The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 22

“What?”

Samantha’s declaration surprised Adrian.

He had done all that to show her that she would always be happy from now on. He was not expecting her to ask for a divorce.

“Why, Sam?” he asked.

She rubbed her eyes and turned around so he would not see her face.

Sensing the atmosphere in the car, Samantha calmed herself down. “I thought about it at the venue. You’re the legate. I’m not good enough for you. You can find someone a thousand times better.”

Samantha never expected to suddenly rise in status overnight. She was just a normal woman. How was she to deal with her husband’s sudden revelation of his identity?

She did not want any of this. All she wanted was for Adrian to go to work and get home on time every day. That was all.

She also thought that she was not good enough for him now. If she stayed with him, she would only hold him back.

After hearing this, Adrian sighed. Samantha was not a greedy woman so she might not be able to accept who he was.

“I’m sorry for being so reckless,” Adrian said regretfully.

He then smiled at her. “Don’t worry, Sam. I’m actually not the legate, and neither are you the legate’s wife.”

Samantha curiously turned toward him. “What nonsense is this?”

“It’s not nonsense. The legate already left Swallowston and I was just pretending to be him.” Adrian decided to spin this lie.

“Pretending?”

Adrian nodded. “It was just part of the marketing for Swallow Central. Remember what happened at Alyanz Tower with Celine? General Summers found me there and instructed me to pretend to be the legate.”
