The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 293

Women had a habit of overthinking things Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Samantha was beginning to let her thoughts run wild. At that moment, she could see how great the distance between them was with one being a great hero, while the other was nothing more than an ordinary woman.

How could the two of them possibly be a good mates for one another?

Adrian did not answer her question directly. Instead, he held her hands and said, “The way I see it, a woman who’s willing to wait for me for seven whole years is definitely no ordinary woman.

“Stop those silly thoughts of yours.”

Samantha fell silent and buried her face into his chest.

The couple soon arrived home. Rue was sitting on the sofa when Samantha called out, “We’re home, Mother.”

Rue spring to her feet and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Adrian in one piece. “Are you okay, my son?”

Adrian nodded.

“Huh? Why do you sound like you already know about his identity?” Samantha sounded slightly startled as she asked. Rue heaved a sigh and grabbed Samantha’s hands. “I only found out two days ago, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was afraid you might think you’re unworthy of Adrian when you found out, so 1..”

Samantha was silent for a moment when she heard this.

Indeed, she had behaved as though she did not approve of Adrian when he first returned. There were no feelings between them at the beginning, so it was only natural that she would choose to leave without causing a fuss if she had found out who Adrian really was at the time, but things were different now.

After bring together for some time, Samantha realized that she had fallen in love with her husband, so much that his identity no longer mattered to her. She could no longer bring herself to leave him.

“I don’t blame either of you, but please don’t hide things from me anymore. It makes me feel like I’m not a part of this family.

“But at the end of the day, I know you guys were doing it for my sake,” Samantha said.

Rue gently squeezed Samantha’s hand. “I’ve always seen you as my own daughter, Sam. I just feel so sorry that you have gone through so much pain by being a part of our family all these years. But that’s all in the past now, and you survived it all.

“It’s now time for Adrian to make it up to you.”

Samantha looked toward Adrian, realizing that something about him felt unfamiliar, yet so familiar all at once–the former feeling probably caused by his identity:

“I’ll be happy enough if he doesn’t kick me out. I wouldn’t dare to ask for anything more

Adrian laughed when he heard this, while Rue said, “You mustn’t forget your roots, Adrian. You may be successful now, but don’t forget how much Sarm has gone through just by waiting for you. She must be exhausted from it all..

“Take good care of her from now on and never fool around with other women, understand?”

Adrian nodded and replied, “It doesn’t matter who I am or how far I get in life. I will never forget that I’m Henry Xander’s son and Samantha’s husband.”

“That’s the spirit. Your father was always worried about how you’re going to turn out in life. I have a feeling he’ll be able to rest in peace now. I’m sure he’s very proud of you

“All right, that’s enough talk for today. You two go get some rest while I go get some groceries. I’ll call Ada to come home sa that we can all have a nice dinner together tonight,” He said as she pushed the couple into their rooms.
