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

Chapter 297

We were miles apart. I wasn’t too sure if Jackson was being honest, so I said, “Jackson, give me your

address in M Country. I’ll come over for a visit in a few days. I want to see your child.”

“The weather is too cold so just stay at home since you usually fall sick easily. M Country is way colder

compared to K City. You wouldn’t get used to it here. Just wait until Macy has recovered and the baby

grows older, then we will come back,” Jackson said hurriedly. At that moment, I heard the baby’s cries

on the other end. “The baby is crying. I need to go now. I’ll send you pictures of the baby shortly. I’m

going to hang up now.”

He hung up the call right after. I was stunned for a moment with the phone in my hand.

Since Ashton was busy with Fuller Corporation’s hospital and I wasn’t able to help him in any way, I

decided to not bother him further.

It was snowing heavily when Sally arrived at the villa. Her body was covered with snowflakes in just a

few minutes when she got out of the car and entered the villa.

Mrs. Eriksen was shocked to see her. “Ms. Fuller!” Sally was familiar with Mrs. Eriksen because she

had been working for the Fullers for many years.

Sally was stunned for a moment. “Mrs. Eriksen, why have you come to K City?”

“Because of Mr. Ashton and Letty. These few days, Letty hasn’t been feeling well and Mr. Ashton told

me to come over and take care of her. How… are you these years?”

Sally smiled and looked over while I was preparing to get up and greet her.

“Scarlett, where is Ashton?”

After asking Mrs. Eriksen to prepare some tea, I looked at her. “He has a lot of work to do at the office

and hasn’t been home for a few days. Why are you looking for him, Ms. Fuller?”

Upon sensing the animosity from the way I’d addressed her, she frowned. “Scarlett, are you still mad at

me about what happened previously?”

I smiled and gestured her to take a seat. “You’re overthinking. I was just addressing you without

thinking twice.”

She let out a gentle sigh. “Scarlett, I hope you won’t hold a grudge towards what had happened in the

past. I’m the daughter of the Fuller family and now we are in the middle of a crisis. Your Aunt Helen

couldn’t be able to conceive anymore because of her previous injuries. You are aware of my current

situation and know that I might not bear children anymore. We were hoping for Ashton to provide an

heir to the family. At that time, when you had a miscarriage. Rebecca came to me, saying that she was

pregnant with Ashton’s baby. As an elder, it was impossible for me to not do anything and abandon an

heir who belongs to the Fuller family. Who would have thought… Ah!”

Her face looked drained. Even though her clothes were thick, it was obvious that she had loss quite a

bit of weight. Furthermore, some wrinkles could be seen on her face that was once flawless and well

taken care of.

Compared to the last time I had seen her, she had aged considerably.

At that moment, I didn’t think it was necessary to continue with that topic, so I changed the topic. “Is

there anything you would like to talk to Ashton about? I’ll give him a call.”

I picked up the cell phone and was about to call Ashton when she quickly said, “No, you don’t have to

call him. I’m here for you.”

“Me?”

She nodded while her pale lips moved slightly. Then she uttered, “Letty, as you know, the Whites have

been dealing with a lot of problems lately. We don’t have many family members to start with. Now that

Benjamin and Sharon are dead, I’m the only one remaining in the family. Your uncle hasn’t been buried

yet. There are too many tasks concerning the Whites, and I can’t handle all of them myself. Since This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

you’re married to Ashton, you’re also part of the Fullers. I understand he is busy with his company. I

can’t be much help in regards to that, so I wouldn’t want to burden him even more. Since you don’t

have much to do now, can I ask you for help?”

So this is why she came here today. I paused for a moment, then I uttered, “Initially, Ashton and I

wanted to help you after finding out what has happened to the White family. However, I was injured

recently and something came up with Ashton’s company, that’s why we got delayed. If there’s anything

you need our help with, let us know.”

The most difficult thing to organize in the world was a funeral. Even though the White family was

prestigious, they didn’t have many family members. Furthermore, as a young widow, it was normal for

Sally to be responsible for many tasks.

Initially, it was Marcus’ responsibility to manage everything. However, before he could fully grieve after

Benjamin’s death, Sharon died, too. Now he would need to handle both his parents’ funeral. It must be

very traumatizing for him.

Sally felt more relieved by my assurance. “It’s really not too big of a deal, actually. I was just thinking

that the White residence is too huge and it’s usually empty since Marcus left. It’s really lonely for me to

stay there alone. Therefore, I was thinking if you would want to move in to the house and accompany

me for a few days until Benjamin’s funeral is over.”

I noticed the dark circles beneath her eyes. It must be due to the lack of sleep for the past few days.

Since I gave my word earlier, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to reject her.

After a moment of consideration, I replied, “Alright, but I need to have a talk with Ashton before that.”

“No need for that!” Sally exclaimed hurriedly. “I will inform him. It must be hectic for him at work these

days, and he wouldn’t have the time to take care of you as well. You should bring Mrs. Eriksen along

with you. In that case, he would be relieved knowing that someone is taking care of you.”
