089 I’m Evil
Scarlett’s POV
“Even though I carry another’s baby in my womb?” I ask
“They will know me and only me as their father,” He answers.
“Even if I’m a workaholic who is sloppy at home and everything else?” I ask, remembering the messy living room I shared with Aurora.
Adrian lets out a light chuckle. It was light just to not ruin the moment, I think.
“I would appreciate the chance to take care of you, yes,” Somehow he keeps his tone solemn still, ” admire you, my shooting star.”
Okay, fine! I have no more tests and he passed all of them with a perfect score.
“Okay, last question,” I nod, “…Even if I’m best friends with Aurora?”
My question takes Adrian by surprise. He blinks in confusion, not seeing a clear question in there.
“I’m not sure what you mean…?” Adrain frowns lightly at the confusion, “1…I’m not against whoever you choose to keep in your life…Sebastian aside!”
This time it’s my turn to burst into laughter.
“But you two always fight at the sight of each other!” I pull him up from the ground, laughing. “What’s that all about?!”
–
“I was not it has always been a one–sided attack from her- Adrian blurts twice before a resigned look, sighing. “Okay, I promise I won’t have another fight with her. I’ll take whatever she has to say about me, is that okay?”
“I don’t know,” I can’t help but laugh, “That one you will need to ask her.”
Adrian’s handsome face squeezes together at that painful thought: “Okay, I will…but does it mean a yes? You will—will you…? Are you saying…yes?”
“1 will say yes when you ask for my help later,” I sigh, holding back my laugh as much as I can, preparing him for the shocking bomb, “Adrian, you might need to sit down for this one. Do you remember that racing night, there was another girl, on…uhh, the shotgun?”
Adrian won’t sit. He grabs my arm so nervously that I could feel the heat and sweat of his palm: “Yes, I
do.”
“Yeah, that was me,” I nod with a swift tone. Then I go and sit down myself, waiting for him to process the huge ball of information behind it.
Adrian waited quietly for a second before he realized that was all I had to say. He blinks in confusion, then the confusion explodes into shock and then he stops breathing.
Luckily, we are in a hospital.”
“I feel really really sorry, but I honestly had NO idea about any of this…” The guilt is eating me up. Loving someone for years only to find out that it was a mistake is hard to take, for anyone, “I really wish you had

“But honestly? I don’t know if I would help you to pursue my best friend and one of the most amazing people in the world before I found out that you are so reliable, so…blessing in misfortune, right?”
I keep talking but he just stares at me with his mouth open in an O shape.
“Adrian…?” I ask cautiously, starting to feel bad, “Are you alright? You are scaring me a bit now. I know it’s a lot to take in but it’s not like anything happened…well, anything except a super romantic proposal at the most romantic reason possible–”
My joke in the end finally activated Adrian: “That racer was Aurora?!”
“Yep.” I nod, she’s one of the best racers I have ever seen. “I get carsick as easily as she can drift.”
Adrian swallows unconsciously, processing for another long moment: “The little wolf-”
