She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

163 The Other Fuller’s Daughter

Damian’s POV

“Surprised to see you without your little pet.”

I’m about to be bored to death at Oliver’s party. Well, sort of a “party“. It’s just a club where a lot of actors hang out, and he just invited a few more, and tagged it a “truth and dare” themed night. I enjoy drink with him occasionally, but a quiet drink, not this type.

“I wouldn’t be if I’m not stuck here, so, thanks for that, I roll my eyes at him, resting my arms and neck on the back of the sofa as I try to ease the sourness in them. Oliver calls Lilith my litt! been working extra hours recently something I don’t normally do — just to spend

ecause I have

wuth Lilith.

I never liked the mentor–apprentice rule in law firms, but when she came to join, I couldn’t help but chase off all the other partners who had eyes on her.

I never thought I would want one myself.

But how could I not? She’s perfect. Lilith is a great work companion, a kind person and a cute girl. She works herself to the most, but she would pour me coffee and tell me to get good rest. The only problem Is, that she treat the “mentor–apprentice” thing so seriously that she wouldn’t allow me to get any closer than that

It’s supposed to be a learned lawyer lending his experience to a newbie, but now she makes me feel like I’m a teacher looking for a taste of his minor student.

It has never been hard for me to get close to women. I know why, and so do they. They want what I have more than they want me, most of the time. And I’m willing to give those in exchange for what I want and need. It’s like an unspoken contract, and we all got what we asked for out of it.

But Lilith is not like that, and that’s why it’s hard to make a move. She appears to enjoy our time together, but she doesn’t allow it further. Yet when I even try to put a little distance between us, she gives me a sad look as if I abandoned her, until I get close again.

Maybe she’s not sure about me yet, but I have patience. I enjoy our time together as it is.

“You will thank me more when my surprises arrive,” Oliver grins at me, waving his phone, “The files I sent you, have you seen them?”

“Yes, I have. Ava Fuller’s blood type is RH- while Scarlett Fuller’s is AB. So, you think Ava Fuller is our little sister? How did you even get the Fuller sisters‘ medical records by the way???” I close my eyes again, leaving my arms draping freely. That’s no news. After all, she had Mom’s necklace on her neck, “Is she the surprise we are waiting for tonight?”

“YOUR sister,” Oliver laughs as he stresses that word, “Uncle Johnny raised me, and I’m grateful, but i know better than to change my name to Vanderbilt.”

I frown at him, and he gives me a harmless grin in return.

Oliver was an orphan. Our lives wouldn’t have crossed paths, if it weren’t for the friendly basketball match our middle schools pulled. He was his school team’s leader, and one of his team members played dirty and broke my leg. I was bleeding badly, but the little hospital in that area didn’t even have my type of

blood.

And The Other Tutera Daughter

Mom’s birthmark is too rare.

Oliver stepped up and told me he shared that rare mark, and he donated blood for me. When Dad made it there I was already in plaster. Dad has been helping Oliver since then, but when he offered to adopt Oliver, Oliver refused.

“He sees you as a son, you know that,” I grew up with Oliver, but he is determined to make it on his own. I felt like he abandoned us for a while, and I think that’s why I made the city he chose as his new nome my fourth choice.

say that. I know has the right

“And I see you guys as my family, too,” Oliver says solemnly, and I feel bad at making he cares, and I know I was feeling childish when he kept a distance between us. I i to be a Scott and stay a part of the family he lost, but still, I don’t understand why he has to keep us at a

distance.

1 mean, so long as I’m a Scott, then I get a chance at YOUR sister, right?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Tsk! I throw him a glare, wishing it was a real knife. Would it kill him to be serious for just one second???

“You are into Ava Fuller?”

“Nope,” Oliver curves his lips, “I’m into the other Fuller girl.”
