Chapter 272


    Samantha was suddenly hit by a wave of mensories when Roe mentioned this


    Violet’s birthday wasing up in two days, which means the Cowells were probably going to prepare


    a party for her. When that timees, Samantha’s aunts would probably be there too.

    At a loss, Samantha said, “I’m not sure if I should go since Grandmother despises me”


    Nathan, Hugo, Francis, and ra were going to be there, so Samantha’s presence would only serve


    as aughingstock for them. However, it would not be logical for her to be absent either.

    “She’s still your elder at the end of the day, so why don’t you buy a gift and get Adrian to go with you?”


    Rue had always been one to respect her elders, thus she expressed this view to Samantha


    “I’ll ask Adrian tonight and see what he thinks.”


    “Okay.”


    At eleven that night, Samantha had already showered and was lying in bed as she read a book when


    Adrian got home.


    “Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Adrian asked when he entered the room.


    Adrian had his hands full with the matters at Southrive’s border, where the Lugosians had gathered.


    This was why he had been spending much time with Samantha, and thetter would already be asleep


    by the time he got home.


    Samantha put down her book and patted the mattress, gesturing for Adrian to sit next to her.


    After Adrian did as he was asked, she said, “Have your army buddies left? You’ve been spending so


    much time with them that you haven’t spent much time with me recently.”


    Adrian ruffled his hair andughed. “We all survived that catastrophe together at the end of the day, so


    it’s hard for us to not be close and not to want to spend a little more time together.”


    “I understand. I wasn’t reprimanding you.” Samantha rolled her eyes at Adrian before continuing,


    “Grandmother Violet’s birthday ising up. Do you think we should buy her a gift and attend the


    celebration? I can’t decide what to do.”


    Adrian pondered for a moment. “Violet’s a really foolish woman. So much so that Nathan and Hugo


    whom she raised ended up being trash


    ‘However, as her granddaughter, I suppose it’s only right for Sam to attend. Otherwise, the others will


    spread the word that Sam’s an ungrateful woman.‘


    “I think you should go. Let’s prepare her a gift and pay her a visit,” Adrian decided.


    “I think so too, but I’m sure we’ll end up being insulted by the Cowells if we do. It’s going to be a really


    awkward situation, so what should we do?” Samantha aslund worriedly.


    Adrian replied, “You could just give her the gift ande home without staying for dinner.”


    ‘He’s right. That’s a pretty good idea. At that thought, Samantha rxed


    She heaved a sigh of relief as she said, “Okay, let’s go with your n then. But I need you toe with


    me tomorrow. I can’t do this on my own. What if Francis hits me? What will I do then?


    “I’ll wager anything you want that he won’t dare to hit you.”


    ‘Still… Francis is capable of doing anything if I’m not around.


    Samantha chose not to say anything more and pulled her nket over herself before turning to her


    side. “All right, I should sleep early. I have work in the morning!


    Adrian nodded before lying down next to her and stretching out.


    Samantha tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
