The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 145

The next morning, Samantha woke up early for New Paraiso’s opening ceremony.

Samantha spent a little over an hour getting ready, donning a formal business suit with high heels. She looked alluring, mature, and charming.

She also applied eyeshadow on her eyelids and lipstick on her lips, which was rare.

Samantha looked extremely enticing and breathlessly beautiful.

“Are you done getting ready, Adrian? Let’s eat on the way over. It will be a busy day at the company, and we should leave soon,” Samantha smiled and said to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his room.

Adrian glanced at Samantha and was enthralled by her.

Her long legs were glistening with a seductive glossy sheen under her skirt and Adrian could not refrain himself from taking a few extra glances.

“Do I look good?” Samantha asked.

She spread her arms and spun around in front of Adrian on purpose.

He smiled and said, “My wife is beautiful. She’s exquisite.”

Samantha sniggered and said to Rue who just got out of her room, “Mother, it’s the company’s opening ceremony today. Come and enjoy the event. You must be bored from staying at home all day.”

Rue accepted the invitation in delight.

However, Adrian said, “Sam, I won’t be coming with you to the opening. I have some matters to attend to and will be heading out in a bit.”

“What?”

Samantha was instantly stunned upon hearing Adrian’s remark. She said anxiously, “How can I go without you?”

Samantha had grown dependent on Adrian as of late.

Adrian said, “You’re the chairperson and president of New Paraiso now. You’re the main focus of the opening ceremony. Keep an open mind and do what you should do. I won’t be keeping you company.”

“But I…” Samantha wanted to say something.

She then asked, “Where are you going then? Will you tell me? I’m your wife, so I have the right to know where you’re going.”

Adrian smiled. “You’ll find out soon enough. All the best, Sam. Relax and be brave. Remember that your have my support in everything no matter what happens.

Adrian walked out upon saying that.

Samantha was stunned.

You have my support in everything!

It was the same remark as before, yet this time, she felt a tug of emotions in the depths of her heart. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Tears welled up in Samantha’s eyes as she gazed at Adrian’s departing silhouette.

Rue said, “That scoundrel. It’s not very nice of him to not keep you company on such an important

occasion. I’ll give him an earful later.

“All right, all right. Don’t cry, Sam.”

Rue wiped away Samantha’s tears.

Samantha said, “He’s not like his past self. I have this constant feeling that there are many things about him that we don’t know. Don’t you feel that Adrian is a different person compared to who he was seven years ago, Mother?”

Adrian was Rue’s son so, of course, she had noticed this.

She nodded, “Perhaps he has grown.”

Samantha said, “No, it’s not because he has grown, I sense confidence in him. I can’t explain it but it feels as if he’s standing proudly in the world and there’s no one else in this world who can surpass his confidence.

“It feels like he is an overlord.

“I’ve never encountered a man with such confidence. Not even in the son of Swallowston’s richest man.”
