In Love, Never Say Never

He gave her a cold stare. “Joe will be responsible for taking care of you. Please refrain from coming here unless there’s something critical.”

Rebecca’s face paled even further. “Okay!” There was a slight tremble in the tone of her voice as she spoke. She nodded her head as she tried to conceal the hurt gleaming in her eyes.

“It’s late now. Scarlett and I have matters to attend to later. You should head back first,” Ashton continued emotionlessly, unmoved by Rebecca’s wounded expression.

It was clearly an order to leave. Both Rebecca and I could decipher the strict tone of his voice.

“Okay.” There was a trace of bitterness that flickered in her longing gaze. She left after that.

I pursed my lips as I watched her figure leave the villa. It was as if I could glimpse a hint of my past self in her lonely back. “Ashton, do you treat all women so heartlessly?”

“I won’t treat you that way.” Ashton turned to me. His dark gaze resembled the night sky.

I decided not to tease him any further. “Why does Rebecca need your help to visit Cameron?” I asked curiously.

What happened between the two of them?

“Have you ever thought of looking for your biological parents?” Ashton asked me as his stare clouded over.

“Why did you change the topic so quickly?” For a moment, I was left speechless in shock.

“Answer my question,” Ashton’s brows pinched together.
