From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 357

Laurinda gave Adolphus a sideways look. “Why are you acting so weird?”

“Weird? I think you’re the one who’s upset.”

Adolphus held onto Laurinda’s arm a little tighter. He remembered what he’d arranged with the president of Cabinda University and lowered his voice. “I got that special admission spot at Cabinda University for you. Are you going back to school next semester?”

Laurinda thought about her plans and shook her head. “I still need to return to Apex. I won’t be going back to school for now. There are other things I have to take care of.”

“When are you heading back to Apex, then?”

“No rush. I want to stop by your place tomorrow. I’m already in Cabinda, so I should at least visit your family.”

She made a mental note of her schedule. Tomorrow she’d go to the Lane family’s house, then spend the next few days at the research institute. It would probably be a while before she could leave Cabinda.

“Tomorrow? My family won’t be home. They’re meeting some old friends for a get-together. If you go over, you won’t see them. Why not wait until they’re back?”

Adolphus hesitated for a second, then leaned closer to Laurinda. “How about I take you to Frostford for a little trip?”

Laurinda caught on to what he was doing. She put her phone down, turned in his arms, and cupped his face in her hands, squinting at him. “You’re always trying to take me to Frostford. Tell me, who’s really there?”

Adolphus just smiled, not backing down from her gaze. “I just want you to have some fun. The weather’s perfect in Frostford right now. It’s the best time for a vacation.”

Laurinda let go of his face and turned away, leaning against him. She shook her head. “Not now. I have other things to deal with. If your parents aren’t home, I’ll just go to the research institute tomorrow. If you have things to do, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine in Cabinda, promise.”
