In Love, Never Say Never

Left with no choice, I could only cook up an excuse and replied indifferently, “Our personalities clash.”

“Huh?” Being smart as she was, Emery was not convinced. “Are you kidding me? What clash could there be? It’s been ten years. Any sharp edges should’ve been sanded off. Scarlett Stovall, you’d better tell me the truth!”

I knew that she would catch me if I put on an act, so I kept quiet for a while before I came up with an answer. “As you’ve already known, I was kidnapped a while ago. The kidnapper is Ashton’s enemy. I asked him to stop his revenge, but he refuses, so I divorce him. We won’t get back together again.” I tried to appear as indifferent as possible.

Unsurprisingly, my reply was too much for her to take in, so she was obviously stupefied. Knitting her brows, she gave it some thought and said, “I recently heard some rumors that the Ziegler family feuds with the Fullers in private. After John exposed the scandals of the Ziegler family on Facebook, I thought that you and the Fullers are on the same side… However, why must you opt for divorce since there’s no issue in your relationship? Do you know that you’re just making room for another woman by doing so?”

I found it odd that she had been nervously emphasizing the women around Ashton after she came in.

At first, I thought of telling her the truth, but the fewer people knew about it, the lower the risk, so I could only continue to play along.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Putting down my cutlery, I took a piece of tissue and wiped my mouth. “You know, I was extremely terrified and helpless when I almost lost my babies. But he didn’t give a damn. Not only did he not back down, but he also broke Mitchell’s arms and angered the Ziegler family. He’s out of his mind. I don’t want to be with him anymore as I don’t want to fail as a mother again.”

Emery fell silent. After a long while, she let out a sigh and asked, “Have you really thought it through?”

“Yes. I’ve even signed the divorce agreement.” I spoke feebly, but it made me look indifferent as if I had really gotten over it and was unfazed by it.

For some reason, Emery actually believed me as she cast her eyes down and lamented, “You were finally together after much difficulty, but why would things turn out like this?”

She looked particularly sad as she murmured to herself. If I had not known that her relationship with Hunter was stable, I would have thought that she had been wounded in her relationship

Knowing that she had only good intentions, I did not want her to worry, so I patted her on the back of her hand and assured her, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll live the rest of my life well for the sake of my kids no matter what.”

She looked up with a mysterious gaze. “You’re so different today.”

Being born a clever hunter, she widened her beautiful eyes as she gazed at me, as though she could see right through me.

Feeling guilty, I raised an eyebrow and turned my face away while explaining, “Maybe because I got scared and didn’t get a good rest last night.”

It was not a very convincing explanation. I did not know if Emery was buying it as she simply stared at me for a while in silence.

Meanwhile, a maid came in from the courtyard and reported, “Ms. Stovall, an elderly man named Ezra Grant asks to see you.”

We’ve only met once, but why does this cunning man come? He must be up to something.

On second thought, I knew that I should not be rude to him. Moreover, Ashton and I had made known publicly that we had a massive falling-out, so I had no reason to avoid seeing his enemy. “Bring him in.”

Emery helped me up to walk over to sit in the living room as she asked, “What a rare sight for Ezra to be visiting the Stovall residence.”

“You even know about this?” I smiled. Emery was so good at gathering information that even Holden would be put in the shade.

“It’s not a secret in K City that Louis and Ezra don’t like each other. But the outsiders are sure that the two of them are cutting each other out till the end of days. Now I’m so lucky that I can actually bear witness to such a historic moment when they meet.” Emery suddenly became energetic without any sign of disappointment from earlier.

Women were always thrilled to learn about gossips.

Feeling helpless, I ruined it for her by saying, “You’ve thought too much. Uncle Louis isn’t home, so they won’t meet.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps as the maid led Ezra to the living room. With Emery’s help, I rose to my feet carefully.

Ezra hurried over and waved his hands, looking anxious. “You should sit down now that you’re pregnant.”

Then, he also took his seat.

Emery sneered at his action as she nudged me and secretly gave me a look that meant, Look at him. Not only does he come uninvited, but he also makes it look like he’s the host here in an instant. What a tough nut to crack!

I pursed my lips and shot her a look that told her not to act rashly.
