Chapter 192

Ashton snorted and put me down on my feet. Throwing John and the roses he was holding a scornful look, he said indifferently, “You like this sort of courting method?”

“No.” I paused before adding, “But a lot of women do.”

“It’s way too early!” I did a quick calculation, noting my birthday was still roughly two weeks away. “Besides, I never celebrate my birthday.”

I stared at the bouquet, my brows crinkling in a frown. It was way too large for me to comfortably carry it.

Before I could think of a solution, Ashton snatched the bouquet away. “Mr. Stovall, how very romantic of you! Unfortunately, Scarlett has never really liked flowers. Please be a little more thoughtful next time!”
