In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1655

The bright red shade of the wedding dress reflected subtly against the white hospital walls, coloringthem with a faint blush that formed and disappeared like ocean waves as I walked past.

No one else was there to watch, which was why the journey was completely unobstructed.

Joseph placed the neatly folded groom’s outfit in my hands and opened the door respectfully beforestepping aside.

When I walked in, I saw Marcus taking a shallow nap on his bed. He only opened his eyes a fewseconds after hearing my footsteps.

It probably appeared to be a dream to him until he saw the dress I was wearing. The moment he sawme, his eyes widened, and his gaze became completely alert.

“Y-You-” Marcus stammered, unable to form a full sentence in his excitement.

I picked up the layers of my skirt with my fingers and smiled. “Doesn’t it look nice? Remember how Itold you that I would definitely wear a dress like this when I get married?”

“I-It looks good,” Marcus said in a raspy voice. His eyes gleamed with happiness before dulling downagain. “What does all this have to do with me, though?”

I smiled and lifted up the groom’s suit in hand. After I walked over, I placed it on his bed and said, “Youwanted to get married, right? I’ve finally thought it over. Go get changed! We’ll get married right now.”

The longer I looked at the groom’s suit, the more I started to think about Ashton instead. I couldn’t helpbut smile and couldn’t help myself from straightening out the creases with my palm. “No matter howmuch I look at it, this is such a nice style of formal dressing.”

After I spoke, I finally came to my senses and looked at him with narrowed eyes. “You’re not regrettingthings, are you?”

Marcus didn’t answer and changed the subject. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

I maintained my smile as I shrugged and said casually, “You were the one who said it, remember? Nomatter what, I can’t say no. If I said it was because I owed it to you or because I felt bad for you, wouldyou suddenly turn me down? If that’s the case, I’m happy to go home.”

“No,” Marcus quickly said as he swung off the blanket and sat up with difficulty. “It sounds like you wantme to say no. Don’t worry, I won’t. I will officially become your husband.”

“Whatever you say. Either way, there’s no way you’re getting out of this one,” I said faux-nonchalantly.After that, I turned around and walked out as I said, “Joseph will help you change. Let’s meet at thechurch.”

“Wait!” Marcus called out, the force of his voice causing him to cough once loudly. Even after hecoughed, though, he didn’t finish his sentence.

Despite that, I knew what he wanted to say. He was just worried that I’d suddenly go back on my word.

“You know me. Since I agreed, I will keep my promise.”

After that, I walked out of the room without waiting for Marcus’ response.

I closed the door and took the bag that Camelia had left in front of the door before walking to a saferspot. As per the plan, I then made a call to Camelia.

“You finally decided to call!” The hospital had been closed off since last night, so Camelia was clearlyhighly-strung after not being able to see Marcus for so long. “Ashton’s guards didn’t let me go upstairs,

and you weren’t picking up your phone. What are the two of you up to? Even if you got cold feet, youshouldn’t be stopping me from seeing him! He never did anything to either of you!”

“Just calm down first,” I said with a sigh. “I’m going downstairs. Go wait for me at the back entrance.”

“You’re leaving?” Camelia’s logic was already taken over by her panic. “Scarlett, was I wrong to trustyou?”

“No, that’s not it.” I knew that if I tried to explain now, things would only get messier, so I said abruptly,“Anyway, I’ll see you at the back entrance. Of course, whether you come or not is up to you.”

As I expected, Camelia was already waiting for me when I reached the back entrance.

She looked at me with resentment and blame in her eyes. I knew she probably had a lot of things to tellme, but I didn’t let her explode on the spot. Instead, I passed her the bag the moment I walked in frontof her.

“Wear this.”

Camelia took the bag from me and looked at the clothes inside of it. She clearly still hadn’t realizedwhat was going on. “What’s this?”

“Again, whether you change into this or not is up to you. This is as far as I can compromise.”
