The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 307

The few of them stayed in the pool for a long time.

Adrian helped Juno to train her leg coordination. The training was effective, of course, and her legs steadily grew stronger.

By the time they got out of the pool, it was already very late at night. They dried themselves off and changed into their pajamas

After sending Juno back to her room, Samantha and Adrian made their way to the room upstairs

Samantha was exhausted from the long swimming session on top of the move today. She planned on engaging in surne pillow talk with Adrian but she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

After she was sound asleep, Adrian walked out of the room and headed to the viewing deck in the sky garden.

Swallowston was a busy city, especially at night. It was brightly lit by dazzling lights. He could see the whole of Swallowston from the viewing deck.

Adrian lit a cigarette and thought about many things as he stood there quietly. He thought about how his life was getting better and herter by the day. However, his contrades who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield now lay in eternal sleep in the lands of foreign countries.

In fact, some of them did not even have a tombstone.

Those fallen soldiers had left behind countless family members, and Adrian wondered how their lives were. He knew that, even as the war legate, he could not take care of everyone.

The night grew late. However, more and more past memories that Adrian kept hidden flashed through his mind.

His ex–comrades–his past companions. They were soldiers who followed him loyally.

“Why are you still up so late at night?”

As he stood there silently, Adrian suddenly heard Samantha’s voice call out. He turned his head and saw her approaching him in her loose nightgown.

Adrian said, “Why are you awake?”

Samantha persed her lips and answered, “I turned over and reached out for you. When I realized you weren’t there, I got up. I panicked that you had disappeared like when I woke up seven years ago.”

Samantha sounded aggrieved when she said this. Seven years ago was her nuptial night with Adrian. On that night, she was eighteen years old and was preparing to offer herself to her husband.

Yet, she was exhausted that night and had fallen asleep on their new bed. When she woke up, she discovered that her husband was already gone.

Now that Adrian was back, he brought her boundless honor and wealth that she had never dreamed of. She feared that he would be gone again when she woke up.

“I will never leave you again,” Adrian said softly as he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Samantha

Samantha remained in his embrace and followed his gaze, looking toward the bustling Swallowston. She then raised her head and muttered, “What’s on your mind, dear?”

Adrian replied, “My glory and my life were given to me by my comrades, I can’t help but think about them as I live in such good house.

“They sacrificed their lives so I can live this way, I don’t know if I should be happy or sad.”

Samantha fell silent upon hearing Adrian’s remark. She suddenly hit her lip and said, “I’m sorry, dear. I didn’t expect that the act of buying this house would affect you so much. I’m sorry I didn’t realize‘
