She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

117 Ava’s Offer

Scarlett’s POV

“What’s this farce?” Jack Fuller grunts sullenly, his eagle eyes nailing on the cameraman sullenly, “This is the Fuller’s Villa, and he–”

“…and he is MY cameraman. Dunn Entertainment assigned him to me, you know? For my first movie,” I smile at him, and successfully light up fire in his eyes with that, “Aren’t you proud of me?”

Aurora was right. Acting with real emotions makes acting so much easier. I AM happy to see Jack Fuller irritated, which makes me smile wider, and hence, him angrier.

Perfect!

Anna Fuller shoots a worried look at her husband, and pausing for a second, Jack Fuller turns on his fox mode–

“Of course I am,” He opens his arms as he walks over, “I’m proud that you rejected my help only because you wanted to prove yourself. That’s, my girl.”

Watching him walk closer, I’m so grossed out that goosebumps stand. I can’t stand a hug from him. I’d throw up.

I think Jack Fuller knows that, and that’s exactly why he is doing this.

He is so many levels above Ava.

“I’m here because Ava begged me to move back,” I have to throw my bomb earlier than planned, “But I wasn’t sure if you’d allow it. Would you…DAD?”

He pauses for a second, turning to look at Ava. I take my chance and walk up to Mom for a hug before I stay by her side.

Jack Fuller knows better than to make the same move twice just to

“I did NOT!” Ava blurts angrily, “You lying bi

With just one glare, Jack Fuller successfully shuts her up.

“You did! How could you say that!” I act with no emotion, saying the lines with a flat face, “I have evidence–ohh, you threw my phone into the pool… I guess it’s gone now…”

I can’t act. Seriously. I think everyone could tell I was acting because. even my cameraman was having a hard time holding his laugh back.

But Anna Fuller falls for it – or, she is very used to take things as literal and ignore the facts right under her nose: “Of course Ava wants you back! I’m just happy that you finally come around, Scar.”

“Thanks, Mom,” I find it harder to smile at her than at Jack Fuller, “The shooting starts next week, so I might need Alfred to drive me around for the next couple of months, is that okay?”

“Of course!” Anny Fuller agrees with no hesitation, smiling genuinely.

She loves giving what she is capable of anything material to make her feel like she is also giving me “love“. When I faint for donating blood, she would praise me and buy me good stuff, then secretly buy twice as much for Ava, then Ava would sneakily come and brag to me about it.

Ava can’t stand me getting anything, and that’s what this is about. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Anny Fuller is not my target. I can’t hate her, and I hope to never see her again once this is done.

“Mom!” Ava gasps in shock, “Alfred is Daddy’s driver!”

Before I would take Ava’s love for Jack Fuller as one of the few

genuineness out of her. But nowadays, I feel more and more like that’s just another good weapon to use for her to paint her image and manipulate.

“We have three drivers around here, we can spare one for Scar,” Annal Fuller puts on her parental tone, “she earned such a good opportunity on her own, she deserves some reward.”

Ava looks like she’s about to cry.

Wait, I haven’t even served the main dish yet.

“Welcome home, Scarlett,” Jack Fuller exhausts his patience, “This place will always be your home.”

While I knew the Fullers would pretend that we didn’t just have a huge fallout, I’m still amazed to see it, every time. I mean, this is how they dealt with it every time I was caught running away.

Nothing “happens” at the Fullers.

“Ava also offered me her room,” I say, trying as hard as I can to not laugh, “I wouldn’t want to but she insisted that her room is much better than the attic I used to live in, and that I need good rest for my new job–”

“What did you just say?!” Ava totally lost it. She charges over for the camera but Lucas dodges her quickly, almost sticking the camera in her face. She stomps her foot, turning to Jack Fuller, “Daddy-”

“…because you said you don’t want to force me to go live with Sebastian since we are going through a divorce,” I finish my line leisurely, “I was so touched by that offer. Was that not true?”

Ava opens her mouth like a fish on land, unable to utter any more words.
