She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

090 Ava’s Secret

Scarlett’s POV This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Turns out, Adrian never noticed me until that racing night, and it was because of that night that he went back to dig into me, only to find that I was the little wolf that he liked from years ago. But before he could do anything more, I married Sebastian and he decided to seal his first love that never bloomed.

“Seriously,

, awful detective work,” I laugh at him, eating snacks he brought me to the hospital bed.

Adrian rolls his eyes with a sigh, his ears turning pink again: “You promised to take that to your grave for the sake of all the snacks you ordered me to get!”

“No! The snacks are for me keeping your proposal as a secret from Aurora!” I throw myself over the snacks when he starts pulling them away, “I have got pictures of the flowers! You keep bullying me, I will not be afraid to use them!”

“You said you deleted them!” He protests.

“But it was super romantic!” I hug the snacks and won’t let go, “What if I need to show Aurora how romantic you are, huh?!”

We stare at each other in a deadlock, then I burst into laughter. He pretends to be angry but laughs with me in the end.

Before when I barely knew him, time spent with him was curious, weird, shocking, and awkward; then he saved me, and I saw him with the glow of an angel.

But nothing like the comfort once the secret is out.

Turns out he had a lot of interactions with Aurora, therefore my life – though most of which were bad interactions. Still, now I look at him, it’s like meeting a long–time friend for the first time.

A curious experience.

“So that was why you stopped talking to Sebastian?? Because you thought he married your little racer?” I pull open a bag of chips, exuberant to hear more about it. “You should have come to ‘fight for me, so you wouldn’t have missed five years from your true love.”

“Well, that wasn’t all…” Rarely, he shoots me a guilty peek, frowning lightly.

“What?” I urge.

“….well, I actually did try to sabotage your wedding,” Adrian rubs the back of his head, dodging my eyes.

Before I thought he was this ruthless elite who “kills and conquers in the business world, but now when I

the Adrian in life, I find that he is like a huge golden retriever who looks fierce but actually cute.

“I knew Sebastian was Into Ava Fuller because he saved her from the woods,” He admits with a guilty look, “Actually, a lot in our circles knows about it. He never really tried to hide it.”

But I was never part of “his circle“.

“So when I found out that you were marrying him, I…ugh… Adrian clears his throat to hide his nervousness, “I went to Ava. To see if I could get them together instead.”

“Oh, my, God!” I want to laugh, “I guess you didn’t know that he already tried that first.”

“Ohh, I knew that, and I knew the Iron Lady wouldn’t want Ava to be a part of her family,” Adrian grins evilly, “I was hoping Ava could do her charm and get Sebastian to marry her anyway. I mean, she did charm him to drop his beloved fencing.”

“Which you are jealous of and wouldn’t show up in public with Sebastian for,” I nod, taunting him.

“That’s enough chips for you in a day!” Adrian attacks my ONE weakness, “Doctor’s order!”

I stare at my empty hands, impressed at his speed. Sports is not my thing, but strategy is: “I’ll tell Auroral that you tried to sabotage my marriage!”

The chip bag is back in my hands.

“Okay, you can have that one bag.” Adrian clears his throat as if that wasn’t a surrender, “seriously though, the doctor said you need to pay more attention to nutrition and stuff. Your test results are showing symptoms of anemia.”

Because of a bloodsucker that I’m trying to cut out of my life. I dart my eyes away, not answering to that. “I’m sorry…” Adrian’s voice drops low and gentle, a hidden anger in there, “I didn’t know what they were doing to you…I would have helped you if I didn’t leave…”

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault nor responsibility,” I shrug it off. The last thing I want is to be seen as a victim by everyone, “So you went to Ava, what happened then?”

“She said no, of course,” Adrian says, complying with my obvious attempt to divert the topic, “What struck, me weird was that, I sort of felt like she was coming on to me.”
