She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 152

Scarlett’s POV

After that one bombing sentence, Adrian did not continue but started leading the way to his car.

He has been shooting me observing looks all the way even after he started driving. I sneakily take longer breaths, waiting patiently for him to conduct his “mental status evaluation” on me. I don’t want him to worry about me, and I can handle this. I need him to know.

“Lucas told me everything,” Adrian finally says, eying me in the rare mirror, “How have you been holding up? I’m actually impressed that you pulled yourself together after only three days.”

I frown leeringly: “Please don’t tell me that the boss of the Dunn empire has been squatting downstairs of my hotel for the past three days...”

Adrian lets out a laugh, the worry in his eyes faints a little.

“I have eyes on your personal driver, that’s all,” Adrian gives me a harmless smile, “By the way, I’m not the only one doing that, apparently.”

“Who else?!” I frown. I understand that Adrian is doing this out of concern for my safety, but I don’t want attention like this from anyone else.

“You will know soon, and I’ll leave that one to you,” Adrian grumbles, looking bothered, “I’m behind any decision you make, of course.”

“You know who it is--?”

“That’s not the most urging matter,” Adrian averts the topic in the most awkward way, “aren’t you curious about your new family?”

I grin at him -- he was the one throwing me a hook, and now he is the one getting impatient first!

“Yeah, sure, let’s hear about it. You found something, didn’t you?” I shoot him a glowing smirk. Lucas kept him posted about everything. And with Adrian’s resources, he could find a lot more about them than what I can in three days locked in a hotel room.

And I know he wouldn’t be here himself if it’s a small thing. I have embraced myself.

My reaction takes Adrian by surprise. He frowns, looking hesitant now. “You have met Damian Vanderbilt,” He takes a deep breath, trying to ease his way in, “What do you think of him?”
