Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2140

Andrew disliked owing others favors and even more so disliked using his power to bully the weak, so he would not accept gifts.

Lauren walked over and said, "Honey, there's one more thing! Earlier, members from the Onyx Serpents came here to visit you! But you and Aspen had just gone to Jayrodale, so you missed them."

Andrew raised a brow. "The Onyx Serpents came here?"

That had been unexpected, yet it was not exactly surprising when he thought about it.

The Onyx Serpents now lived under his protection, and Rowan was a simple person who did not think in complicated ways. However, Agatha was no pushover, and Andrew had dealt with her before. Chances were, Agatha had seen him rise in Gabo Creek and decided to make nice.

Since it was still early, Andrew prepared a few things and headed over to visit the Onyx Serpents. Since he had invited them to Gabo Creek province, he could not just ignore them forever. Besides, Andrew still had quite a good impression of Rowan.

At the Onyx Serpents' place, Agatha was constantly complaining and grumbling. Not seeing Andrew during the day had left her very displeased.

Meanwhile, Rowan rested her cheek in her palm and stared out the window in a daze. Andrew had not come to see her even once, and she could not help but wonder if he had forgotten about her.

Then again, how could he be so cruel and forget about her?

A young lady in the flush of a crush was always overthinking.

Just then, a subordinate came to report, "Madam Delaney, Ms. Maddock… Mr. Lloyd is here!"

Agatha jolted, then sprang up from the couch in delight. "Please, bring him in at once!"

Rowan jolted as if shocked by a spark, her back instantly straightened. She glanced left and right, grabbed the hand mirror on the table, and hurried to check her makeup and complexion. Fortunately, she was a natural beauty who did not need much preparation to look breathtakingly gorgeous.
