Chapter 695


    Noticing the beer Mya brought over, Adrian said, “We still have official duties to attend to. Let’s not


    drink, okay?”


    Mya answered, “It’s rare for you to go on business trips so don’t you want to enjoy the ambiance here?


    I bet you haven’t had a good meal out in years after bing the legate, right?!


    “Not really. I had tacos with Samantha and Joanna not too long ago,” Adrian answered.


    Mya sniggered, flipped her hair, and said, “That’s because you don’t have a woman whose name ends


    with a “ria‘ around you. Did I remind you of Gloria somehow?


    ??


    Adrian was stunned and looked at Mya with widened eyes


    Mya chuckled and said, “Why are you staring at me? Was I wrong?”


    Adrian did notment and poured himself a ss of beer.


    Then, Mya said, “I remember that Gloria got you drunk many years ago and slept with you when you


    were intoxicated. Then, she left for eternity the next day. Do you believe me if I tell you that I’ll get you


    drunk like Gloria?”


    Adrian said, “Gloria is a much better drinker than you and me. With your alcohol tolerance, you can


    forget about it.”


    Mya chuckled and ate her brisket. She turned her head to observe the passersby and the bustling night


    scene. She said in a voiceden with emotion, “I suddenly feel like our lives are inferior to normal


    people. I’ve forgotten about all the dreams I had in the past. Frankly, I don’t enjoy my current life much.”


    Adrian smiled upon noticing that Mya was moved by what she saw. He understood that many people


    shared Mya’s thinking. Wyvern Peak was regarded as hope and aspiration, but that was only in the


    eyes of the outsiders.


    Every member of Wyvern Peak wanted to live a peaceful, boring life. However, they were duty–bound


    to do the right thing.


    “Tell me, what were your dreams?” Adrian realized that he never had a heart–to–heart talk with Mya


    before, and today was a rare moment of leisure time for them, so he asked her.


    Mya pouted and pondered, looking like a feminine woman. If anyone were to look at her now, they


    would not think she looked. the slightest bit a battle warrior. Instead, she looked like a gentle, soft–


    spoken woman.


    After a while, she said, “I enjoyed ying the piano back in university. I was very passionate about it at


    the time. I imagined that my Mr. Right would drive a luxurious car and marry me in the future. Thinking


    back, my dreams at the time were wonderful”


    “Are you Lacking a Mr. Right who drives a luxurious car in your life?” Adrian asked.


    “There are millions of men in this world, but there is only one Mr. Right for ine,” Mya stated inly.


    “Who’s your Mr. Right then?”


    “I won’t tell you.” Mya rolled her eyes.


    Adrian did not probe further but said, “Since that was your dream, why did you enlist in ACMC then?


    You’re also now at the age of retirement so you can choose to retire from service.”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Mya looked at Adrian and said, “You might not believe me if I tell you the truth. Frankly, I was nning


    on retiring this year, but I chose to stay because of you.”


    “Because of me?


    “That’s right,” Mya said, “The situation with Novemton’s Chase is so worrisome, and I can’t bear to see


    you go through these hardships alone. I want to help you in fight back. I had already made ns with a


    few best friends to go traveling after i retire.”


    “So ording to you, I owe you a favor.”


    “Good. You understand. I chose to stay because of you on multiple asions. In truth, when I enlisted


    in the academy at the


    time, I did it out of retaliation against my family. After I enlisted, I discovered that there are many things


    beyond my control”
