The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 707

Mya left right after Adrian.

Elra and Ivy paused for a moment before going to look for their sisters, all while Adrian’s words rang in their ears.

It was late at night by the time Adrian walked out of Battle Warrior Tower, where a woman had been waiting for him for a long

It was Shirley.

“Adrian!” Shirley walked over to him the moment she spotted him exiting the building, but she did not look very happy.

Adrian stopped and remained silent.

Shirley and Christina had been busy arranging Kayn’s funeral while Adrian was not around. In a way, it was Shirley’s way of fulfilling her duties as his daughter.

“I just wanted to tell you that Mother and I have found a place in Swallowston, so we won’t be coming here unless we have to.”

Adrian nodded.

Logically, Shirley should hate Adrian’s guts for killing her father. But the truth was, as much as she hated him, Adrian had no choice at the time.

“Go on. I wish you both a good life,” Adrian sald.

Shirley took a deep breath before she said, “There’s one more thing… Mother and I have discussed it and agreed there’s no need for you to feel guilty over killing Father. You’ve already shown us a mountain of benevolence. We’re certain that we would’ve suffered a lot more if someone else had been in charge of the case.”

Adrian nodded once more, while Shirley smiled and reached out her hand. “Let’s shake hands and make peace, Adrian. Can we still be friends? I really do like you a lot.”

Adrian shook her hand and replied, “Tell Christina that Kayn’s actions will not affect your lives. You’re free to continue your studies while she’s free to find a job.”

“Thank you. I’ll be off then. Mother’s waiting for me. Come visit us if you’ve got time.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Shirley waved and got into a car parked by the roadside. Christina, too, waved at Adrian through the car window before driving off with her daughter.

After they left, Mya midged Adrian and said, “She’s quite pretty and has an excellent physique. I’m sure she’d be as nice, if not better, to play with than Samantha. Why don’t you give her a go?”

“Take me home,” Adrian sald, ignoring everything Mya just said.

Thus, Mya drove Adrian back to One Jewel Road. Along the way, she asked, “Are you sure you want Ivy and the others to help? What are your plans for them?”

“I want you to inform the elders at ACMA to immediately deliver the book once they’ve repaired it. After that, I need you to spread the news.”

“What do you have in mind?”

“Don’t you think this is the perfect opportunity to expand our forces? Haven’t you realized how capable Ivy and her sisters are? Things would be so much more smooth sailing with them around.”

Mya narrowed her eyes and said, “Smooth sailing for your nightly activities, perhaps? They’ve all lost the ability to get pregnant, just like me. Looks like Eternity is rather merciless, cutting them off from having any offspring just so they can Train better Well, it worlds in your favor.”

“That’s enough!” Adrian shot Mya a glare.

Seeing this, Mya stuck her tongue out and said nothing more.

Adrian got home at eleven in the evening that night. Samantha was lying in bed, reading a book. Her belly had a slight bulge at this point, making it evident that a life was being nurtured within.

When Adrian pushed the door open and entered, Samantha said without even raising her head, “You’re back.”

“What are you doing up so late?” Adrian asked.
