She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

092 A True Angel

Scarlett's POV

"Why? I can't revenge a FRIEND against a bunch of heartless bloodsuckers?" Adrian rolls his eyes like a capricious child, "The happiness of my love life is in your hand! I'm at your command, my master!"

I laugh at his Assassin's Creed tone, and he smiles with me. It's amazing to spend time with Adrian. He just has a bright energy to get laughs out of me, making me feel like no dark cloud in life matters, like light magic.

"Actually, I do want to-"

"Glad to see you up and alive so soon after the kidnapping," A knock on the door raises right before the owner of the voice opens my door.

My jaw is on the ground: "Granny?!"

Of all the people, I didn't expect to see HER here. How did she even know I was here? And most importantly, did the doctors tell her anything about the pregnancy?!

"I'll leave you two to some girls' talk then," Adrian grabs his suit before bowing at Granny jokingly with my test results hiding under that suit, heading to the door, "Ladies." Granny hmphs at his exaggerated act with a faux snort, keeping her cold look up until Adrian is out of the

door.
