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

Chapter 250

As soon as I said that, Ashton knitted his brows. “I’m only halfway done.”

I pressed my lips and was at a loss for words.

While I was still thinking of a way to respond to that remark, he threw out this question all of a sudden,

“What are you going to do if I decide not to come home today?”

“I’d probably have to scald my whole body and call you.” This idea did cross my mind. I knew he would

not ignore me.

He tightened his grip on my thigh, causing me to gasp in pain.

“Does it hurt?” he sneered. “Have you thought of turning yourself into a cripple?”

I kept mum, but I still gently ran my fingers all over his arm while he continued applying the ointment on

my thighs.

“What are you doing?” He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me.

I bit my lips. “Seducing you.”

He let out a mirthless laugh, put away the ointment, and squinted. “You’re doing this for that project?”

And again, I chose to remain silent. I got up, wrapped my hands around his shoulders, and pressed my

lips against his.

He, too, wrapped his hands around my waist and said in a husky voice, “How much did you drink?”

I mumbled, “A few glasses, I think.”

Frankly speaking, I was not good at seducing men, and foreplay always wore me out. I just wanted to

hit the bullseye.

His breathing grew heavier as he pulled me closer to him. “So are you planning to give up?”

I shook my head and changed my position.

While he was enjoying the time of his life, I took the opportunity and asked, “Fuller Corporation has Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

HiTech now, so how about OrbitTech…”

“Nope. No OrbitTech!” He instantly turned rough.

I looked up at him with a scowl, reached for the phone, and passed it to him. “Call Joseph now!”

He stopped what he was doing and gazed into my eyes. “You really think you can make me do things

just by offering me your body?”

I did not know what to say. But I knew he was not happy about it.

I bit my lips. “You promised to support me in everything I do.”

He took over the phone with a smirk and gave Joseph a call.

It took Joseph quite a while to answer the phone. Ashton then said to him in a cold voice, “Do not follow

up on OrbitTech’s case anymore!”

He ended the call, threw the phone aside, and went straight to the shower.

It was either I was too drunk or simply relieved that I had one less problem to worry about.

Nonetheless, I fell asleep almost instantly.

By the time Ashton got out of the shower, I was already sound asleep. But he was not ready to call it a

day.

He thought he could torture me the whole night by staying on top of me almost every hour. But jokes on

him as I had already transported myself to a faraway dreamland.

My head hurt the moment I opened my eyes the next morning. It must be due to all the drinks I had last

night. I raised my hands and clenched my fists to wake myself up.

Since I had to make a trip to the White Corporation, I had to freshen up and start organizing some

documents. Yet when I tried getting out of bed, I realized someone still had his grip on my wrist.

Ashton was still asleep, and the stubble on his chin made him look even more appealing.

I could not stop myself from reaching for the sexy stubble. It was soft to the touch, but at the same

time, it was also kind of prickly.

Under the dimmed light in the room, his facial features became even more prominent. Upon noticing

someone was touching him, he woke up with a start and looked at me with his sleepy eyes.

With a deep growl, he asked, “Do you want more?”

I immediately retracted my hand. He then sat up, exposing some scratches on his abs.

Yes, I was the one who scratched him last night.

Ashton raised his brows after noticing I was staring at his body. “Someone has gone pretty wild last

night.”

Now that the alcohol’s effect had mostly worn off, my mind became much clearer. “I wouldn’t have done

this to you had you behaved well last night.”

He chuckled. “Oh? So do you want to go for another round?” He leaned forward and gave me a peck

on my forehead, “You’re my wife, and I’m your husband. Ask me if you have any doubts, and don’t let

rumors get to you. Okay?”

I nodded and gently pushed him away. “Alright, alright, that’s enough. I need to go to the office today,

so give me a break.”

He could not help but laugh upon hearing what I said. Right after flipping the blanket over, he kept

staring at my thighs for quite some time.

Initially, I thought he was aroused but soon realized he was staring at the red patches on my thighs.

He lifted his head and looked at me. “Does it still hurt?”

I shook my head. “Nope.”

“Just stay home and rest today.”

I refused. “I’m fine. I have to get back to the office to settle some work today.”

A sudden frown warped his face. He was apparently unhappy with my answer but held back his anger.

“I’ll drive you!”

Since Ashton had made a compromise, I should too. I nodded and accepted his offer.

He parked his car outside White Corporation and immediately became the center of attention when

employees walked in and out of the building.

When I was about to get out of the car after unfastening the safety belt, I realized the car was locked. I

tilted my head and gave Ashton a stare. “Open the door!”

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes for a brief moment as he pressed his lips and looked at me. “So,

you’re just going to leave like that?”
