From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 131

Adolphus’s last surprise visit had already caught Larson off guard, but seeing him walk in now with Laurinda at his side, the two of them looking so close, made Larson’s heart skip a beat. Was this guy really making a move on his precious granddaughter?

“We went to watch Jasper’s match together, and Lea invited us to come back for dinner,” Adolphus replied, his tone as polite and warm as ever.

Larson nodded, but his eyes lingered on Laurinda’s hand, which was still wrapped around Adolphus’s arm. He couldn’t help but comment, “It’s been a while. I didn’t realize you two had become so close.”

Laurinda caught the look on Larson’s face and just grinned at him. Instead of letting go, she hugged Adolphus’s arm even tighter. “Yeah, we’re getting along pretty well. Larson, I’m starving. Can we eat yet?”

“Of course you can eat. Hurry up and come inside. Lea and Jasper have been home for a while and are already waiting at the table. Adolphus, Irvin, you too, come on,” Beatrice called out as she stepped out from the dining room, waving everyone in.

After the three of them had gone inside, she gave Larson a firm pat and whispered, “Laurinda knows what she wants. Adolphus is a good man, and they’re a great match. Don’t go messing things up.”

Larson lowered his voice, “I’m just worried… about the Lane family...”

“What’s there to worry about? Laurinda and Adolphus are perfect for each other. Eda and Darby are reasonable people. They don’t care that much about family background. Honestly, they’d be happy to have someone who can keep Adolphus in check. Why wouldn’t they like Laurinda? Just look at him. You can tell he’s completely smitten. Stop worrying. If Adolphus ever hurts Laurinda, then you can step in and back her up.”

Larson looked at Beatrice, who was all smiles, and let out a helpless sigh. It felt like he was losing more and more say in this house. He couldn’t even stick his nose in anymore.
