The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 695

Noticing the beer Mya brought over, Adrian said, “We still have official duties to attend to. Let’s not drink, okay?”

Mya answered, “It’s rare for you to go on business trips so don’t you want to enjoy the ambiance here? I bet you haven’t had a good meal out in years after becoming the legate, right?!

“Not really. I had tacos with Samantha and Joanna not too long ago,” Adrian answered.

Mya sniggered, flipped her hair, and said, “That’s because you don’t have a woman whose name ends with a “ria‘ around you. Did I remind you of Gloria somehow?

Adrian was stunned and looked at Mya with widened eyes

Mya chuckled and said, “Why are you staring at me? Was I wrong?”

Adrian did not comment and poured himself a glass of beer.

Then, Mya said, “I remember that Gloria got you drunk many years ago and slept with you when you were intoxicated. Then, she left for eternity the next day. Do you believe me if I tell you that I’ll get you drunk like Gloria?”

Adrian said, “Gloria is a much better drinker than you and me. With your alcohol tolerance, you can forget about it.”

Mya chuckled and ate her brisket. She turned her head to observe the passersby and the bustling night scene. She said in a voice laden with emotion, “I suddenly feel like our lives are inferior to normal

people. I’ve forgotten about all the dreams I had in the past. Frankly, I don’t enjoy my current life much.”

Adrian smiled upon noticing that Mya was moved by what she saw. He understood that many people shared Mya’s thinking. Wyvern Peak was regarded as hope and aspiration, but that was only in the eyes of the outsiders.

Every member of Wyvern Peak wanted to live a peaceful, boring life. However, they were duty–bound to do the right thing.

“Tell me, what were your dreams?” Adrian realized that he never had a heart–to–heart talk with Mya before, and today was a rare moment of leisure time for them, so he asked her.

Mya pouted and pondered, looking like a feminine woman. If anyone were to look at her now, they would not think she looked. the slightest bit a battle warrior. Instead, she looked like a gentle, soft– spoken woman.

After a while, she said, “I enjoyed playing the piano back in university. I was very passionate about it at the time. I imagined that my Mr. Right would drive a luxurious car and marry me in the future. Thinking back, my dreams at the time were wonderful”

“Are you Lacking a Mr. Right who drives a luxurious car in your life?” Adrian asked.

“There are millions of men in this world, but there is only one Mr. Right for ine,” Mya stated plainly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Who’s your Mr. Right then?”

“I won’t tell you.” Mya rolled her eyes.

Adrian did not probe further but said, “Since that was your dream, why did you enlist in ACMC then? You’re also now at the age of retirement so you can choose to retire from service.”

Mya looked at Adrian and said, “You might not believe me if I tell you the truth. Frankly, I was planning on retiring this year, but I chose to stay because of you.”

“Because of me?

“That’s right,” Mya said, “The situation with Novemton’s Chase is so worrisome, and I can’t bear to see you go through these hardships alone. I want to help you in fight back. I had already made plans with a few best friends to go traveling after i retire.”

“So according to you, I owe you a favor.”

“Good. You understand. I chose to stay because of you on multiple occasions. In truth, when I enlisted in the academy at the

time, I did it out of retaliation against my family. After I enlisted, I discovered that there are many things beyond my control”
