The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 436

‘It’s been so many years The young man who would poke at hornet’s nests with me has now become a famous general.

‘Meanwhile, I’m nobody.”

Chuck always felt inferior in comparison to Adrian

But, if I think of it, the fact that we’ve been best friends since little hasn’t changed even though he’s super famous now.”

At that thought, Chuck handed the broom back to Adrian with a smile and said, “I completely forgot. I keep thinking that you’re War Legate Draco and have been feeling very distant from you so I’ve been on my toes.”

“Didn’t your father teach you not to forget your roots? My dad taught me that. He said I should never forget who I am no matter what I become.”

“You’re right. Does this mean we’re still best friends?”

Adrian nodded. “Of course, we are.”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, another voice said, “What about me?”

Reiss, wearing a pair of shorts, walked in and looked at the two men.

“Reiss? What are you doing here? Didn’t you return to Northrive?” Chuck asked in confusion when he saw her.

Reiss shot a glance at Adrian and took the broom away from his hands. “There’s nothing left for me to return to in Northrive so I’ve decided to stay in Swallowston from now on

“You two had better not forget about me, understand?”

Chuck noticed something was off with the way Reiss looked at Adrian. It was filled with a tinge of resentment. He could immediately tell that Reiss had already fallen for Adrian.

“I suppose it’s only logical. After all, who wouldn’t want to marry a man as successful as Adrian?”

Noticing Adrian’s silence, Chuck smiled and said, “Since you’re planning on living in Swallowston, Reiss, the three of us are now reunited. Who would’ve thought that we’d meet back here after seven years as adults?”

Reiss said, “You’re right. None of us ever thought this

s day would come seven years ago. We were living such carefree lives in the past, playing around and stuff. But now… We’ve all experienced too much.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

At this point, Chuck took a deep breath and said, “Wait here for a moment. I’m going to go get some beers so that we can spend The catching up with each other.”

Chuck got up and was about to head out to buy same beer when Adrian grabbed lus hand.

“Now’s not the time to be drinking, not until you’re done cleaning up the place. We’ll go get a drink tonight after we’re done

instead.”

Heiss cut in and asked, “Won’t your wife get suspicious if you stay out late?”

Adrian glared at her. “Do you honestly think I’m the kind of man who’d be afraid of his wife?”

Chuck Laughed when he heard this while Reiss rolled her eyes at Adrian.

“Sam has done a lot for Adrian, Reiss Any other woman would’ve remarried a long time ago after Adrian disappears. Instead, Sain walted for him for seven whole years. There aren’t many women as wonderful as her left in the world.”

Reiss was aware of the amount of effort Samantha had put in for Adrian. No other woman could come close ki her.

Chuck then added, “I suppose the three of us have gone through a whole lot recently… How are your parents by the way?”

Reiss replied, “They’ve both been arrested by War Legate Draco and thrown into prison. The De Forrest family is officially disbanded and I’m without a family now.

“Tell me, Chubbs. Should I hate him or thank him?”

Chuck merely smiled and did not say a word, which was a gond response in certain situations.

Reiss then shook her head. “All right, that’s enough of that. Let’s clean up your house and go out for some drinks.”

Chuck nodded, “Sure. Thank you both for helping me out. Adrian, go wipe that table please.”

He handed Adrian a rag
