In Love, Never Say Never

I nodded and asked, “Who is it?” It was three o’clock early morning, so I couldn’t figure out which maniac would interrupt others at such odd hours.

He looked elsewhere and denoted in a serious tone, “Rebecca is going to give birth soon.”

All of a sudden, my mind was all over the place because she was nowhere close to her estimated date of delivery yet. Hence, I was confused that she was going to give birth so soon.

I wondered what the person on the other end of the call told him. Meanwhile, he held on to his phone with a frown as though he had received some upsetting news.

Ashton lowered his volume and replied, “I’m so sorry, Ms. Anderson. I’m currently not in K City.”

He was aware I had my eyes on him. Hence, he decided to carry on with the conversation with the speaker.

At that moment, Cameron’s voice could be heard as she pleaded anxiously, “Ashton, Rebecca needs you by her side more than ever! Can you please make a trip back to K City immediately? As long as she’s able to give birth to her child safely, I’ll give in to whatever request you have! Please, Ashton!”

Ashton furrowed his brows because he was slightly irked by Cameron’s fretful voice.

I took over his phone and replied on his behalf, “Ms. Anderson, I’m afraid I have to turn you down because my husband is in the middle of something. I don’t think he’s able to make the trip back.”

“Scarlett!” Cameron exclaimed in shock and yelled, “You’re the one who has sent Rebecca the photos of the deceased children! She almost fell down the stairs in the middle of the night because of you – you vicious woman!”

I found her words hilarious and replied sarcastically, “Ms. Anderson, how am I, a trivial character, supposed to expose your beloved daughter to such horrible photos that can drive her mad? You should stop blaming me for everything that has gone wrong on her end. Perhaps God was behind this. After all, look at what you have done over the years. Instead of asking Ashton to fly back, why don’t you atone for your sins instead?”

Cameron gasped when she heard my sarcastic remark. She warned me in return, “Y-You! Come at me with everything you have if you’re holding a grudge against us! Aren’t you afraid of karma if you make a move against a defenseless pregnant woman?”

“Oh, I’m terrified, Ms. Anderson! However, you’re the one who should be afraid because it’s your karma that we’re talking about! I haven’t done anything to get my revenge, and I don’t think I need to do it myself anymore.”

after I made myself clear, I hung up the call and looked at Ashton.
