The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 20

“He’s here!”

“His wife is finally here too!”

“I’m finally meeting the legate from my dreams!”

Cheers rang throughout the rooftop garden as Adrian and Samantha stepped out of the chopper.

Samantha was shaking. Everything that was happening was like a dream. She was still shocked. She finally understood that she was not the CEO of the House of Bailar today, but the wife of the famous war legate.

All eyes were on her.

She turned around and saw Adrian coming down from the other chopper. He was in military uniform and looked grand-exuding an outstanding demeanor.

The venue quieted down after the crew members stepped in. No one spoke but everyone was excitedly looking at Adrian and Samantha. Some of them were even jealous.

Samantha turned around and looked toward the crowd. She knew that she was the main character of the day and everyone was there to see her.

She did not know why, but tears started rolling down her cheeks. She was crying.

Adrian, who was standing next to her, smiled. “Sam, you’re the most dazzling and beautiful woman in Swallowston and the whole world.”

He held her hand, then continued, “I told you that I’d prove it to you. Now, let’s get on stage.”

After hearing what he said and feeling the atmosphere, her tears were uncontrollable. She held his hand tightly and walked toward the crowd.

hand.

However, as they walked closer, the applause petered out and the venue went silent again.

Everyone finally saw their faces when they got close.

“Adrian? Sam?” Adaline, who was sitting in the VIP seat, was shocked as she watched them walk over. Rue covered her mouth in disbelief.

They were both astonished because the war legate and his wife who were walking over were Adrian

and Samantha.

Rue felt light-headed while Adaline’s heart thumped wildly because she could not believe what was happening.

“Mother, what’s this? Adrian and Sam are the legate and his wife?”

When the Cowells saw them, Nathan’s jaw dropped. Everyone was surprised too.

Violet’s face froze while Clara, who sat next to her, covered her mouth and froze.

“Oh no, Adrian is the legate!”

“Mother, what have we done?!” The Cowells finally snapped back to reality.
