From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 249

“Whatever happens in your love life, whether it’s sweet or messy, it’s got nothing to do with me. I even managed to tolerate it when Len insisted on a divorce and then married someone like Adah who’s always stirring up trouble. No need to make things hard for a young girl.”

“Let me see the location. Did the girl come here on her own? We should go look for her. There are so many little alleys here. It’d be easy for her to get lost.”

Adolphus pulled out his phone, opened his chat with Laurinda, and showed the location she sent to Tanya. Tanya glanced at it and nodded.

“It really does look like our place, but...”

A thought suddenly struck her. She reached out and tapped Adolphus on the arm.

“Do you remember when you were five and brought home a little stroller? There was a tiny baby in it, just a few months old.”

Adolphus had no idea what she was getting at.

Of course he remembered. That baby was like a little fairy. He’d snuck her home and tried to hide her, not wanting to give her back to her parents.

“What’s that got to do with this?”

“I think it does matter. This location is Cloudhaven Lane, right next door to us. Her house faces the other street. The baby you found was from that family. Looks like you two go way back, huh?”

“Call your little girlfriend and ask for the exact house number. The location matches up. It’s probably them.”

Suddenly, Laurinda’s bright, unforgettable eyes flashed in Adolphus’s mind. He’d always felt like he’d seen her somewhere before. He never thought she’d tried to get him to take her home all those years ago.

He called her. The phone barely rang before she answered, her voice warm and cheerful.

“Are you here?”

“I’m close, but I can’t find your door. Can you send me the house number?”

“Sure. And knock first when you arrive. We have a big dog. Don’t let him scare you.”

She hung up. A second later, the house number popped up in his messages.
