Chapter 569


    Adrian held his arms in the air. “Sure, but you can’t show anyone the picture or post it online.”


    “Okay, okay!”


    Overwhelmed by excitement, Shirley quickly wrapped her arms around Adrian’s after asking Mya to


    help take a picture of them. After they were done, Shirley looked at the photo gleefully.


    “This is awesome! This will be the most important photo of my life, sir!


    “By the way, will Wyvern Peak be rebuilt? A lot of my friends, myself included, are huge fans of you


    guys.


    “Can I treat you to a meal perhaps?”


    Shirley’s relentless flurry of questions left Adrian startled. Next to him, Mya smiled and said, “Shirley,


    the legate has really important matters to attend to right now, so he currently doesn’t have the time.


    However, on his behalf, I promise he’lle to buy you a meal when he has time in the future. For


    now, I need you to tell me where your mother is


    Shirley understood and tidied her hair as he recalled Adrian mentioning her father’s rame a moment


    ago.


    “Is my father in some kind of trouble, sir? Actually, he and my mother have been divorced for more than


    twenty years now, which happened a little after I was born.”


    “So you’re not close to him?”


    Shirley answered, “I haven’t seen him moch. Plus, if I’m being honest, I despise him. I heard from my


    mother that he was the one who abandoned her.


    “And it was because… He was keeping another woman overseas.”


    Adrian and Mya exchanged looks.


    Kayn had a lover who lived overseas? But he was a professor at Southeast University for more than a


    decade. What was going


    on?


    The story was not adding up.


    Thus, Adrian asked, “Has he been overseas before?”


    “Yes, but even if he hadn’t, it’s unclear if they would not have gotten divorced. He wasn’t even by my


    mother’s side when I was born. Afterward, she said it’s because he has a lover overseas.”

    Mya turned toward Adrian and asked, “So, who’s lying to us? Bowen or Shirley? If Kayn has indeed


    been overseas, how could he possibly have been a professor at the university all those years ago?


    After that, Mya asked, “Shirley, do you know that your father worked as a lecturer at Southeast


    University?”

    “That was after he returned. In fact, he wasn’t a professor there per se. I think the principal at the time


    took pity on him and gave him a ce to stay temporarily.


    “I graduated from that university myself. Did something happen to my father?”


    Adrian rearranged his thoughts before saying, “In aller words, he was overseas before he worked at


    Southeast University. But why did he return all of a sudden? Something just doesn’t add up.”


    After pondering for a while longer, he looked at Shirley and said, “Take me to your mother, Shirley. I


    have important questions to ask lier.”


    Shirley nodded and replied, “Olcay. My mother’s at work right now. I’ll go get changed and take you two


    there. Just give me a moment.”


    Adrian and Mya waited for a while as Shirley changed into a pale blue dress and put on her high heels,


    seeming even more beautiful than before.


    “I’m ready. Let’s gu!” When Shirley left her room, she deliberately showed off her physique in front of


    Adrian as she headed downstairs.


    Seeing this, Mya nudged Adrian and said, “She’s got a crush on you.”


    “She’s got a crush on War Legate Draco.


    Mya merely chuckled and headed downstairs with Shirley in the lead
