From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 376

“Still half asleep?”

Laurinda shook her head. “Just a little out of it.”

“There’s a fireworks show tonight. Want to go out for a walk? You haven’t had a real break in ages. The timing’s perfect, and we can grab dinner before it starts.”

Laurinda leaned into Adolphus, caught his wrist, and glanced at the time. Seeing they had a while, she nodded. “Alright. Give me a sec, I need to use the bathroom.”

“I’ll carry you.”

Before Laurinda could protest, Adolphus scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom. She blushed, gave his shoulder a light smack, and said with a little pout, “You’re ridiculous. Go wait outside.”

When they were ready, they left the house and walked hand in hand down the busy street, blending into the city’s energy.

Laurinda took in the lights and the crowds, her eyes full of curiosity. Adolphus noticed. “What do you think? Do you like it here?”

Laurinda shook her head without hesitation. “Not exactly. I wouldn’t say I like it, but it does feel kind of new for me. First time wandering these streets, I guess it’s just the novelty. Come on, let’s check out the mall.”

The huge shopping center immediately caught her eye. She squeezed Adolphus’s hand and led him in, both of them surrounded by walls of luxury brands.

“This really is the fashion capital. I’ve never seen so many designer stores packed together like this. It’s almost like they’re giving stuff away.”

“See anything you like? We can go in and check it out.”

“Sure.”

Laurinda pulled him into Chrome Hearts. She always had a soft spot for their clothes and accessories.
