From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 340

Tanya noticed Laurinda seemed a little out of it, so she asked gently, “Are we bothering you?”

Laurinda smiled, shaking her head. “Not at all. I just woke up, so my brain’s still catching up.” She helped Tanya over to the sofa, then turned to Abigail with a friendly smile. “Hi, Abigail.”

Abigail smiled back, relieved that Laurinda didn’t look shaken after everything that happened last night. She’d liked Laurinda from the very first time they met, and now she was eager for her to meet her daughter-in-law. She gave a little wave toward the young woman beside her. “Laurinda, let me introduce you. This is my daughter-in-law, Carla. Carla, this is Laurinda—the girlfriend of Adolphus I’ve told you about.”

Carla’s eyes lit up as she looked at Laurinda. Honestly, she was amazed. Anyone who could win over Adolphus had to be something special. And she found Laurinda way more likable than that Adah woman. Carla was always quick to warm up to people, so she didn’t hesitate. “Hi, Laurinda. Nice to meet you.”

Laurinda grinned. Before she could answer, Carla continued, “By the way, before he left, Adolphus asked me to remind you to eat properly. It’s about lunchtime anyway, and I already made a reservation. Why don’t we go eat and catch up while we’re there?”

Carla’s upbringing showed in every word. She had that natural poise you only see in people from big families.

Abigail chimed in, “Carla’s right. Why don’t we head out for lunch?”
