He paused and then placed all the reports on the
table. Patiently, he started explaining in a friendly
manner, “Mrs. Fuller, I’ve been doing research on
in vitro fertilization for nearly thirty years, and I’ve
encountered many challenging situations. Yours
isn’t the worst that I’ve seen, so don’t you worry
too much. As long as you heed medical advice, it’s
only a matter of time before you have your own
child. It’s extremely important for you to take it
easy and maintain a positive mindset. Leave the
rest to me, will you?”

I was not able to identify if those were just words

of comfort. Anyhow, I responded by nodding
blankly in order to make Ashton less anxious.

Professor Zidd then turned to Ashton. “Mr. Fuller,

what do you think? I think you’re aware that I
have an international project coming up in three
months’ time, so my time here in the country is
very limited. Should you confirm my position as
the consulting doctor for Mrs. Fuller’s case, I shall
immediately convene a meeting with my assistants
to discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan.”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

It was inevitable for the top fertility expert in the

country to have a packed schedule. The few times
we went in and out of his office, we noticed the
increasing number of patients queuing up in the
hallway, waiting to consult Professor Zidd. Hence,
it was not hard to understand why he wanted us to
confirm if he’s taking over the case.

At his level, he should be treated as a national

treasure who was held in high esteem wherever he
went. I believed that Ashton had engaged many of
his personal contacts to get a connection with
Professor Zidd. Thus, of course, it was unsaid for
us to try our best and follow his schedule.

As predicted, Ashton agreed right away, “You’re

the expert in this aspect. We’ll follow your lead.”

He tightened his grip on my hand and then cast a

glance at me. Once again, he opened his mouth
and pleaded earnestly with Professor Zidd, “Please
help us.”

My forehead creased as I lifted my head to look at

Ashton. At that critical moment, he was like a
devout believer praying to Professor Zidd, a deity.

At the spur of the moment, a proud man like

Ashton, who had been living a high and lofty life,
was no different than any Tom, Dick, and Harry.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

He had stooped so low for the sake of scoring a

chance to have our own child.

Yet, I was relieved seeing him like this, a total

burden off my shoulders. This side of him was way
charming than the authoritative figure in any
business meeting.

“I will,” Professor Zidd replied swiftly. Without

further ado, he started listing a page of
prescriptions. Then, he tore the page off and
passed it to Ashton. Solemnly, he said, “I’ve
learned about your backgrounds, Mr. Fuller.
There’s still a need for me to remind you that Mrs.
Fuller is my patient. In the next two months, she
must only consume the medicines that I’ve
prescribed. Please do not consult any other doctor
rashly nor use other types of medication. I hope
that you two can bear this in mind.”

I nodded obediently, not only because Professor

Zidd was an elder, but his competency and
professional work ethics were very convincing. As
an expert, he could have just provided some
treatment plans within the scope of his duties.
Instead, he empathized with us and went beyond
his remit to caution us of the risk of consuming
conflicting medications.

www.eBooksCat.Com

People who had gone through extreme pain and

grief were always yearning for a complete recovery
in the fastest possible time. So, they tend to seek
multiple advice from various doctors
simultaneously and consume different medications
to increase the likelihood of their recovery. It was
understandable why one would take that approach.
However, in most cases, it might produce negative
outcomes due to resistance caused by drug
poisoning.

Had it not been for Professor Zidd’s reminder, I

would continue taking the pills prescribed by the
doctor Sally and I consulted earlier.

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1102 By

eBooksCat
After pondering over this, I grew to trust Professor
Zidd more.

If Professor Zidd can’t help me get pregnant again,

there’s no more hope for me in this lifetime.

He gazed at us. Perhaps he found us not in the

best state of mind, he commented further,
“Actually, you don’t need to be overly anxious.
Medical technology is very advanced these days.
Having a damaged womb with an abnormally thin

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

lining of the endometrium is no longer an incurable

disease. In fact, it’s got quite a high chance of
recovery with proper medication.”

I could finally let out a stiff smile. “Thank you,

Professor Zidd.”

Thank you so much for giving me that glimpse of

hope of becoming a mother.

