Scarlett's POV

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

moment untrue.

"As much as | believe you," | try to choose my words more wisely than last time, "We only met a week ago, Mr.

Dunn, | don't think-

1 understand your concern, and that's why | wanted to take it slowly," Adrian cutsoff with a kiss on the tips

of my fingers, "but | don't want to do that anymore. You letin on the pregnancy to warnoff, no? You don't

have to. | will love your child as my own, and | 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!

| trust his words. I'm just surprised because | 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

Okay, now this is REALLY awkward.

"Yeah..." | purse my lips, feeling awkward, but more importantly: "How did you know was.me? | didn't even take

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

"And you threw the coaster in my face," Adrian tilts his head with a bright smile, "I guess | deserved it. | did

laugh with them."

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

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

moment.

"I mean...just because of a one-tattack, and you set your heart for life...? A bit hasty, don't you think?" | ask

hesitantly.
