Chapter 349


    A sense of gloom invaded the atmosphere.


    Samantha never once thought that she had another friend in the world whom she had never met and


    that she would never be able to catch up to everything Gloria had done for Adrian.


    They then lost all mood to enjoy their beers, probably because of how tragically Gloria went out.


    Samantha seemed to be in turmoil but nobody knew what she was thinking.


    Even Joanna, who was usually a huge talker, remained silent.


    How many people would actually be able to fathom that the decent lives they were living at that


    moment were due to the sacrifice of others?


    The dinner ended in silence.


    Joanna was initially nning on getting dead drunk that night but ended up leaving without even


    finishing her beer.


    The trio then returned to their vi at Jewel Road, where Rue and Juno were already asleep. Joanna


    took a bath and then retired to her room while Adrian and Samantha returned to theirs.


    Adriany in bed and yed a game on his phone while Samantha took a shower. When she got out of


    the bathroom in her nightgown, she looked at Adrian and seemed like she wanted to say something


    when she swallowed her words.


    “What’s the matter?” Adrian asked, seeing how Samantha was unlike her usual self.


    Samantha chewed her lips and continued to approach the bed. She then sat in front of Adrian and


    asked, “Do you miss Gloria?” Adrian smiled. “It’s in the past, so let’s not talk about it anymore. After all,


    we’ve still got our lives to live.”


    “But there’s this feeling inside of me that I can’t describe. How am I supposed to enjoy our life when I


    know that Gloria chose to sacrifice her own for you?”

    amantha had an awkward expression on her face. Although she was Adrian’s legal wife, the couple


    had been apart for seven years without consummating their marriage. So logically, they were not a true


    married couple yet


    On the other hand, Gloria had done so much for Adrian, even to the point where she was the reason


    Adrian was still alive at that moment.


    Now, Samantha was enjoying herself with a man whose life was saved by the sacrifice of another


    woman. It was extremely difficult for her to enjoy herself any further now that she knew the truth.


    Seeing this, Adrian said, “I wasn’t nning on telling you all this, but you got curious about my past and


    asked about it. I knew that I’d end up affecting your feelings when I reveal this to you.


    “But as I said, it’s all in the past. We should just let it go.”


    “But I’ve got this huge knot in my heart,” Samantha said as she started to sob, throwing herself into


    Adrian’s arms, Still weeping, she said, “I’m sorry, dear. I thought I’ve done a whole lot for you by waiting


    for you these past seven years, but none of that is worth anything inparison to what Gloria did for


    you. And I’ve even hate you for so many years!”


    Adrian took a deep breath. There were times when he failed to exin everything clearly to Samantha.


    More urately, he could not exin it.


    Instead, he gently stroked her hair and said, “You’re overthinking it. Sometimes, there are things that


    we just can’t interfere with or change. You should just live your life to the fullest and focus on what’s in


    front of you.”


    Samantha nodded. “I don’t know what kind of love would be so strong that it could transcend life and


    death. Perhaps I may never be able to love you as much as Gloria did, but I promise that I’ll cherish


    you from now o


    “Adrian found her reaction a little strange and asked, “Are you not mad at me?”


    Samantha shook her head. “What’s there to be mad about? You did not truly belong to me then, nor do


    I care about your past. However, I do wonder if you’re letting her down by living like this…


    “After all, she’s done so much for you.”