“Haha…” Professor Zidd placed his hands on the

desk. His benign smile and mannerisms were just
like a friendly senior that I’d known for years.
“Don’t thank me in advance. Getting prepared to
conceive is never an easy task. We’ll have to see
each other on a daily basis and go through a series
of exhausting treatments and tests. I’m afraid you
might blame me for it later on.”

I laughed. “You must be joking, Professor Zidd,

why would we?”

“I wasn’t kidding.” Professor Zidd turned to Ashton

and said, “Mr. Fuller is a busy man, but it’s critical
that you adjust your work schedules for these two
months and take good care of your wife. Having a
baby involves two individuals. The following days
are extremely important, so I hope that you can
accompany Mrs. Fuller to each of the upcoming
appointments.”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

I gasped. Just as I was about to ask him to be

more lenient on Ashton, he cut me off and replied,
“Absolutely!”

For the second time within the same day, I gazed

at Ashton in disbelief.

He seemed to have turned over a new leaf after

the new year. I could feel a sense of security just
by knowing that he was present, even without him
saying a word.

I did not interrupt him. Subsequently, Professor

Zidd gave Ashton some reminders about diet. It
was nothing special, but we were supposed to
avoid spicy food and consume more nutritious
meals.

Upon collecting the medicines, Ashton brought me

home.

During the journey, he received a call. I vaguely

heard something like “GW Group,” “Hold him up,”
and “I’ll be back soon” before he hung up.

I had only been in Fuller Corporation for a short

period of time and did not recall Ashton had
worked with that company before. Casually, I
asked him, “Is GW Group a new partner of Fuller
Corporation?”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

“Yes, the development of Fuller Corporation in K

City is looking good, but we still need some capital
injection from foreign consortia to achieve an ideal
state. Based on our partnership criteria, GW is one
of the best investment banks on Wall Street. The
other party has verbally agreed to this
collaboration, but I still need to iron out a few
unreasonable requests that they’ve made.”

I did not expect Ashton to share that many details

with me. Pursing my lips, I crafted a simple
response, “I see. Then, you should leave earlier
tomorrow.”

With his hands on the steering wheel, Ashton burst

into laughter and teased me, “I see that you’re
talking through your pregnancy brain before the
baby arrives. Their representative is already
waiting for me at the company. Once I send you
home, I’ll have to rush there right away.” Stunned,
I asked again, “So soon? Aren’t you only going
back to work tomorrow?”

He threw a look at me and then continued to focus

on the road. “Letty, there are no fixed holidays for
a businessman. After all, no one can ever resist a
good opportunity. Although Fuller Corporation is
going on steadily, it doesn’t mean that we can rest
and relax now. We need to plan strategically to

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

enter a bigger market with larger funds. It’s a dog-

eat-dog world out there, and we’ll lose out
eventually if we don’t work hard enough.”

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1103 By

eBooksCat
I understood his perspective. Fuller Corporation
had developed so well in J City and had also finally
stabilized its operations in K City. There was no
turning back now, so he could only keep expanding
his territories.

“You haven’t had much rest lately.” I felt sorry for

Ashton.

The festive season could be very tiring. When he

finally had a day of rest, he had to accompany me
to travel back and fro between two hospitals in the
morning and then rushed to the office to handle
some business matters in the afternoon. That man
was like a spinning top, constantly working.

Feeling smug, he muttered, “I see that someone is

missing her man already. Ahem… Should I cancel
the appointment later?”

I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop being so full of

yourself. Who misses you? Don’t use me as an

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

excuse if you plan to idle at home instead of

working.”

“Hahaha…” Ashton chuckled. I followed suit, but

with my face turned the other side, looking out the
window.

The sky in K City was typically murky as if it was

enveloped with a permanent layer of fog. It gave
people an overwhelming dejected feeling.

Professor Zidd said that it would take three months

to confirm the possibility of my pregnancy. I
couldn’t tell if that’s good or bad news. Anyhow,
the treatment process had already commenced.

People always say that the days are long but the
years are short. Summer has grown up without us
knowing. How long can three months be?

Once these ninety days pass me by and I could still

get pregnant, what should my pursuits be?

I was in a daze all the way home.

Since Ashton insisted to walk me to the door, I

dragged him inside of the house too.

