090 Ava's Secret Scarlett's POV
Turns out, Adrian never noticeduntil that racing night, and it was because of that night that he went back to
dig into me, only to find that | was the little wolf that he liked from years ago. But before he could do anything
more, | married Sebastian and he decided to seal his first love that never bloomed.
"Seriously,
,awful detective work," | laugh at him, eating snacks he broughtto the hospital bed.
Adrian rolls his eyes with a sigh, his ears turning pink again: "You promised to take that to your grave for the
sake of all the snacks you orderedto get!"
"No! The snacks are forkeeping your proposal as a secret from Aurora!" | throw myself over the snacks when
he starts pulling them away, "I have got pictures of the flowers! You keep bullying me, | will not be afraid to use
them!"
""You said you deleted them!" He protests.
"But it was super romantic!" | hug the snacks and won't let go, "What if | need to show Aurora how romantic you
are, huh?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe stare at each other in a deadlock, then | burst into laughter. He pretends to be angry but laughs within
the end.
Before when | barely knew him, tspent with him was curious, weird, shocking, and awkward; then he saved
me, and | saw him with the glow of an angel.
But nothing like the comfort once the secret is out.
Turns out he had a lot of interactions with Aurora, therefore my life - though most of which were bad interactions.
Still, now I look at him, it's like meeting a long-tfriend for the first time.
A curious experience.
"So that was why you stopped talking to Sebastian?? Because you thought he married your little racer?" | pull
open a bag of chips, exuberant to hear more about it. "You should have cto 'fight for me, so you wouldn't
have missed five years from your true love." "Well, that wasn't all..." Rarely, he shootsa guilty peek,
frowning lightly.
"What?" | urge.
"....well, I actually did try to sabotage your wedding," Adrian rubs the back of his head, dodging my eyes.
Before | thought he was this ruthless elite who "kills and conquers in the business world, but now when |
the Adrian in life, | find that he is like a huge golden retriever who looks fierce but actually cute.

"I knew Sebastian was Into Ava Fuller because he saved her from the woods," He admits with a guilty look,
"Actually, a lot in our circles knows about it. He never really tried to hide it."
But | was never part of "his circle".
"So when | found out that you were marrying him, I...ugh... Adrian clears his throat to hide his nervousness, "I
went to Ava. To see if | could get them together instead."

"Oh, my, God!" | want to laugh, "I guess you didn't know that he already tried that first."
"Ohh, | knew that, and | knew the Iron Lady wouldn't want Ava to be a part of her family," Adrian grins evilly, "I
was hoping Ava could do her charm and get Sebastian to marry her anyway. | mean, she did charm him to drop
his beloved fencing." "Which you are jealous of and wouldn't show up in public with Sebastian for," | nod,
taunting him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's enough chips for you in a day!" Adrian attacks my ONE weakness, "Doctor's order!"
| stare at my empty hands, impressed at his speed. Sports is not my thing, but strategy is: "I'll tell Auroral that
you tried to sabotage my marriage!"
The chip bag is back in my hands.
"Okay, you can have that one bag." Adrian clears his throat as if that wasn't a surrender, "seriously though, the
doctor said you need to pay more attention to nutrition and stuff. Your test results are showing symptoms of
anemia."
Because of a bloodsucker that I'm trying to cut out of my life. | dart my eyes away, not answering to that. "I'm
sorry..." Adrian's voice drops low and gentle, a hidden anger in there, "I didn't know what they were doing to
you...I would have helped you if | didn't leave..."
"It's okay. It's not your fault nor responsibility," | shrug it off. The last thing | want is to be seen as a victim by
everyone, "So you went to Ava, what happened then?"
"She said no, of course," Adrian says, complying with my obvious attempt to divert the topic, "What struck, me
weird was that, | sort of felt like she was coming on to me."
