The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 59

Of course, Samantha knew Adaline’s true opinion on the matter.

She shot a smile at Adaline and consoled her by saying, “Go ahead and walk the path you want. There’s no need to overthink the situation, nor is there a need for you to care what others think of you.”

Adaline nodded.

At this moment, Rue handed Adaline a bank card and said, “There’s money in there for your tuition fees and daily necessities. Please spend it wisely.”

Adaline accepted the card without a word, but Adrian could tell she truly did not wish to stay on campus.

‘But if she doesn’t stay there, she’ll have to travel and that’s very inconvenient. Especially if she has any late–night study sessions.‘

At that thought, Adrian decided not to comment on the matter.

Rue then looked at him and said, “Adrian, could you send your sister to university tomorrow? Help her move into the dorm before coming home. And don’t forget to greet her dorm mates if you meet them.”

Adrian had nothing better to do the next day, plus his sister’s studies were of top priority to him. Hence, he said, “Got it. I’ll take her there tomorrow.”

“Here, take my car.” Samantha handed her car keys to Adrian.

Samantha was driving an Audi that she had owned for a few years so that she could drive herself to her business discussions.

However, Adrian did not take the keys. “You have matters to attend to at the office tomorrow. I’ll just get a cab to take Ada there.”

“He’s right, Sam. You seem really busy at work. I’ll be fine going in a cab,” Adaline tactfully refused too.

Seeing this, Adaline accepted the situation and said nothing more. After all, she did need her car for her next day’s agenda.

‘Okay, it’s settled then,‘ she thought.

Adrian woke up early the next morning.

Adaline had finished packing up and was chatting with Samantha.

Samantha was telling Adaline how things worked around in university. After all, she had gone through that phase of her life.

Adaline had always listened to Samantha, never objecting to whatever Samantha told her. In fact, she took in Samantha’s lectures even better than Rue’s.

“Are you all packed? We can leave whenever you’re ready.” Adrian walked out of the washroom after he was done cleaning up.

Adaline picked up her luggage and stood up.

“Sam, mother, I’ll be off now. You two take care of yourselves. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Mother, please take good care of Sam,” Adaline requested.

Adaline treated Samantha like family. After Samantha had accompanied both Adaline and her mother over the past seven years, Adaline now took extra care of Samantha.

After Rue nodded, Samantha said a few more words to Adaline and the two of them headed outside.

Meanwhile, Adrian hoisted Adaline’s luggage and they all left the neighborhood together. Samantha set off for Bailar while Adrian and his sister stood by the roadside..

As they tried to flag down a cab, Adaline just stood there and stayed silent. Adrian seemed more like a stranger to her than a

brother. There was an invisible barrier between the siblings that was most probably caused by Henry’s death.

Of course, Adrian kept to himself as well.

“There’s a car, Adrian.”

Adaline was about to wave her hand to try and stop the cab that was driving toward them when Adrian suddenly stopped her.

“Today’s your first day of university. It must be important to you, right? I’ll drive you there. Perhaps it’ll score you some points in being more welcomed there.”

Adaline was slightly taken aback. ‘Adrian’s right, but… Where’s his car?‘