We could already hear Summer’s voice before

entering.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

“Xavier, I’ve got lots of allowance. Shall I buy you

some candies?”

“Grand Aunt, can Xavier stay here and play with

me?”

Seems like Emery and Hunter are here.

Walking into the living room, I caught Emery

teasing Summer, “You love Xavier so much, don’t
you, Summer? Why don’t you ask your Mommy to
deliver you a baby brother?”

Sigh… I approached them while grumbling, “You’re

really going all out to persuade me to have a child,
aren’t you? I think you should make Professor
Zane work harder and give you a number two
while you guys are still young.”

As soon as she heard my voice, Summer dashed

toward me with a lollipop in her hand. “Mommy!”

Seeing Ashton by my side, she greeted him

courteously, “Daddy!”

I picked her up to sit down on the sofa with me. I

also took a piece of tissue and wiped off the sugar
stains around her lips. “Did you forget that you’ve
promised me to only eat lollipops once every two

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

days? Otherwise, too much sugar will lead to

cavities.”

Little children could never resist sweets. If I didn’t

control her, she wouldn’t know when to stop.

Feeling wronged, Summer pouted her lips. “Grand

Aunt gave it to me. She said that kids should enjoy
more candies during the festive season.”

Emery chimed in, “It’s no big deal, just one

lollipop. Let her enjoy it. You’re going to hinder her
development if you continue being a helicopter
parent.”

I refuted, “This has got nothing to do with her

development. Too much candy is bad for your
teeth and skin.”

“Once in a while is all right,” Emery defended

herself while Hunter advised her, “That’s enough.
Don’t interfere when Scarlett is educating her
child. You can do the same when you deal with
Xavier in the future.”

Emery shrugged her shoulders. “Okay.”

Then, she pointed at Ashton who was still

standing, and asked, “Where did you two go? Mrs.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

Eriksen mentioned that you left super early in the

morning.”

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1104 By

eBooksCat
“We had some matters to attend to.” I quickly
urged Ashton, “There’s pending business yet to be
resolved in the company, right? You should get
going.”

“Yes.” He nodded, exchanged greetings with the

Zanes, then off he went.

As soon as he exited the door, Emery asked, “Why

is he so busy? Isn’t it still the holiday season?”

“He has to meet some investors from another

country. Like what Ashton said, there are no fixed
holidays for a businessman, so he has to go along
with their schedule. Please excuse him as his
hands are tied too,” I explained on his behalf.

Ashton had broken an unsaid law by being absent

when there are visiting guests at home.

Hunter waved his hand and responded

indifferently, “Work is more important.”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

Emery, on the other hand, cast a glance at him

and then changed the topic, “So, what’s your
thought about what I’ve just said?”

“About what?” I was completely baffled.

“To grant Summer a brother,” Emery said excitedly

while grinning from ear to ear. “Frankly speaking,
Summer is too lonely. With Ashton being a
workaholic, Fuller Corporation will only grow to
become bigger in the near future. I’m sure he
needs someone to take over his businesses. Are
you seriously not going to consider having a
baby?”

I was almost rendered speechless. “You can really

go on and on about this.”

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s with your expression? I’m

thinking for your sake. I don’t usually care so
much about others, and you know that, right?”
Emery communicated her intention confidently in a
high-pitched voice.

Summer, who never quite understood our

conversations, seemed to get the main point this
time. Wrapping her chubby hands around my neck,
she requested coquettishly, “I want a brother,
Mommy!”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

As soon as Emery heard that, she became all

energetic and excited. “Oh, did you hear that?
Summer has spoken. Now, it’s not just me who’s
asking for it.”

Hunter and I exchanged glances and laughed.

Emery had sure been brainwashing Summer about
having a baby brother, that was why the cheeky
girl had it etched in her heart.

Right then, Mrs. Eriksen served us some hot tea. I

then took the opportunity and called out to her,
“Mrs. Eriksen, please bring Summer for nap time.”

“All right, Mrs. Fuller.” Mrs. Eriksen gestured to

carry Summer. “Come, Summer, it’s time to take a
nap.”

“I don’t want to!” Burying her head in my arms,

she tightened her grip on my neck, having no
intention to let go at all. “I still want to play with
Xavier.”

Ugh… The older the child gets, the harder it is to

discipline them, especially when there are others
around.

