The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 48

Every woman dreamt of owning the Heart of the Sea.

Samantha had already seen the news that morning and replied, “I know. There are many saying that it was the legate who bought it. I guess he’s the only one throughout Swallowston, Southrive even, worth selling the necklace to.

“I also heard that Lucas asked Belle to sell it to him many times, but she rejected him time and time again.”

At the mention of the legate and Lucas Jenner, Adaline was suddenly reminded of the events that took place the day before.

She was silent for a moment before she said, “Sam, do you think Adrian is…”

“What’s wrong with him?” Samantha shot Adaline a curious glance.

But, with a sigh, Adaline decided not to finish her sentence.

‘I can’t confirm that Adrian’s the legate yet, so it’ll only be hearsay if I tell her about it now.’

Instead, she shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. What I meant to say was he’s been proving himself to be a pretty decent guy. So, when are you planning to forgive him?”

“It’s still too early for that,” Samantha replied.

Adaline revealed a wry smile when she heard this. They headed to the dining table after they were done with their makeup. Adrian and Rue were already seated by the time they arrived.

The only difference that morning was that the way Adaline looked at Adrian had changed. But she had to keep her speculations to herself for the time being. She did not have enough evidence to prove that he was the legate.

‘I’ll just observe the situation first.’

Right at that moment, Adrian suddenly brought out an exquisite-looking box and handed it to Samantha. ‘This is for you, sweetheart…”

“What’s this?” Samantha curiously took a look at the box, which seemed like it contained a jewelry piece inside.

Attracted by this, Adaline looked over and asked, “Is that present for Sam?”
