In Love, Never Say Never

I nodded, making a few guesses of my own. Indeed, John was brought back to K City by the Stovalls a few years ago. I didn’t ask him anything about what happened after that, so I didn’t know the details. We were still kids back when he came to R Province, and Grandma never told us about the investor who had committed suicide.

For so many years, I’d never asked John about his origins in detail either.

After an entire night of mingling, I leaned against my seat, feeling sleepy. In my drowsy state, I vaguely noted that the car had entered the residential area.

Marcus stopped the car. Seeing me nod off, he got down and came over to my side to open the door for me. “Do you need me to carry you?”

My eyes flew wide open just then, and I hurriedly shook my head. “I can go up on my own!” Sharon was right. If someone were to take such indecent photos of us, things could get ugly for everyone involved.

I wasn’t surprised to see Ashton at the gate, but a frown appeared on my face. Is this his way of convincing me to go back with him?

He was sitting on the doorstep, looking like an abandoned child.

After several days of not seeing him, he had visibly lost weight. His former defiant and overbearing demeanor was nowhere in sight, and I noticed that his eyes were bloodshot.

Marcus frowned slightly as he informed me, “I’ll head inside first.”

I nodded and shifted my gaze to Ashton, who was slowly getting to his feet, catching a glimpse of the white gauze wrapped around his hand.

If I could change the past, I would make sure that I never crossed paths with Ashton in this lifetime. Even though it meant living an impoverished life, I would be more than willing.

I was physically and mentally exhausted. Within three years, I had become completely unrecognizable.

We stared at each other for a long time. I tried to think of something to say, but nothing came to mind.
