The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 23

Daniel, who was listening in, had mixed feelings.

The war legate, a war god on the battlefield, was a gentleman at home.

It was very rare for such a thing to happen—being tough when it involved the country’s safety, but soft and loving toward his wife.

Daniel spoke again. “Another thing, Ms. Samantha. Since the legate’s identity is top secret and might attract assassins, we’ll be announcing to the public tonight that you were just body doubles to ensure your safety.”

“That is important. Otherwise, my husband and I might be assassinated.” Samantha understood.

Daniel nodded. “But as a reward, Battle Warrior Lucas has arranged for the House of Bailar to have a spot at Swallow Central.”

Samantha was nervous when she heard this, but she was also excited. “General, my company is facing potential bankruptcy. Are you really going to give me a chance?”

“I’m certain you’ll be able to save your company as long as you put in the effort. This is the reward for taking a risk and pretending to be the legate and his wife,” Daniel replied.

“Please convey my thanks to Battle Warrior Lucas then.”

“Sure, don’t worry about it. By the way, if you face any troubles, do contact me because I have to ensure your safety.”

“I will.”

When Daniel dropped Adrian and Samantha at home, Rue had already made dinner.

Samantha had a smile on and looked pretty happy. A rare sight over the past few years.

“We’re home.” She got in, kicked off her heels, then slipped into her house slippers.

Adaline did not dare look at Adrian because she was worried.

Rue said, “Let’s have dinner.”