I suppressed my emotions and put on a stern look

while pulling Summer aside. Staring into her eyes,

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

I said sternly, “Take a nap first. When you wake

up, you can continue playing with Xavier, okay?”

Since I was seldom strict with her, the trick

worked. She noticed my upset expression and
followed Mrs. Eriksen upstairs obediently.

Right after Summer left, Emery had her own maid

take Xavier to the guest room to rest.

They were quite familiar with our house because it

was not their first time here.

Silence permeated the living room after the

children left. After a while, I told them about
Professor Zidd.

Emery was so thrilled that she could not stop

clapping her hands. “Really? That means you’re
likely going to have a child this year?” I pressed
my lips into a thin line and nodded with a smile.

I’m truly glad to be able to conceive again. I guess

this is how I feel right now.

“That’s awesome! You two are finally going to have

your own baby. This family is now complete, and I
don’t need to worry about you anymore.” Emery
was utterly relieved. The next moment, she
slapped Hunter’s thigh as an idea flashed through

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

her mind. “Since Ashton is so busy with work, why

don’t we accompany Scarlett to the hospital?”

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1105 By

eBooksCat
Before I could reject the offer, Hunter said after
faltering, “Well, at first I could, but the economics
scholars in K City are organizing an interactive
seminar. Hence, I’ll have to attend that every day
starting tomorrow.”

Upon that, Emery was rather displeased. She

mocked, “Why didn’t I hear this from you before?”

“The memo was released yesterday,” Hunter

answered. “It’s held in K City for a month, so I
contemplated. But seeing how hard Mr. Fuller
works motivates me to follow in his footsteps.
Thus, I’ve just sent a message on my phone to
notify them I’ll be there.”

“You only have two months of holiday in a year.

Now, you plan to spend a month interacting with
scholars? Have you forgotten about your wife and
son?” Emery’s expression turned sour.

“Haha…” Hunter leaned over and hugged her

shoulders. He said carefully, “I’ve registered on
your behalf too, so we can go together. My parents

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

will take care of Xavier. In this case, I’m still

spending time with you.”

“Save it.” Emery avoided him and moved away to

the opposite side. “I’m not up for any sophisticated
interaction during the festive season. You have a
good time while I accompany Scarlett to the
hospital.”

“Haha…” Hunter gazed at her lovingly. He’s indeed

a very patient man.

Though they seem to always pick on each other,

the fact was, none of them could live without the
other. It did not take long for Emery to come up
with an excuse to take an early leave and spend
quality time with Hunter at home.

I went straight to bed since I woke up early that

day.

When I got up, it was already seven in the

evening.

Summer was playing building blocks in the living

room. As soon as she saw me, she darted toward
me and commented, “Mommy, you napped for so
long. You’re a lazy pig!”

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

“Haha… If I’m a lazy pig, then you’re a lazy piglet.”

I picked her up and played with her as we headed
to the dining area. “Mrs. Eriksen, did Ashton come
home?”

Mrs. Eriksen walked out from the kitchen while

wiping her hands on her apron. “No. Madam, could
you call Mr. Fuller and ask? Dinner is ready. I’ll
serve them once he’s home.”

“All right.”

I put Summer down and called Ashton.

He answered the phone immediately, “What’s

wrong?”

“Will you be home soon?” I asked.

“I’m still here at the office. You don’t need to wait

for me. I probably won’t be able to return in time
to have dinner with you all,” he said over the
phone.

“Are the matters with GW not settled yet?”

“They gave in, but I have my own bottom line. I’m

not working on that right now. Since it will be my
first day back to work tomorrow, I’m trying to
complete some of the pending projects. Or else, I

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

won’t have time to go to the hospital with you

tomorrow.”

I knew Ashton would be very busy when he got

back to work. However, I did not expect him to be
so overloaded with projects. Hence, I felt so sorry
for him. “Emery said she can accompany me, so
you don’t need to show up every day. The
company can’t do without you during this critical
period of growth, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I know what to do. You just need to take care of

your health and leave the rest to me. Oh,
remember to consume the pills after a meal. Also,
don’t take those medications given by Aunt Sally.”

