The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 272

Samantha was suddenly hit by a wave of mensories when Roe mentioned this

Violet’s birthday was coming up in two days, which means the Cowells were probably going to prepare a party for her. When that time comes, Samantha’s aunts would probably be there too.

At a loss, Samantha said, “I’m not sure if I should go since Grandmother despises me”

Nathan, Hugo, Francis, and Clara were going to be there, so Samantha’s presence would only serve as a laughingstock for them. However, it would not be logical for her to be absent either. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“She’s still your elder at the end of the day, so why don’t you buy a gift and get Adrian to go with you?” Rue had always been one to respect her elders, thus she expressed this view to Samantha

“I’ll ask Adrian tonight and see what he thinks.”

“Okay.”

At eleven that night, Samantha had already showered and was lying in bed as she read a book when Adrian got home.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Adrian asked when he entered the room.

Adrian had his hands full with the matters at Southrive’s border, where the Lugosians had gathered. This was why he had been spending much time with Samantha, and the latter would already be asleep by the time he got home.

Samantha put down her book and patted the mattress, gesturing for Adrian to sit next to her.

After Adrian did as he was asked, she said, “Have your army buddies left? You’ve been spending so much time with them that you haven’t spent much time with me recently.”

Adrian ruffled his hair and laughed. “We all survived that catastrophe together at the end of the day, so it’s hard for us to not be close and not to want to spend a little more time together.”

“I understand. I wasn’t reprimanding you.” Samantha rolled her eyes at Adrian before continuing, “Grandmother Violet’s birthday is coming up. Do you think we should buy her a gift and attend the celebration? I can’t decide what to do.”

Adrian pondered for a moment. “Violet’s a really foolish woman. So much so that Nathan and Hugo whom she raised ended up being trash

‘However, as her granddaughter, I suppose it’s only right for Sam to attend. Otherwise, the others will spread the word that Sam’s an ungrateful woman.‘

“I think you should go. Let’s prepare her a gift and pay her a visit,” Adrian decided.

“I think so too, but I’m sure we’ll end up being insulted by the Cowells if we do. It’s going to be a really awkward situation, so what should we do?” Samantha aslund worriedly.

Adrian replied, “You could just give her the gift and come home without staying for dinner.”

‘He’s right. That’s a pretty good idea. At that thought, Samantha relaxed

She heaved a sigh of relief as she said, “Okay, let’s go with your plan then. But I need you to come with me tomorrow. I can’t do this on my own. What if Francis hits me? What will I do then?

“I’ll wager anything you want that he won’t dare to hit you.”

‘Still… Francis is capable of doing anything if I’m not around.

Samantha chose not to say anything more and pulled her blanket over herself before turning to her side. “All right, I should sleep early. I have work in the morning!

Adrian nodded before lying down next to her and stretching out.

Samantha tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
