From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 189

“You really know how to keep things interesting. You’ve barely recovered, and I could maybe forgive you for the fight at Apex, but what were you doing in Northland? If Interpol hadn’t gotten in touch, I wouldn’t even know you’d run off again. Seriously, Laurinda, do you have a death wish or something?”

Laurinda blinked at Kinsey’s exasperated face and tried to look innocent. He wasn’t having it.

“Listen, I get that you want to catch those people, but your main priority right now is getting healthy. Do what people your age are supposed to do and let us handle the rest. I promise, if we hear anything, you’ll be the first to know.”

Laurinda nodded, all sweet and obedient. She reached out and patted his arm gently.

“I hear you, Kinsey. See? I’m back safe and sound. I swear, I won’t sneak off again. But look at you, getting all worked up. If you make yourself sick worrying about me, what am I supposed to tell your wife?”

She gave him a cheeky grin, and Kinsey just couldn’t stay mad at her. She always had that mischievous spark in her eyes. But when he remembered she’d shown up with Adolphus, his brow furrowed again.

“I haven’t been around Apex lately. How did you end up hanging out with those people? They’re all from Cabinda, and none of them are simple.”

Laurinda understood what he was really saying. He wanted her to be careful.

“The guy who came with me is the school doctor. He’s actually really good, been helping me get back on my feet. Need a checkup, Kinsey? I can set you up with an appointment.”

Kinsey gave her a look. “Cut it out. Just… be careful with them, alright? They’re not exactly ordinary people.”

“I know. But I don’t think any of them would hurt me. I mean, I’m just too adorable, right?”
