The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 449

Vivian started asking about Adrian’s personal life.

After all, he had been her student once and they were able to run into each other out of sheer luck.

However, Adrian had no idea how to answer her question. After a brief pause, he said, “I’m married too, Viv.”

“What?” Vivian seemed pleasantly surprised as she looked at Adrian. “Well done, you! You’re such a handsome man so I’m sure you bagged yourself a beautiful wife as well, haven’t you? So, who’s the lucky girl?”

Adrian remained silent for a while before smiling sheepishly. “You’ve probably heard of her. Her name’s Samantha Cowell.”

“S–Samantha?”

“Samantha Cowell,” Adrian repeated.

Vivian was instantly shocked and could not find the words to say for a while. She had an awkward expression on her face and seemed caught in a daze.

After a long pause, she still seemed to be in disbelief as she said, “There have been so many rumors going around about how the eldest son of the Xanders married the eldest daughter of the Cowells… That’s you? Your father is Henry Xander?”

Adrian nodded his head and said nothing.

“So, you’re the one who caused everyone in Swallowston to know about the Xanders and the Cowells!”

“Surprised?” Adrian smiled.

“Quite, actually. Did you drop out of school because your father passed away?”

Adrian nodded. “It’s actually a lot more complicated than that. My uncles tried to take my father’s company away from me so they sent me away.”

Vivian had heard about this incident but she had not expected Adrian to be involved. She sighed and felt a tinge of pity for him.

“I heard about this. I also heard that Samantha’s been waiting for her husband for seven years after she got married. Looks like your wife loves you very much. Did you only return recently? I’ve heard so much of what happened to you.”

“Most of it is true.” Adrian smiled.

Vivian heaved a long sigh and said nothing more about the matter. Instead, she said, “Well, you managed to get through the toughest parts of your life, and Samantha has formed New Paraiso. I suppose you and your family are living quite decent lives now, right?”

“It’s not too bad.”

Vivian smiled and chatted with Adrian for a while longer before she answered a phone call. Shortly after that, a little boy around six years old ran into the restaurant and threw himself into Vivan’s arms.

“Mommy!” the boy said.

Vivian looked happy as she placed the little boy on her lap. “Adrian, this is my son, Cory. Cory, say hello to Adrian.”

The little boy immediately said, “Hello, Adrian!”

Adrian smiled and patted Cory’s head. Looks like Vivian is living a rather happy life with her family.”

A young man then walked over with a smile on his face. Upon spotting him, Vivian said, “Adrian, this is my husband, Norman Thompson. Dear, this is Adrian. He’s one of my former students.”

“Hello, Mr. Norman.” Adrian got up and shook the man’s hand.

“Hey, Adrian. Please, just call me Norm,” Norman said.

Vivian exchanged a few words with Norman before asking him to take Cory outside to play while she continued her chat with NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Adrian.

Norman soon brought Cory outside, while Vivian asked, “By the way, why did you come to SK today?”