He was quite long-winded. Sulking unknowingly, I

nodded. “Okay, I will. Anyway, you should get
back to your work.”

After hanging up, I faced the kitchen and

announced, “Mrs. Ericksen, Ashton won’t be back
for dinner, so we can go ahead without him.”

Shortly after, Mrs. Eriksen plated all the dishes on

the table.

Surprisingly, Summer had a very good appetite

that day and licked her plate clean. She even

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

insisted on shelling the shrimps and ended up with

her hands full of roes.

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1106 By

eBooksCat
After dinner, I played with Summer for a while
before tucking her into bed. She was quite tired, so
she fell asleep very quickly.

Seeing that it was still early and not many people

were at work at Fuller Corporation today, I asked
Mrs. Eriksen to reheat a few dishes. There wasn’t
much to eat around the area, so I drove to the
office to bring food for Ashton.

Even though it was winter, there was a huge

difference between day and night temperatures in
K City. Despite being wrapped up in a thick wool
jacket, I was still trembling away. Hence, I dashed
into the office the moment I got out of the car.

There were not many people there at this hour.The

only security guard downstairs remembered me, so
he allowed me into the building after some small
talk.

Somehow, the office looked rather desolate with

just one row of lights switched on.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

I remembered where Ashton’s office was, so I

headed there with the lunchbox. However, I heard
a woman’s flirtatious voice when I reached the
door.

“Mr. Fuller, you haven’t had dinner, right? There is

a new restaurant opposite our office. Shall we go
there to grab a bite before coming back to
continue our work?”

It was a very familiar voice. I instinctively tilted my

head and saw Stella’s side profile. At the very
same time, Ashton looked up and noticed that I
was there.

He was probably about to respond to Stella then.

Immediately, he stood up and walked toward me.
“What are you doing here? It’s really cold out
there, and you should be wearing more.”

“I’m brought dinner for you, Mr. Fuller.” I showed

him the grey lunchbox. As I spoke, there was still
some water vapor lingering in the air near my lips.

He took a look at the lunchbox and put it aside.

Then, he picked up both of my hands and rubbed
them in his palm while saying almost half-jokingly,
“Thank you so much, Mrs. Fuller.”

I pouted and did not respond to that.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

It was only then that Stella managed to interrupt

us. After greeting me respectfully, she said to
Ashton, “I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Fuller.”

With that, she squeezed past me to leave the

room.

I watched her as she walked away with an

awkward expression.

Ashton craned his neck to take a look as well, but

he clearly did not get the point. “What are you
looking at?”

“Nothing. Let’s eat.” I released his hand and

brought the lunchbox to the coffee table.

He was indeed hungry and was not picky about his

food at all. Taking bites out of every dish that I
had brought, he ate his meal slowly and elegantly.

While he was eating, I walked around his office.

When I saw a document about the GW Group, I
picked it up and flipped through it casually.

“The GW investment bank from M Country was

founded in 1920, and today, they are amongst the
top one hundred investment banks in the world.
While their assets are not fully audited yet, they

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

have a conservative liquid net worth of over a

hundred billion…”

I could not help but be taken aback as I read this

quietly to myself. How did Ashton attract such a
mega-corporation?

“Ashton,” I asked him while I held up the

document, “Are you sure this is not about GW
wanting to acquire Fuller Corporation but rather
whether you will allow them to invest in the
company?” He glanced at me and continued eating
slowly while explaining, “Fuller Corporation is
already a household name within the country, and
it is imperative that we begin our overseas
expansion. Moreover, the Aploth construction
market has always been a gaping hole in GW’s
portfolio. Therefore, the idea of acquisition has
probably crossed their mind now that they’ve
approached us.”

I brought it up casually but did not expect to hit

the nail on the head. Not knowing what to say in
response to his solemn look, I quietly put the
document back.

When a company was listed and had the intention

to expand beyond the domestic market, it would
definitely have to deal with the capitalists. Those
with less than stable stances might just disappear

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

with the cash after selling off their company. All of

their technical resources would then land in the
hands of these capitalists. In fact, these resources
could even be lost before they had a chance to
venture out of the country!

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1107 By

eBooksCat
Thus, many capitalists exploited this weakness to
plunder technical resources in order to expand
their own businesses. At the same time, they
would limit the company’s domestic development
while killing off every potential competitor. This
was how they fortified their control over the
economy.

