From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 243

Laurinda pulled her hand back and cradled her gorgeous face, putting on that classic look of fake embarrassment, like she’d just been totally caught out.

Jasper just sighed and gave her a look. What could he do? She was beautiful, after all. He’d let her off the hook.

Adolphus sat off to the side, watching the siblings with a soft, affectionate smile. They looked so much alike, and the sight clearly warmed his heart.

After breakfast, Garry showed up. He grabbed Jasper’s suitcase and started leading him outside, talking to him about everything he needed to know before joining the Flame Training Base.

Laurinda, already dressed, sent a quick text to her ride, then headed downstairs with Adolphus.

She glanced at Jasper in the car and felt a little pang of anticipation. The next time she saw him, he’d be changed, maybe even transformed. She couldn’t wait to see how he’d grow.

“Take care of him, okay?”

Adolphus smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite. I’ll probably be back this afternoon. Make sure to eat a good lunch, alright?”

Laurinda nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I can handle myself.”

She reached up to fix his collar, then opened the car door for him.

Adolphus couldn’t help himself. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of her lips.

“I’m heading out now.”

“Bye.”

The moment Adolphus got in the car, he was met with Jasper’s grumpy glare. Adolphus raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Got something to say?”

“Laurinda’s still young. You can’t just take advantage of her like that!”
