The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 489

Everyone was enlightened by Rue’s remark

Samantha chuckled and looked at Adrian with narrowed eyes.

Adrian hastily shook his head. “No, that is not happening. If Jojo were to assume the identity of the legate’s wife, more people will come to kill her in the future. I can’t just stay by her side and guard her for the rest of my life, right?”

There were countless people in the outlands watching Adrian closely. Thus, he had no plans to reveal Samantha’s identity. If her identity was exposed to the world, assassins would come non–stop and that would be troublesome.

What if he was caught off guard and someone succeeded? It would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Joanna asked Samantha, “He’s right, Sam. It’s clear that this is not feasible. Is there any other way?”

Samantha said, “I’m not asking you to announce it publicly but to figure out a way to convince the DuPont family that Jojo is the legate’s wife.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“What if the DuPont family were to publicly announce that their daughter is married to the legate?” Adrian asked.

“Uh, we’ll get Jojo to figure out a way to communicate with them and it should be fine. Please help her, Adrian,” Samantha

pleaded.

Adrian shook his head. “This is not up for discussion!”

Samantha stood up and stared at Adrian. “Please do it, dear. I’ve been so good and I’m pregnant with your child. Just do me this one favor, will you?”

“I promise that I’ll hear you a son if you do,” Samantha said with a smile.

Adrian was rendered speechless.

“I don’t like sons. I prefer daughters,” said Adrian truthfully.

“I shall give you a daughter then.”

“Can you decide the gender of a child? If it’s decided by us, why doesn’t Jojo have a younger brother?” Adrian countered.

“So you’re saying that you just won’t do it?” Noticing that her softness was not working, Samantha decided to let him have it the hard way.

Adrian sat down and began eating.

Samantha said, “This is just a menial task for you. I’ll cry if you still won’t do it!”

As she spoke, Samantha pouted and started tearing up.

Joanna was impressed that Samantha was capable of summoning her tears at will.

Joanna figured that Samantha was good enough to be an actress.

Adrian had no other choice but to relent in the end. He said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll do it. However, I must clarify something beforehand. You’re not going to be jealous if I do this, right?”

Samanthas shook her head. “It’s fine. Jojo’s my best friend. I’ll be fine!”

It was a very rare occasion to have best friends with such aclose relationship.

Upon hearing Samantha’s remark, Adrian sald, “I’ll figure out a way later. However, things do not always happen as we plan. Don’t be too proud of yourselves just yet because we’ll need to bear the consequences when the matter turns sour.”

After coming to an agreement, Samantha and Joarma did not comment further and returned to their separate rooms to rest.

The next day, Samantha and Joanna headed to work. Rue ordered Adrian to keep Samantha company at all times because she