Clearly, Ashton would never betray Fuller

Corporation. This was not only because it was his
family business, but more importantly, he had his
personal aspirations.

Cameron and Emery had mentioned many times

that Ashton was no ordinary talent. Under his
management, Fuller Corporation would expand
internationally sooner or later. Indeed, it took just
five years for him to move the company
headquarters to K City. As expected, there was
more development in the pipeline within their
business development plan.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

Just like any other man, there was no end to his

career aspirations. The more capable he was, the
farther his goal would be.

Of course, like what Ashton had said, plenty of

uninvited guests would come knocking when a
company reached a certain scale. GW was the best
example here. In order to open up the Aploth
market, they humbled themselves before Fuller
Corporation and practically presented funds to
them with their own bare hands. While GW would
rely on Fuller Corporation in order to develop in the
Aploth construction market, Fuller Corporation
would still be their first acquisition target in the
end.

Dealing with capitalists was akin to getting blood

from a stone. Therefore, Ashton was
understandably grim when the topic of financing
came up.

I knew that he had been very worried about it, so I

changed the topic after falling silent for a while.
Looking at the door, I asked, “Is the project at
Moranta completed?”

From where I was, I could see Stella’s cubicle

clearly. When I was talking, she was right there
working away, and I could see her every

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

movement; she would occasionally switch her

position between sitting and standing.

Is this how Ashton and Stella work on a regular

basis?

After some time in the corporate world, I had

gained some understanding of the things that
happened between secretaries and their bosses.
Those lecherous bosses usually deployed subtle
tricks to take advantage of their female staff. Who
then arranged this vantage point for Stella and
Ashton?

When I took a closer look, Stella was not the

particularly attractive type. When she was looking
down whilst working, she looked very obedient.
Generally speaking, she just emanated a down-to-
earth vibe.

The boy I met in the mall, Justin, looked quite

compatible with her. However, she seemed
repulsed by the idea of being with him. Is it
because of Ashton?

At this thought, I subconsciously shifted my

probing gaze to Ashton.

There was nothing different about him as he sat

upright on the sofa. There was no expression on

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

his face as well as he said blankly, “Joseph

reported some problems during our video
conference this afternoon. They will only be able to
resume work after the new year.”

“Oh..” I could not help but smile as I saw his

almost robotic expression.

After all these years together, I understood him

well.

With his good looks and business talent, there was

always an unending trail of women throwing
themselves at him. Some could only flaunt their
looks, while those who lacked in the looks
department made up for it with their business
acumen. Finally, there were also those beautiful
girls with strong family backgrounds. However,
Ashton probably did not even remember their
faces. When it came to his staff, he treated them
equally regardless of their genders, and Stella was
no exception.

However, this did not erase the possibility of

Stella’s continued interest in Ashton. Hence, I
decided to have a private chat with Joseph later
and have him come back earlier.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1108 By

eBooksCat
While it was true that everyone had the right to
pursue the things they wanted, if the direction was
wrong, they should put a stop to it in order to cut
the losses.

I was quite worried that Rebecca’s story would

repeat itself. Apart from her personality, another
reason she was reluctant to let Ashton go was that
she had invested so much time, energy, and
emotions in him. When things did not go her way,
it was only natural for her to be disgruntled and
sullen. In the end, her mind went awry.

Stella was an intelligent person who could help

Ashton at work. The only problem was that her
heart was not in the right place. I did not want to
make a scene out of it, so I could only hope that
she could see the reality when Joseph was back.

Now that I was rid of my worries, I sat down next

to Ashton and accompanied him while he ate.

He stopped eating and looked at me. “It’s getting

late. Go home.”

With that, he picked up his jacket and dragged me

outside.

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

I thought it was strange and asked him as we

walked, “What about your work?”

“I don’t care.” He looked very anxious while he led

me outside. When we walked past Stella, she stood
up to greet us, but he picked up his pace as if he
did not hear her at all.

In the elevator, he looked rather agitated as his

dark eyes were fixated on the information screen,
but I couldn’t read his mind at all.

After buckling my seatbelt, I could not help but ask

him, “Did something happen?”

