Samantha quickly tidied up her hair to conceal her embarrassment.
She turned around and looked at Adrian. “All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
Adrian stood up. “I’ll send you home, but I myself will be home a little late tonight. I have some matters to attend to.”
Samantha felt disappointed. She felt that their relationship had been growing closer. She was already prepared to offer herself to Adrian tonight and consummate their marriage if he were to take some initiative or behave more dominantly.
Yet, Adrian was telling her that he would be home late?
‘I’ve already come around but…!
“Where are you going?” Samantha was rather agitated.
“I have a comrade whose daughter is living in Swallowston. I found out that she’s having some financial trouble and I can’t ignore it,” Adrian answered truthfully.
“If his daughter is having financial trouble, what is he doing to address that? 1 believe that he still gets paid by the military no matter how badly he performs, right?”
“He was killed in action and the compensation paid to his family by Wyvern Peak was swindled,” said Adrian.
“I… I’m sorry,” Samantha hastily apologized after noticing that she had said something that she should not have.
Adrian said with a smile, “It’s fine. So, I’ll be sending you home and then pay a visit to his daughter after.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“You’ve been working all day. You should get some rest, take a nice long shower, and wait for me in the room. I’ll be back before you know it,” Adrian teased.
“Hey!” Samantha’s face blushed scarlet instantly.
“I’ll go home and take a shower then. If I fall asleep, just wake me up. Don’t touch me when I’m sleeping, or I’ll get mad.”
“Sure, I’ll wake you.” Adrian cracked a smile.
“Look at you smiling so joyously at the thought of this matter. I shouldn’t have agreed to your request.”
Before Adrian had the chance to speak, Samantha said, “Let’s go. The sooner you drop me off, the sooner you can visit that girl and get home. Don’t forget to bring a gift. Do lend her some money if need be.
“Inside this card is four thousand dollars. Take it. Let me know if you’re running low since I’m holding on to your money.”
Samantha passed an ATM card to Adrian when they entered the lift.
Adrian took the card. He figured that Samantha would misunderstand the situation if he were to decline. After all, she had confiscated his money.
The sky was already dark by the time they got downstairs.
Adrian drove Samantha home.
Samantha was rather joyous because she felt her love for Adrian swell inside of her. She had never met him in person before they got married but she heard that he was a talented man. The marriage had been arranged by her grandfather, and in addition, Samantha admired the heir of the Xander family very much and so agreed to marry Adrian
However, she assumed that she was trapped in a loveless marriage after Adrian left. She stayed with his family with the me ntality of sticking with her spouse until the end of time. She had lept her chastity for her husband.
She had not expected Adrian to suddenly return.
Moreover, the feeling of estrangement between them gradually faded away and they were behaving more and more like a married couple.
Both of them had not spoken much when Adrian first got back. But these days, Samantha would find herself occasionally flirting with him.
Adrian dropped Samantha at the house. Before she got out of the car, she waved at Adrian. “Bye, dear. See you tonight. Drive safe!”
Adrian nodded. Then, he drove to Urban Village where Juno’s house was located.
He arrived at an ordinary-looking, house located in Swallowston’s Urban Village with an elderflower tree planted in the yard.
