She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 88

088 The Limping Wolf 

Scarlett’s POV 

What did I ever do to deserve this? I know it’s wrong to accept it, but it doesn’t make any of the joy of this 

moment untrue. 

“As much as I believe you,” I try to choose my words more wisely than last time, “We only met a week ago, Mr. Dunn, I don’t think- 

1 understand your concern, and that’s why I wanted to take it slowly,” Adrian cuts me off with a kiss on the tips of my fingers, “but I don’t want to do that anymore. You let me in on the pregnancy to warn me off, no? You don’t have to. I will love your child as my own, and I will take better care of you than anyone ever will.” 

No woman can resist such a confession from the hero who just pulled them up from a fall to their death. 

I’m merely a human! 

I trust his words. I’m just surprised because I never painted him as the “love–for–life” type. According to Aurora, he is nothing but a playboy, a womanizer that she wants to tear apart at sight. 

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Adrian starts slowly. “I have been in love with you since that night of our race. Do you remember that night? You were like a shooting star when you passed me on that mountain road, bright and dazzling. I held that first prize for years on that road, and the first time you came, you broke my record. You didn’t just leave your name on the top of that mountain, you left it branded on my heart.” 

Oh, My, God! Adrian’s secret crush is Aurora?! The one girl who hates him??! And he took me for her???! 

Okay, now this is REALLY awkward. 

“Yeah…” I purse my lips, feeling awkward, but more importantly: “How did you know was.me? I didn’t even take off my helmet.” 

Aurora said she was taking me for “fun” that day, I think to cheer me up from something 

Sebastian did, and her idea was to put our heads on the table for a mountain road race. I was shaking in the shotgun for the whole time. We got the first prize, and to our surprise, the “prize” was a cup of beer! Aurora wouldn’t take off her helmet because she dared not to let the wind of her racing get to her easily worried mom, not 

to mention – neither of us was to age. 

“Do you remember the beer you throw away?” Adrian chuckles, his eyes shining at that memory, “That’s the special honor for the first prize. It has always been mine, and when you pour it to the ground, the guys laughed at you thinking you dared not to drink.” 

“yeah? We dared not. It was true. 

“And you threw the coaster in my face,” Adrian tilts his head with a bright smile, “I guess I deserved it. I did laugh with them.” 

Ohh…! So that’s the story behind the old coaster in his office…. 

I seriously don’t remember any of this. I think I was trying my best not to not throw up in my helmet at that 

moment.

“I mean…just because of a one–time attack, and you set your heart for life…? A bit hasty, don’t you think?” I ask hesitantly.
