From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 358

“Is your sister going to make a fuss with you?”

“She’s got enough trouble of her own, so I doubt it. Candida will apologize to you publicly tomorrow. I told you, I won’t let anyone treat you unfairly.”

Adolphus tucked a loose strand of Laurinda’s hair behind her ear. Just the thought of her being wronged in Cabinda felt like a failure on his part.

As soon as Laurinda got home, she hurried into her room and started looking for anything that could read a memory card. After searching everywhere and finding nothing, she just put the card away for now. She’d have to pick up a card reader tomorrow.

She was about to go look for Adolphus, when her phone rang. It was Shirley. Apparently, Shirley had seen Laurinda’s latest post and noticed she was in Cabinda. She sounded super excited and invited Laurinda to go shopping with her the next day.

Laurinda turned her down gently, explaining she had to take Adolphus to the airport.

Shirley sounded a little let down but didn’t push. She just said they could go out together another time, whenever Laurinda was free. That time, Laurinda agreed.

Laurinda stepped out of her room and glanced around. No sign of Adolphus in the living room. Just then, Foley came in, carrying all the stuff she’d bought earlier. Laurinda asked, “Where’s Adolphus?”

“Probably in the closet, packing his things.”

“He’s really in a hurry, huh?”

“Yeah, he’s got a flight tomorrow morning.” Foley set the shopping bags on the coffee table and smiled at her. “Laurinda, if you don’t need anything else, I’ll head out.”

“Okay, thanks.”

After walking Foley to the door, Laurinda came back and found the matching rings she’d bought. She took a deep breath and went to the walk-in closet to find Adolphus.

He looked up as soon as he heard the door, spotting Laurinda walking in with a mysterious look on her face. He raised his eyebrows. “What’s going on?”

Laurinda stopped in front of him, opened her hand, and showed him the ring. “Look. Do you like it?”
