Chapter 16

That night, Samantha went home straight after finishing work at Bailar.

As usual, dinner was ready at home.

“Mother, is Adrian back?” Samantha asked once she got home.

After leaving the Cowells’, she went to sit in her office and pondered for a long time. She knew that she had gone overboard by leaving Adrian on the streets. He was, after all, her husband.

Adrian had said all that to protect her, so when she did not see him home, she grew curious. She was afraid that he would leave again.

Rue replied, “He’s making dinner in the kitchen. He made everything here.”

Adrian walked out of the kitchen as Rue was saying that.

Upon seeing him, Samantha sighed in relief, but she was disappointed because all her husband knew was to cook.

“Go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner,” he said to her, but she gave no reply.

Everyone sat down and started having dinner, but Adaline suddenly said, “Sam, I heard that Swallow Central is almost ready to be opened to the public and that the legate will be attending the conference with his wife.”

“Yes,” Samantha smiled. “I heard about that too. Everyone’s talking about it.”
