From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 240

“Fine, let him go back. We can always visit him in Cabinda if we miss him. Are you planning to have someone keep an eye on him?”

Even though Larson was willing to let Jasper go, in his eyes Jasper was still just a kid who needed someone to look out for him.

“I’ll take care of it,” Adolphus promised. He walked over and sat beside Laurinda, then turned to Larson with genuine respect. “Don’t worry, Larson. Once Jasper is in Cabinda, I’ll make sure he’s looked after. No one will dare mess with him. With The Lane Family behind him, anyone causing trouble will have to think twice.”

For the first time, Larson actually found Adolphus agreeable. He nodded his approval.

“I’ll leave him to you, then. He’s young and at that mischievous age, so be patient with him.”

“Of course. Jasper’s a great kid. I really care about him.”

Larson couldn’t help but snort. “Yeah, with your hidden agenda.”

The whole room burst out laughing. Adolphus just smiled, completely unbothered. “It’s normal for a guy to like a beautiful girl, isn’t it?”

“You’re shameless. Listen, Laurinda’s still young, so watch yourself. If you ever make her cry, I’ll go straight to your dad and have him deal with you, whip and all.”

Larson had more or less accepted Laurinda and Adolphus, but he still had to give a warning. After all, no one knows a man better than another man.

“Don’t worry, sir. I’d never let Laurinda get hurt.”

In all his twenty-three years, Laurinda was the only one he’d ever cared about like this. There was no way he’d let anything happen to her.

After dinner at the Adams house, Laurinda and Adolphus left with Jasper. On the way, Laurinda explained everything to her little brother.
