From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 318

Seraphina’s face grew warm just thinking about what happened yesterday afternoon. She couldn’t help but look away, embarrassed.

Kendrick caught her expression and jumped in before Adolphus could say anything else. “You should start practicing now. Stop calling me Kendrick. It’s brother-in-law from now on.”

Adolphus could already tell something was going on between them. He snorted. “Brother-in-law? Maybe try that after you actually marry her. She gets bored of anything new in a month. You should worry about not getting dumped first.”

“Excuse me, Adolphus, what’s that supposed to mean? Do I seem that flaky? Since when do I lose interest in a month?” Seraphina shot back, clearly annoyed at her brother’s teasing. Sure, she was a little slow on the uptake when it came to Kendrick’s feelings, but that didn’t mean she was some heartless player. Now that she’d chosen Kendrick, she wasn’t messing around.

Adolphus just smirked and stayed quiet, but Kendrick looked suddenly uneasy. He glanced at Seraphina, doubt flickering in his eyes.

Seraphina noticed and couldn’t help but laugh, nudging Kendrick in the stomach. “Seriously, you and Adolphus are impossible. If you don’t trust me, why did you chase after me in the first place? And you’re the one bringing me food twice a day.”

Laurinda leaned against Adolphus, quietly watching the whole scene play out, one person making a fuss, the other trying to smooth things over.

She poked Adolphus in the side and looked up at him with a smile. “Honestly, those two are more entertaining than any New Year’s show.”

By dinnertime, everyone was home. When Balaam and Regan found out Seraphina and Kendrick were together, their faces lit up with relief and approval.

Angelica and Fidelia whispered to each other, “That Cupid shrine really works. We prayed for Kendrick and boom, good news already.”

Kendrick overheard and nodded. “It’s true. That shrine actually works.”
