From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 136

“Go upstairs, wash up, and change into something comfy. I’ll ask Elin to make you a bowl of noodles.”

“Okay, wait for me. I’ll be quick.”

Adolphus leaned down and kissed the corner of Laurinda’s lips, then straightened up and headed upstairs.

When he reached his room, he realized his things were missing from the guest room.

“Laurinda, where’s my stuff?”

“I moved it next to my room.”

Laurinda had expected him to be confused and couldn’t help but smile.

After coming home, she’d suddenly felt like doing something nice for him. So she moved all his things up to the third floor and even had some new loungewear delivered.

She wasn’t sure why, but she just wanted to treat Adolphus a little better.

When Adolphus realized he’d been moved right into Laurinda’s personal space, he felt a thrill of happiness. Did this mean she was starting to accept him? Maybe the day she’d officially let him in wasn’t so far away.

After his shower, Adolphus came downstairs wearing the comfortable clothes Laurinda had picked out for him. He kept touching the fabric, quietly soaking in this little bit of happiness.

Laurinda was already in the kitchen. She had a small bowl of noodles in front of her and across the table was a larger bowl, along with a few light side dishes.

“Hurry up, or the noodles will get mushy.”

Laurinda waved him over, urging him to eat before the food got cold.

Adolphus sat down across from her and took the chopsticks she handed him.

“Try it. Elin makes the best noodles. When I was a kid and got sick, she’d always make me this.”

Laurinda slurped up a mouthful, looking completely satisfied. She could never get tired of these noodles, no matter how many times she had them. Even on a full stomach, she could manage another bowl.

After eating, Adolphus pulled Laurinda into his arms as they curled up together on the couch.

“Are you really not coming back to Cabinda with me?”

“No, I’m not. I don’t celebrate Christmas. Honestly, it feels like any other day to me.”
