Chapter 436


    ‘It’s been so many years The young man who would poke at ho’s nests with me has now be a


    famous general.


    ‘Meanwhile, I’m nobody.”


    Chuck always felt inferior inparison to Adrian


    But, if I think of it, the fact that we’ve been best friends since little hasn’t changed even though he’s


    super famous now.”


    At that thought, Chuck handed the broom back to Adrian with a smile and said, “Ipletely forgot. I


    keep thinking that you’re War Legate Draco and have been feeling very distant from you so I’ve been


    on my toes.”

    “Didn’t your father teach you not to forget your roots? My dad taught me that. He said I should never


    forget who I am no matter what I be.”


    “You’re right. Does this mean we’re still best friends?”


    Adrian nodded. “Of course, we are.”


    The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, another voice said, “What about me?”


    Reiss, wearing a pair of shorts, walked in and looked at the two men.


    “Reiss? What are you doing here? Didn’t you return to Northrive?” Chuck asked in confusion when he


    saw her.


    Reiss shot a nce at Adrian and took the broom away from his hands. “There’s nothing left for me to


    return to in Northrive so I’ve decided to stay in Swallowston from now on


    “You two had better not forget about me, understand?”


    Chuck noticed something was off with the way Reiss looked at Adrian. It was filled with a tinge of


    resentment. He could immediately tell that Reiss had already fallen for Adrian.


    “I suppose it’s only logical. After all, who wouldn’t want to marry a man as sessful as Adrian?”


    Noticing Adrian’s silence, Chuck smiled and said, “Since you’re nning on living in Swallowston,


    Reiss, the three of us are now reunited. Who would’ve thought that we’d meet back here after seven


    years as adults?”


    Reiss said, “You’re right. None of us ever thought this


    s day woulde seven years ago. We were living such carefree lives in the past, ying around and


    stuff. But now… We’ve all experienced too much.”


    At this point, Chuck took a deep breath and said, “Wait here for a moment. I’m going to go get some


    beers so that we can spend The catching up with each other.”


    Chuck got up and was about to head out to buy same beer when Adrian grabbed lus hand.


    “Now’s not the time to be drinking, not until you’re done cleaning up the ce. We’ll go get a drink


    tonight after we’re done


    instead.”


    Heiss cut in and asked, “Won’t your wife get suspicious if you stay outte?”


    Adrian red at her. “Do you honestly think I’m the kind of man who’d be afraid of his wife?”


    Chuck Laughed when he heard this while Reiss rolled her eyes at Adrian.


    “Sam has done a lot for Adrian, Reiss Any other woman would’ve remarried a long time ago after


    Adrian disappears. Instead, Sain walted for him for seven whole years. There aren’t many women as


    wonderful as her left in the world.”


    Reiss was aware of the amount of effort Samantha had put in for Adrian. No other woman coulde


    close ki her.


    Chuck then added, “I suppose the three of us have gone through a whole lot recently… How are your


    parents by the way?”


    Reiss replied, “They’ve both been arrested by War Legate Draco and thrown into prison. The De


    Forrest family is officially disbanded and I’m without a family now.


    “Tell me, Chubbs. Should I hate him or thank him?”


    Chuck merely smiled and did not say a word, which was a gond response in certain situations.


    Reiss then shook her head. “All right, that’s enough of that. Let’s clean up your house and go out for


    some drinks.”


    Chuck nodded, “Sure. Thank you both for helping me out. Adrian, go wipe that table please.”


    He handed Adrian a rag