“Mmhmm,” he replied. He looked serious and

earnest as he placed his hands on the steering
wheel. “Something trivial but very troublesome.”

I frowned and looked at him quizzically. How could

a trivial matter be troublesome?

However, he did not say anything else, stepping

onto the accelerator, and in less than half an hour,
we arrived home.

Mrs. Eriksen welcomed us at the door. “Welcome

home, Mr. and Mrs. Fuller.”

“Mm,” Ashton responded nonchalantly before

pulling me upstairs, making Mrs. Eriksen more
confused than ever.

The moment we got into the room, he pressed me

against the wall. After he kicked the door shut, he
bent down to kiss me. His kiss was domineering
and possessive, and it didn’t take long for my
breathing to turn heavy.

His unpredictability caught me off guard. Before I

completely lost all sense of rationality, I struggled
to push him away. Then, I panted heavily while
asking, “What’s going on with you? Didn’t you say
you had something to deal with?”

His breathing was uneven, and his eyes looked like

they were on fire. He seemed as though he wanted
to eat me up with his Adam’s apple bobbing up and
down. “I’m dealing with it right now.”

“Oh?” I was confused.

“Do you remember this morning’s checkup?”

“Yes, I do…” I nodded. It was only then that I

remembered that we did different checkups. My
face immediately turned red as I bit my lips and
teased him, “So you have been holding it back for
the entire day?”

His eyes darkened as he picked me up in one fell

swoop and walked into the bedroom. Then, he
smothered me with kisses, and everything
happened naturally.

It took him almost two hours before he let me go

contentedly.

I lay down to rest while he took a shower.

Propping up the pillow, I waited for him to come
back to bed. He’s going to be busier when work
resumes tomorrow.

However, he came out of the bathroom in a

bathrobe and headed straight to the wardrobe.
When he emerged again, he was dressed
impeccably in a suit again.

“You are going back to the office?” His

appointment with Professor Zidd was at 9 a.m., so
going back to the office at this hour meant that he
would not be back too early. At that thought, I
started worrying that he wouldn’t have time to
sleep

He walked to the bedside and bent down to plant a
feathery light kiss on my forehead. Softly, he said,

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

“I’ve something to settle by tonight. You go ahead

and sleep first.”

“Alright.” I sighed as I knew I should not get in the

way of his career, but I could not help but remind
him, “Come back earlier and don’t sleep in the
office as you could catch a chill there.”

He smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m fully recharged now,

so I can work through the night.”

I blushed and pretended to nag him, “Be quick

then, and come back early.”

He hummed in response and left with his phone.

The moment he was gone, silence filled the house,

and I was not sleepy anymore.

When I took a look at the time, it was only 11 p.m.

The most exciting part of the night had just begun.

Recalling Professor Zidd’s advice, I got dressed and

got off the bed to take my medication. At the same
time, I got rid of my previous supplements.

Prescription medicine usually had a short shelf life.

Regardless of whether Professor Zidd would
continue to be my doctor, I had no more need for
these supplements.

Suddenly, I recalled that Summer was a light

sleeper, so I put on a jacket and went into her
room. It was not until I saw that she was in deep
sleep under her covers that I felt relieved.

I was still very awake when I was back in the

bedroom, so I sat up against the bed to scroll on
my phone idly.

Within minutes, Emery sent a WhatsApp

message: Are you waiting for someone to chat
with you, lonely wildcat?

I laughed out loud. How could she still say things

like that as a mother? But I still replied: Name
your price.

I burst out laughing after I sent the message.

How is this appropriate conversation content for

two mothers?

Almost immediately, Emery called me up. “What’s

up with you? Why are you all alone like me?”

I laughed as she was incredibly spot-on at times.

“Isn’t Professor Zane at home?”

She complained disgruntledly, “Don’t even get me

started. He rushed to that seminar in the middle of

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

the night. I don’t get it. Why couldn’t he just stay

at home during this festive season? Do these
academics have a different brain structure or
something?”

Emery had always been like that. Although she had

a ruthless tongue, her heart was warm and caring.
Knowing that she could not bear to be without
Hunter, I teased her, “Professor Zane is not just
young and accomplished but handsome as well.
Why didn’t you go with him? Aren’t you worried
about those devious girls?”

