”

“Wake up and let’s have breakfast together. I’ll be waiting for you in the office.”

Stunned, I replied instinctively, “I’m eating at home.”

“Joseph’s waiting for you downstairs,” replied Ashton. When I vaguely heard someone knocking on the door on his end, I guessed that he had something to attend to. As expected, he quickly repeated, “I’ll be waiting for you!”

Then, he hung up.

Lying on the bed, I rested for a while before washing up and heading downstairs. I saw Mrs. Eriksen making a pot of tea, while Joseph sat in the living room solemnly.

When Mrs. Eriksen spotted me, she smiled and said, “Letty, Mr. Ashton asked Mr. Campbell to fetch you for breakfast.”

Mrs. Eriksen had not prepared breakfast yet. It seemed like Ashton had already reminded her beforehand.

I nodded and left the villa.

When we arrived at the office, Joseph directly brought me to Ashton’s office and left after pouring me a cup of water. Ashton was still in the middle of a video conference.

When he saw me enter, he stood up and walked toward me. He placed a plate of nuts in front of me, kissed my forehead before going back to the video conference.

As I had just woken up, I did not have much of an appetite. Hence, I sat on the sofa and fiddled with my phone. Soon, Ashton finished his conference and sat down beside me.

“Are you hungry?”

I shook my head and kept my phone. He gave Joseph a call before holding my hand and massaging my fingertips. Smiling, he asked, “Is your hand still sore?”

I only realized what he was talking about after some time. Blushing, I pulled my hand away. “What are we eating?”

“You’ll find out later.” He pulled me into his arms and gently pressed my head against his chest.

Feeling uneasy, I was about to move away when he hugged my waist. “Let me hug you for a while.”

Joseph entered with a bag that contained a few boxes. He left after placing it on the table.

At that moment, Ashton received a call again. Knowing that he was busy, I took out the boxes one by one. They contained some pastries and soup from Granger’s.
