Chapter 346


    She turned to Samantha and said, “Come, Sam, let us toast to our friendship. And to Adrian, for being


    here and being able to toast with you.”


    Samantha got to her feet as well and said, “jojo, just so you know, I can’t drink too much. I’m preparing


    for pregnancy.”


    “Pift. You’re going to have a baby? Joanna asked in surprise as she sputtered a bit of her drink. She


    never imagined that her best friend would be preparing to have a child at this very moment.


    Samantha nodded shyly as her checks reddened. “Adrian and I have been married for seven years,


    and we’re not getting any younger. My mother-inw has been urging me to have a child, and I want to


    have one as soon as possible while Adrian is still here.”


    Joanna asked, “From your tone, does that mean he has to leave soon?”


    Samantha looked at Adrian and smiled. “Although he’s my husband, his heart doesn’t belong to me


    alone. The warriors of Wyvern Peak will always be a part of him.


    “With the ounds being in a state of high tension, no one knows when an order maye down for


    Adrian to return to the battlefield. It’d be good for me to have a child by my side, so I can feel more at


    ease,” Samantha added.


    Joanna’s expression froze, realizing the gravity of Samantha’s words. Samantha’s thoughts had always


    been forward-looking. but this also indirectly indicated how much pressure she would have to bear in


    the future.


    Samantha wanted to cherish the present and everything she had now so that in the future, she would


    not regret anything.


    “ording to what you’re saying, you should have a child. At least when Adrian goes to war, you still


    have a child to keep youpany,” Joana said, “All right, how about you stop drinking and start


    preparing for your pregnancy as of today? We shall get Adrian to drink this on your behalf.”


    Joanna quickly grabbed the beer from Samantha and handed it to Adrian. She teased him, “Legate,


    here’s a personal toast from me to you. You won’t refuse it, will you?””


    Adrianughed heartily and raised his ss. “How could I refuse a toast from Big Sister Joanna?


    Cheers!”


    After clinking their bottles, Adrian wasted no time and downed his drink. Joanna, on the other hand,


    took a generous gulp. before settling down to enjoy her meal.


    Joanna turned to Adrian with a curious expression and asked, “By the way, do you think we can really


    defeat those from the ounds? They always seem so bullish and full of themselves.”


    Samantha was interested in the answer to this matter but had never once asked Adrian about it.


    Adrian replied, “Let’s not talk about war while drinking. Just go about your honest lives as usual. Even if


    the sky falls, Wyvern Peak will be there to hold it up. You won’t be crushed.”


    “But I’m still curious!” Joanna eximed, not satisfied with the answer. “This question has always been


    on my mind. Aren’t you


    hald when you go to battle? If it were an ordinary person, they’d be scared shless when a gun is


    pointed at their head, let alone in a warzone where bullets rain down like hail”


    Adrian calmly responded, “Everyone feels fear but some choose to carry the burden and press on.”


    “That’s why these people are true heroes,” Joanna said approvingly, “If it were me, I’d wet myself at the


    very beginning Sam, you’ve found the best man in all of Navia and are now the wife of a hero. I envy


    you so much.”


    Joanna looked at Samantha with admiration, and Samantha smiled in response,


    “That’s right,” Samantha said in a jokingly smug tone, “While many people aim to conquer the world, I


    only need to conquer one man. That’s already equivalent to conquering the entire world.”


    Joanna rolled her eyes and said, “Look at how proud you are. I too want to find a man like that. By the


    way, Adrian, are there any heroes left in Wyvern Peak? Could you introduce me to one? I won’t even


    ask for a dowry. What do you say?”


    Adrian chuckled and replied, “Well, if you’re looking for a hero, we do have a team of canine special


    forces that have been rated as first-ss heroes. I could introduce you to one of them, but I’m not sure


    how well you’ll hit it off.”


    “Get lost, you clown! You’re never serious. I want a man, not a dog!” Joanna red at Adrian with a


    scowl, while Samantha giggled at their exchange.


    Adrian shrugged and continued, “Stop dreaming about your perfect match. Just marry an ordinary


    person. As for marrying a hero, it’s just a fantasy. Juno’s mother is the best example!RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
