In Love, Never Say Never

Cameron had just finished preparing meals in the kitchen. I thought for a while and looked at her. “Mom, I’m going to Fuller Corporation later. I was thinking of bringing lunch over for Ashton as well. Do we have any containers at home?”

She nodded with a delightful smile. “Yes! Of course we do. We have plenty of it. I think we even have some insulated lunchboxes at home. Let me get them for you!”

Not long after, she brought out an exquisite and classy-looking lunchbox. It came with three separate compartments with a superior heat retention function.

Probably in a good mood, Cameron made a lot of dishes. After packing lunch for Ashton, Emery came downstairs with Xavier in her arms and asked, “Who is that for?”

“It’s Letty. She’s bringing lunch for Ashton.”

Emery took a look at me and said, “Why don’t you prepare one more set? There’s a lot of lunchboxes at home. Wouldn’t it be better for you to head over and have lunch together with him? Otherwise, he would be starving if he were to wait for you to finish your lunch at home first.”

Worried that I would be hungry, Cameron disagreed with what Emery said. “It won’t take too much time for her to have her lunch first anyway.”

Thinking that Emery actually got a point there, I nodded and said, “Mom, please prepare one more set for me!”

I parked my car outside of Fuller Corporation and gave Joseph a call. In no time, he picked up my call. “Hello, Mrs. Fuller.”

“Mr. Campbell, is Ashton busy? I’m in front of the company. I was wondering if he already had lunch? I actually brought him some food.” I was a little nervous.

Joseph was silent for a while before he answered, “Mr. Fuller is in a meeting. I’ll come down and get you in. Mrs. Fuller, please wait for a moment.”

A few minutes later, Joseph came downstairs. He trotted toward me and took the lunchboxes from me. He smiled, “Mr. Fuller will definitely be happy to see you here!”

I put on a guilty smile because I felt like I should be apologizing for causing trouble.

In Ashton’s office, Joseph told me to wait for a while as Ashton was still in a meeting. Sitting alone in the big office, I couldn’t help but look around at my surroundings. It seemed that the office had been refurbished and upgraded in a brand new style. The interior was designed and decorated in a black and white theme. It was minimalistic yet elegant.

There was a bookshelf in the visitors’ room, with some collectible books on it. Some of the books were probably being held quite often as they were worn and torn. Despite having some flaws, it didn’t negatively affect its value.

Noticing how there weren’t any plants in his office, I couldn’t help but feel a little confused. Hence, I asked the secretary when she brought me tea, “Why aren’t there any plants in Mr. Fuller’s office?”

The secretary froze for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and answered, “Mr. Campbell said it was an order from Mr. Fuller. He said no plants are allowed in his office because you don’t like them. I heard that Ms. Ludwick, his former secretary had really pissed you off before. Therefore, Mr. Fuller has never put any plants in his office since then.”

After finishing her words, the secretary stuck her tongue out mischievously and smiled as she left.

Kristina was Ashton’s secretary back in J City. During that time, she decorated Ashton’s office with a lot of plants. Having known her evil intentions, I lost my temper and threw a tantrum at Ashton. Huh… I didn’t expect him to remember that. He even prohibited them from placing any plants up till now.

Several minutes later, when I was about to doze off, Ashton opened the door and walked in.

He was smiling and looking at me with fondness in his eyes. I started a conversation with a sense of guilt, “My mom said she didn’t manage to ask you to stay for lunch since you left in a rush just now. So, she wanted me to bring you lunch.”

He nodded and simply looked at me without saying another word. Then, he cast his gaze on the two lunchboxes.

I hesitated for a moment, “I…”

“Right… So, why are there two lunchboxes, then?” He raised his brows slightly as he looked at me. “Could it be that you’re going to have lunch with me?”

We just had an argument earlier. Even though I knew that it was actually my fault, I was still too embarrassed to apologize and make up with him. “Nope. It’s all for you!” I said since I wasn’t hungry anyway.

He simply hummed in acknowledgment. After that, he sat next to me and started opening the lunchboxes. It was two portions of the same dishes. He took everything out and put the cutlery in front of me. “Let’s eat!”

I pursed my lips. “I’m not hungry. You can have it!”

He gave me a sideways glance. “Are you trying to raise a pig or something?”

Dumbstruck for a moment, I stared at him blankly before I came to a sudden realization that he was saying that he couldn’t finish the food on his own and that I was treating him like a pig for giving him two helpings of food.

I blushed immediately. In the end, I lowered my head before picking up the fork and started eating.

After a moment of silence, I took the initiative to break it. In all seriousness, I said, “Ashton, I’m sorry!”

Ashton simply glanced briefly at me for my inexplicable sudden apology. Then, he nodded, “Alright, I got it.”

What? That’s all?

My lips twitched. How can he act in such a perfunctory manner? I struggled for a while and finally decided to apologize, but he’s brushing me off like that? Is there nothing else he can say?

I couldn’t help but sigh at the thought. I wasn’t sure if I should be happy or upset.

After having a taste of every dish on the table, he stared at me with his dark eyes. “Are you coming home with me tonight?”

Even though it was a question, it somehow felt like an order to me. I was shocked for a moment but I did not reject him instantly. “I just got back to the Moore Residence and I want to try and get along with them. I’ve been thinking about this when I was in the morgue. That if I had the chance, I would love to be with them. I wanted to tell them that I actually love them very much and I really wanted to spend more time with them. Ashton, I know that I’m not the perfect daughter. However, I’m still an ordinary human after all. I need love and affection from parents as well, just like every other person.”

In love, never say never chapter 847

He fixed me with an intense gaze. He remained silent for quite a long while before he nodded. “Alright. But don’t leave me suffering alone for too long.”

Suffering? He just said it was suffering instead of waiting. I guess it must be tormenting to him to keep waiting for me.

I simply stared at him blankly. In the few days that I had not seen him, I could see his eyes were now filled with sorrow and loneliness. Moreover, he was acting like a misanthrope, looking haggard and lonesome.

My heart ached to see him like that. Instinctively, I reached out my hands and stroke the spot between his brows. I muttered, “Are you feeling tired recently?”

He held my hands, his gaze softening. “It’s normal.”

I realized that I had never truly cared for him before. I leaned into his arms and hugged him. I asked,