Men in their thirties were generally more attractive

than those in their twenties. At this stage, they
would become more mature and sophisticated. On
top of that, they would have attained a certain
level in their careers. Hence, men like Hunter, who
were more sensitive and caring, would appear
incredibly attractive to young girls.

I had always felt that Hunter probably attracted

more women than Ashton did, given that he was
working in a university.

Emery snorted, “Whatever, I don’t care. He can be

my guest if he wants to look for a pretty young
thing since I’m sick of being a professor’s wife
anyway. If that happens, I’ll get myself a young
guy. There is no way I will lose out to him here.”

I was speechless as I knew that this was

something she would definitely do. With her
eloquence, many girls would have fallen for
Emery’s sweet talk if she had been born a man.

Seeing that I did not respond, Emery continued,

“Actually, I don’t really care whether Hunter can be
at home to keep me company. To me, the main
problem is with my in-laws. You know what I’m
talking about. Even though we have been married
for so long, I still don’t feel completely at ease with
them. The moment Hunter is away, his parents
and I become so incredibly polite to each other, it
feels like we’re strangers rather than family. The
atmosphere is so awkward that I can barely
breathe!”

Emery had been complaining about Hunter’s
parents since they were newlyweds. She thought it
would get better after they had children, but the
problem still remained. After giving it some
thought, I comforted her, “Fate has brought you
together as a family. However, it is normal to have
a gap between two generations. It would be best
to have more communication with them since they
are your husband’s parents. No one would love you

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

two more than they do. Think about it, if your

parents were still around, would you find it hard to
communicate with them?”

“Maybe,” Emery was still not very enthusiastic and

replied listlessly. “My dad was very old when I was
born, and we barely enjoyed any quality time as a
family when he passed on, so I can only imagine
what it would have been like. But it is clearly not
working, hence my complaints to you now.”

Hearing her heartfelt words, I realized that she

was quite right. Emery was about my age, and
after her father passed away, the only family she
had was Zachary’s family. Even though they were
supposed to be like family to her, there was still a
gap between them. This was why she did not
understand what it was like to have a good family
time.

Everyone was different, and some things simply

could not be forced. But there was nothing much I
could do except coax her. “Just vent and rant as
much as you want if you are unhappy, as long as
you don’t say all these in front of Hunter’s
parents.”

Emery’s voice suddenly hit a higher pitch. “I’m not

dumb. I am hiding in my bedroom right now.
Scarlett, you have underestimated me. Even

www.eBooksCat.Com
 www.eBooksCat.Com

though I am not very happy with this family, the

person I want is Hunter. As long as we are fine, I
will be able to keep it together. Do you
understand?”

Before I could respond, she answered the question

herself, “Whatever, you won’t understand since
you don’t have in-laws to deal with. Anyway, I
should head to bed. Oh wait, what time are you
going to the hospital tomorrow morning?”

I guess she only wanted to go to the hospital with

me to avoid staying at home. “Nine in the
morning.”

“All right, I’ll be there too. Just wait for me at

home.”

With that, she hung up.

I stared helplessly as my phone screen went blank.

For generations, there had been constant issues
arising between in-laws. However, I was sure that
Emery would be able to handle it well.

After all, what are these little family tiffs to a

woman who’s successful in K City?

All these are just trivial matters, so I’m sure Emery

won’t bear grudges.

These thoughts put me at ease. After putting down

my phone, I went to bed. The next day.

I was just making my way downstairs when Emery

arrived. The moment Summer saw Emery, she ran
up to her and greeted, “Grandaunt!”

“Good girl, Summer. Did you miss me?” Emery

enveloped her in her arms before complaining,
“Hang on, we are about the same age, but why am
I part of the older generation? Summer, you
should just call me Aunt Emery from now on.
Calling me Grandaunt makes me sound older than
I am!”

As a precocious child, Summer immediately

understood Emery and greeted her in a sweet
voice, “Auntie…”

Instantly, this brought a smile to Emery’s face as

she responded to Summer, “Oh, you are so smart,
Summer. Come! I’ll reward you with a lollipop!”

With that, she fished out a lollipop from her

Hermes bag and stuffed it into Summer’s plump
little hand.
