Chapter 163 The Other Fuller’s Daughter
She Approved the Split He Fell Apart
Damianâs POV âSurprised to see you without your little pet.â
Iâm about to be bored to death at Oliverâs party. Well, sort of a âpartyâ. Itâs just a club where a lot of actors hang out, and he just invited a few more, and tagged it a âtruth and dareâ themed night. I enjoy drink with him occasionally, but a quiet drink, not this type.
âI wouldnât be if Iâm 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 donât normally do â
just to spend ecause I have wuth Lilith.
I never liked the mentorâapprentice rule in law firms, but when she came to join, I couldnât 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? Sheâs 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 âmentorâapprenticeâ thing so seriously that she wouldnât allow me to get any closer than that Itâs supposed to be a learned lawyer lending his experience to a newbie, but now she makes me feel like Iâm 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 Iâm willing to give those in exchange for what I want and need. Itâs like an unspoken contract, and we all got what we asked for out of it.
But Lilith is not like that, and thatâs why itâs hard to make a move. She appears to enjoy our time together, but she doesnât 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 sheâs not sure about me yet, but I have patience. I enjoy our time together as it is.
âYou will thank me more when my surprises arrive,â Oliver grins at me, waving his phone, âThe files I sent you, have you seen them?â
âYes, I have. Ava Fullerâs blood type is RH- while Scarlett Fullerâs is AB. So, you think Ava Fuller is our little sister? How did you even get the Fuller sistersâ medical records by the way???â I close my eyes again, leaving my arms draping freely. Thatâs no news. After all, she had Momâs necklace on her neck, âIs she the surprise we are waiting for tonight?â
âYOUR sister,â Oliver laughs as he stresses that word, âUncle Johnny raised me, and Iâm grateful, but i know better than to change my name to Vanderbilt.â
I frown at him, and he gives me a harmless grin in return.
Oliver was an orphan. Our lives wouldnât have crossed paths, if it werenât for the friendly basketball match our middle schools pulled. He was his school teamâs leader, and one of his team members played dirty and broke my leg. I was bleeding badly, but the little hospital in that area didnât even have my type of blood.
And The Other Tutera Daughter Momâs 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.
âHe sees you as a son, you know that,â 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 thatâs why I made the city he chose as his new nome my fourth choice.
say that. I know has the right âAnd I see you guys as my family, too,â 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 donât understand why he has to keep us at a distance.
1 mean, so long as Iâm a Scott, then I get a chance at YOUR sister, right?â
Tsk! I throw him a glare, wishing it was a real knife. Would it kill him to be serious for just one second???
âYou are into Ava Fuller?â
âNope,â Oliver curves his lips, âIâm into the other Fuller girl.â
