"I'll be leaving my sister in your care. But remember Adrian, if you dare abandon her again, I swear you’ll never hear the end of it from me. Promise me you'll take good care of her and that no harm will befall her," Gracia warned.Adrian nodded in response.Meanwhile, Gloria said, "I'm not going to be gone forever, Cici. Cell phones are pretty convenient nowadays, so I'll call you every day. In return, I want you to focus on running your company and not worry about me."Gracia replied, "How can I not worry? I've been worried sick ever since you went to Wyvern Peak, and now that you've got this condition… It's really hard for me to not worry about you.""I've got Adrian with me, don't I?" Gloria reassured with a smile."That may be true, but he may not have your best interests at heart. Anyway, I won't comment on the matter anymore. Just make sure you take good care of her, Adrian.""I'll come back to you with my head removed from my neck if I fail to do so," Adrian replied.Glo

Although it was not as bustling as Drogoton, being in Swallowston gives Adrian a sense of nostalgia.The most iconic building in Swallowston was undoubtedly its Battle Warrior Department, a thirty-three-story tall building located in the center of the city, admired by everyone.As they drove into Swallowston's urban area, Gloria rolled down the car window, curiously and eagerly looking out at the city. She turned to Adrian and asked, "Is this Swallowston? Have we arrived?"Gloria's face was full of delight.Adrian replied, "Yes, we're here. That ta

"Sam," he called out.Samantha was holding Nova in her arms, and when she saw Adrian, she immediately became excited and hurriedly toward him with the baby. "You're back! Come take a look at her. She's three months old now."Excitedly, Samantha handed Nova to Adrian, who carefully took her in his arms. Nova had a pair of bright eyes that looked at Adrian curiously. Holding his daughter for the first time, Adrian felt a wave of warmth deep inside his heart. He felt like he was holding the whole world in his arms.Suddenly, Nova laughed. Her laughter sounded as though she was saying hello to her father.Adrian was thrilled at the sight, while Samantha had a doting expression on her face. "This is the first time I've seen her laugh. How adorable. She's laughing for you!"Samantha's face was filled with happiness as she spoke.Adrian, who was seeing his daughter for the first time, felt a sense of paternal responsibility overcome him.Nearby, Gloria stood by the car, watching the in

Rue burst into laughter, feeling as though she and Gloria were very close.Ending that topic, Rue pulled Gloria to the couch and said, "You and Sam chat while I go cook something for you to eat. I'd like to give you a warm welcome."After saying that, Rue went back to the kitchen.Samantha came over and poured out a few cups of tea. Adrian sat on the couch holding Nova, continuously gazing at his daughter with a face full of affection.Samantha smiled and said, "Make yourself at home, Gloria. This is your home from now on, so make yourself comfortable.""Okay," Gloria replied.Samantha sat down and continued, "To be honest, too much has happened over the past few years. Adrian left on the second day after we got married, and I haven't been able to get in touch with him for seven years. He was still a child when we got married at the time, still very immature."Gloria said, "He was still a child during his first year at Wyvern Peak. Every night after he was done training, he woul

Samantha smiled and said, "Of course I am. Do I look like I'm lying to you? You're Adrian's biggest regret in life. Now that you're back, he doesn’t want to feel that regret again. Or are you saying you don't want to stay with us?"Gloria shook her head repeatedly and looked at Adrian, who was still playing with Nova, staying out of the conversation. She awkwardly said, "I think you've misunderstood, Sam. I came here only because I wanted to see you. I wasn't planning on taking Adrian away from you. He's your man, and nothing will ever change that, including me. I wouldn't—""Can you just stand by and watch him be with another woman after you sacrificed yourself for him out of love?" Samantha interrupted, "I asked Jojo and Nadine to stay out of the house because I wanted to talk to you about this. Stay here and live with us. Adrian belongs to both of us. Okay?"Samantha held Gloria's hand, her eyes filled with hope. Perhaps keeping Gloria by their side was the only thing Samantha th

Gloria and Samantha exchanged glances.Rue then said, "Okay, now that that's settled, hurry up and get prepared to eat!"She had prepared a scrumptious lunch for them, specially made for Gloria.This was Gloria's first time having a meal with Adrian's family, and although she seemed shy, she was also hopeful for what was about to happen.After lunch, Samantha carried Nova in her arms and brought Gloria to her room.There seemed to be a complex relationship between the two women despite it being their first meeting. Samantha wanted to help Gloria get used to living with them as soon as possible, which was why Nova became a very important conversation starter for them.In the room, Samantha changed Nova's diapers while Gloria helped on the side.

Inside the company office, Riley, dressed in her CEO uniform, was discussing work with Reiss."Huh?!"Reiss and Riley seemed visibly puzzled when they saw Adrian."Now this isn't someone you see every day. What brings you here, War Legate Draco?" Reiss jokingly asked.Riley said, "Did you just get back from your trip? Have you been home to see your daughter? I've already gone to see her. She resembles you a little."Adrian replied, "I've got so much free time on my hands that I'm seriously bored, so I thought I'd stop by to visit.""Please have a seat." Riley and Reiss walked out from behind the desk and gestured.Reiss quickly got up to prepare some coffee, while Riley and Adrian sat down on the sofa.Riley asked, "What's up? You must be really busy, so I doubt you've come here just for a cup of coffee."Adrian got straight to the point and said, "Have you visited your father and uncles in prison?"Leonard, Wilfred, and the rest of the family had been sent to prison for abou
