    Everyone was enlightened by Rue’s remark


    Samantha chuckled and looked at Adrian with narrowed eyes.

    Adrian hastily shook his head. “No, that is not happening. If Jojo were to assume the identity of the


    legate’s wife, more people wille to kill her in the future. I can’t just stay by her side and guard her


    for the rest of my life, right?”


    There were countless people in the ounds watching Adrian closely. Thus, he had no ns to reveal


    Samantha’s identity. If her identity was exposed to the world, assassins woulde non–stop and that


    would be troublesome.


    What if he was caught off guard and someone seeded? It would haunt him for the rest of his life.


    Joanna asked Samantha, “He’s right, Sam. It’s clear that this is not feasible. Is there any other way?”


    Samantha said, “I’m not asking you to announce it publicly but to figure out a way to convince the


    DuPont family that Jojo is the legate’s wife.”


    “What if the DuPont family were to publicly announce that their daughter is married to the legate?”


    Adrian asked.


    “Uh, we’ll get Jojo to figure out a way tomunicate with them and it should be fine. Please help her,


    Adrian,” Samantha


    pleaded.


    Adrian shook his head. “This is not up for discussion!”


    Samantha stood up and stared at Adrian. “Please do it, dear. I’ve been so good and I’m pregnant with


    your child. Just do me this one favor, will you?”


    “I promise that I’ll hear you a son if you do,” Samantha said with a smile.


    Adrian was rendered speechless.


    “I don’t like sons. I prefer daughters,” said Adrian truthfully.


    “I shall give you a daughter then.”


    “Can you decide the gender of a child? If it’s decided by us, why doesn’t Jojo have a younger brother?”


    Adrian countered.


    “So you’re saying that you just won’t do it?” Noticing that her softness was not working, Samantha


    decided to let him have it the hard way.


    Adrian sat down and began eating.


    Samantha said, “This is just a menial task for you. I’ll cry if you still won’t do it!”


    As she spoke, Samantha pouted and started tearing up.


    Joanna was impressed that Samantha was capable of summoning her tears at will.


    Joanna figured that Samantha was good enough to be an actress.


    Adrian had no other choice but to relent in the end. He said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll do it. However, I must


    rify something beforehand. You’re not going to be jealous if I do this, right?”


    Samanthas shook her head. “It’s fine. Jojo’s my best friend. I’ll be fine!”


    It was a very rare asion to have best friends with such aclose rtionship.


    Upon hearing Samantha’s remark, Adrian sald, “I’ll figure out a wayter. However, things do not


    always happen as we n. Don’t be too proud of yourselves just yet because we’ll need to bear the


    consequences when the matter turns sour.”


    Aftering to an agreement, Samantha and Joarma did notment further and returned to their


    separate rooms to rest.


    The next day, Samantha and Joanna headed to work. Rue ordered Adrian to keep Samanthapany


    at all times because she
