The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 484

Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, your know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”

“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”

Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”

“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.

“Like me?”

“Yes!

Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”

Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”

”

Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to please a woman and prioritize me in life. He has to take care of me and love me. If I find a man like you, I’ll offer myself without the slightest hesitation.”

Adrian was rendered speechless after hearing Joanna’s ramblings.

“You could’ve just been straightforward and told me that you’ve fallen for me, right?”

“Heh–heh!” Joanna giggled and said, “Precisely. Adrian, do you have a twin brother? Let me have a taste of you at the very least because I’m growing eager!”

“I’m sorry but that’s not happening.” Adrian said as he shrugged.

Joanna smirked. She loved joking around. Chuckling, she said, “I’ll talk to Sam later. You can’t do anything with her since she’s pregnant now. I’ll take her place during her pregnancy because men like you will grow restless after not getting laid for three days. I’m free anyway so you can make use of me, right?”

There was no telling if Joanna was merely joking or if she actually had such thoughts.

Adrian smiled bitterly at Joanna. She appeared to be in deep thought and there was no telling what she was imagining Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Adrian did not speak as he turned the car to Jewel Road. However, he noticed a car stopped horizontally across the middle of the road in the distance. It was blocking their path.

Adrian stopped the car by hitting the brakes and wanted to find out what was going on.

Joanna’s body shook and her face turned ghastly pale.

“What’s going on?” Adrian asked after noticing her reaction.

“That’s…That’s my father!” Joanna said nervously.

Adrian looked over and saw a middle–aged man in a suit step out of the car that was blocking their path and walk toward them.

“Your father?” Adrian asked again.

“Yeah,” Joanna answered.

Adrian did not ask any further. This day was bound to come.

Joanna’s father was named Patrick Dupont and was an influential figure in Northrive. After learning about Joanna’s whereabouts, there was no doubt he was here today to bring Joanna back to the family home and force her to get married.

Soon, Patrick reached their car. Joanna was so scared that she did not have the courage to get out. She hastily buried her face in Adrian’s thigh in an attempt to conceal hersell.

Meanwhile, Patrick bent over and knocked on the window, Adrian opened it and said as he looked at Patrick, “How can I help. you, sir?”

Patrick did not respond and instead said to the long–haired woman lying on Adrian’s lap, “Joanna, you don’t need to hide anymore. I can tell that it’s you. Look at you. Where’s your sense of decency?”
