The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 608

Adrian continued, “When I saw your father’s photo and compared it against War Legate Achelous‘ statue, I thought they looked similar. With everything said, I suddenly feel that behind your mother’s mask lies a temperament befitting a legate’s wife, plus this veteran I’m talking about has been by her side this whole time. Only this time, she was the one who called him

over.”

“What’s Mother planning to do?” Nadine asked.

“It’s simple, really. If I’m correct, your mother already knows who I am but is putting on an act.

“What?” Nadine was so shocked her legs gave way. “Are you saying that she knows you’re War Legate Draco? Why would she play along with our act then?”

Adrian smiled, “There’s only one answer, and that is because your father was War Legate Achelous and she’s his wife. On top of that, she knows why we’re here and is keeping a close eye on us.”

“No, no… No… You can’t be right.” Nadine waved her hands desperately. “What’s the big idea with this drugged chicken soup then?”

Nadine pointed at the bowl, while Adrian nodded seriously. “Your mother wants you to become pregnant with my child, and she wants it to happen right now. That’s the only explanation I can come up with. She might be afraid of something, or maybe she knows something and is trying her best to avoid it from happening.”

“Huh??? H–How’s that possible? What could she be after?

“I’ve already told you her objective and that she’s doing it to avoid something from happening. She’s trying to get all of this mess done and dusted.”

“What mess are you talking about?” Nadine was already trembling as her theory was cut off midway.

Adrian took a deep breath. “All of the answers to our questions should be in your grandfather’s study. The thing your mother is afraid of is exactly what I’m looking for.

“Are you talking about that book we auctioned off at Fowler House?” Nadine said forthcomingly.

Adrian pinched the tip of her nose as he replied, “Smart girl. Looks like there’s hope for you after all

“Ow! That hurts, you jerk.” Nadine rubbed her nose.

“I pity all the parents in the world. If my hunch is correct, your mother has been living a really tough life this whole time. However, I wonder what frightened her so much.”

“What does that book contain exactly?

“Is this prophecy actually true or not?

“But didn’t you say that it has already come true in your case?” Nadine said continuously.

Adrian nodded her head. “It’s exactly because of this I think your mother’s afraid that the prophecy might continue to come true, which is why she’s trying to break the pattern. That means you’re linked to the prophecy in some way and that your mother is doing all this to protect you.”

Nadine found it a little difficult to digest all this information for a moment. However, after some thought, she finally stood up and said, “What do we do now?”

“We have to find the answers at your grandfather’s place tonight. That book that was auctioned off at Fowler House will change the entire game. I have to read the book’s contents.”

Nadine pursed her lips and perched herself on top of Adrian. “It’s sill early, so why don’t we go after midnight?”

Adrian nodded. “I’ll have a computer hacker from Wyvern Peak attack the Gardners‘ security systems with a virus after midnight so that their surveillance cameras will be rendered inactive. We’ll then infiltrate the house and find what we need as soon as possible. We have to get it done before their systems come back online. ”

After saying this, Adrian got into the bed and covered himself with a blanket. “All right, let twelve.”

Nadine got up from the sofa and stared at Adrian, who had taken over half of her bed. “Where am I supposed to sleep?”

“Wherever

like”

Nadine smiled when she heard this and got into her bed, scooching next to Adrian. She then turned around and held his shoulders.
