Damian's POV

"What's going on?" Oliver frowns in the direction of the bar.

He has been staring in that direction ever since Scarlett Fuller left. He said he was into her, but I thought he was joking. I mean, they barely knew each other. Even if he is interested in her, it can only be so shallow.

"Nothing is going on, it's a bar and she is an adult," I tease him, "If you really are worried about her, maybe you should help me figuring out why she's afriad of me."

I wouldn't want such a random problem getting in the way of me getting to know her. I mean, she's likely a Vanderbilt.

"Maybe because you have been cold to her," Oliver glares at me, "I mean, what's that about? I would have doubted if you loved Alice if I didn't know better." Am I cold to her?

I mean, except for the first time when I thought she bullied my Alice. I guess I haven't been exactly friendly to her, but it's because I didn't want to rush into anything. "You never accused me of being cold to Ava. Why?" I ask Oliver curiously, "I treats them in the same way."

"Ava is too smart to leave a conversation cold with any man who she deems valuable," Oliver snorts condesendingly at me, "I can't believe you are blind to that."

I frown, trying to think.

I try to not expose my suspicious on their identity before I can be sure of anything, but Ava Fuller has been more than friendly to me, when Scarlett Fuller treats me as a stranger, if not less. She wants to put distance between us, for some reason. "How did you know?!" I realize the shocking part. Oliver hasn't been visiting Ava
