The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 434

“What illness did he have?

“They couldn’t find the cause of it but his body tissues were degenerating and he sweated blood. He looked extremely sallow and was barely surviving on intravenous nutrition at times,” Mandy said.

Adrian tutted. He felt rather surprised because he had no idea Mandy had such a backstory. The woman was so noble that she

ble that s

was out of this world. She had taken it upon herself to marry the ill, bedridden man to take care of him.

However, Adrian noticed something strange in the story.

He asked. “Did he suddenly fall ill? If a healthy person falls sick, there should be a process to it, right?

Mandy raised her head to look at Adrian and said with a smile, “I shared the same thought as you in the past. I read through so much information but there wasn’t a proper explanation. In fact, I wondered if something did this to him at one point. However, I’ve failed to find any evidence.”

Adrian shook his head in frustration. It was just the way life was at times.

He said, “Don’t overthink it. However, I feel that you shouldn’t be waiting like this. You’re thirty–one years old and a female tycoon ranked one of the top ten wealthiest people in Southrive. Haven’t you considered remarrying?

“Moreover and most importantly, you’re still upholding your chastity after living for over thirty years?

Adrian was astonished, Very few women in this world could do what Mandy had done and he was impressed. She was already married by the time she was thirty–one but did not consummate the marriage due to her husband’s illness. She refused to remarry up to now and had been upholding her chastity all this time.

Adrian found Mandy’s ways to be utterly meaningless because she had already done everything in her power. He felt it unnecessary for her to change her life for a dead man

Mandy raised her head and chuckled upon hearing Adrian’s remark She said, “How could you say that, Adrian? Are you looking down on me because I haven’t slept with a man?”

Adrian shrugged. “I’m just telling the truth. You’ve already done what you can and your husband has already passed away so many years ago. The deceased has already departed and the living should move on with their life.

“Also, you have a long life ahead of you. How will your future look if you don’t have a family?”

Mandy pouted. “I’ll take life one step at a time, I suppose. I thought about this before but I have yet to find a man that I can fall for. I feel that it’s too difficult for a person like me to find true love.”

Mandy was right. She was one of the top ten wealthiest people in Southrive and she was so young. There were only a few people like her in the country.

Firstly, Mandy was probably the youngest tycoon. If a man did not measure up to her, she would feel that the man was only with her for her money. She wanted to find a man that matched her status but had failed to do so.

Hence, that was just how life was. It was not easy being a good woman.

Adrian sympathized with her. “What a waste. What a waste indeed.”

“What’s a waste? What do you think is a waste?” Mandy could not refrain from glaring at Adrian.

Adrian said, “Think about it. You’re such a beautiful and wealthy woman, yet you don’t date. Isn’t that a waste? It’s a waste of your outstanding genes. I think that it must be because your head is always up in the clouds. ”

Mandy replied, “My head isn’t up in the clouds at all I was married and am a widow now even though I didn’t consumamate my marriage. My head isn’t up in the clouds. It’s just the on’t trust the men ant there.

“Ola! How about you set me up with someone?” Mandy said with a grin.

Adrian glared at Mandy. He said, “All right, finish your food. I was just joking with you.” Mandy sniggered but did not speak anymore.

Adrian sent Mandy off after she finished her meal

He drove Mandy back to Swallowston Bank.

Mandy got out of the car and smiled at Adrian. “Legate, thank you for your help and for saving my life. I owe you a life.”

Mandy said this in a solemn manner.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
