From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 464

“We’re not heading back just yet. We’re going to my place. I told the butler to bring over the cooks and some of the staff from the estate. You can rest up there. If you need anything, let Arrow know and she’ll handle it. We can have her grab your things later.”

Adolphus frowned a little when he heard Laurinda’s plan. He couldn’t explain it, but he suddenly felt like one of those guys who just leans on his girlfriend.

“Wait, even if we’re going back, why can’t we go to my place? My house is…”

Laurinda glanced over at him, kind of amused that he had so much to say about this. She liked to think she was pretty open-minded, so she decided to give him a choice.

“You want to stay at your place?”

He met her eyes. For a second, Adolphus had a bad feeling, but still, he nodded bravely.

“If possible, it might be nice to stay at my place, right?”

“Sure, why not? Your parents don’t even know you were hurt. You could go home, let them know you’re okay. York, let’s take Adolphus back to the Lane—”

That’s when Adolphus realized, oh crap, he did not want his parents to know anything about his injury. He cut her off right away.

“No, no, wait, I take it back! I was totally wrong. I shouldn’t be so picky. It’s stupid to care about being a freeloader. I’m sorry. Let’s not go back to my parents’ place.”

He hugged Laurinda quickly, hoping she’d forgive him. Honestly, he had completely forgotten his parents didn’t know about any of this. Major oversight.

Laurinda ignored him, so Adolphus decided to go for the pitiful routine. “Laurinda, my head’s been hurt, I get confused sometimes. Please don’t be mad. I didn’t mean it, I promise.”
