Surely he must have been upset when the child was suddenly gone just like that, right?

His brows were pinched into a deep furrow. “This matter is already in the past!”

“I know. I’m just asking.” I nodded, but I couldn’t help wanting to add to that. More words rolled off my tongue in a mumble, “I’m just wondering if I ever have a miscarriage, will you feel upset?”

“Scarlett!” he raised his voice. My arm was beginning to hurt under his tightened grip. The look on his face was gloomy. “Who did you meet today?”

My head was full on throbbing in pain by now. I rested my skull against his chest, devoid of energy to say anything else. “It doesn’t matter. As you said, It’s all in the past.”

The tension in the atmosphere went up a notch while the temperature felt like it had dropped several degrees. I knew he was angered. But there was no point in talking about this anymore. I closed my eyes as I leaned against him.

Just then, a buzz sounded, followed by a ringtone that came from his phone. I tried to withdraw myself from his embrace at the thought of letting him pick up the call, but before I could, I was pressed tighter against his body as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. With his other arm, he fumbled for his phone and made a quick swipe across the screen.

I nuzzled my head and burrowed myself into a more comfortable position in his embrace.

“I’ve got something to do at work tomorrow. I’ll send Joe over to pick you up,” Ashton replied flatly.

A brief pause came before her voice sounded through the phone again. There was a hint of disappointment in it this time. “Ash… Can’t we even be friends with each other now?”
