The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 700

They soon finished the table full of food like a sweeping tomado.

Eira put down her cutlery after she was done eating. She raised her head to look at Adrian and said, “We’re done, War Legate Draco. Where’s the surprise you mentioned?”

Adrian smiled, pulled out a serviette, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the food stains on Eira’s face. She was stunned for a moment and hastily shoved him away.

“Don’t even think about trying to manipulate me with your gentleness. I won’t fall for it.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Adrian smiled and said as he gestured at the door, “Eira, open your eyes wide and see who’s here.”

As his voice faded, all the women looked puzzled. It was at this exact moment that Mya entered the room with Joel, Megan, Wiley, and Dianne. The Snows walked into the room, and Megan began sizing up the numerous wonen. A few moments later, her gaze landed on Eira.

Megan was stunned, and so were Joel and Wiley. They widened their eyes in great effort to identify the woman.

Eira looked dazed when she spotted the people walking in. The next moment, she was stunned as countless memories from her past flooded her mind. They were familiar faces–aged–but still familiar all the same.

started tearing up too.

“Mo. Mother…” Eira muttered once again.

Megan hugged her tightly and bawled, “My poor daughter, I’ve finally found you. I’ve found you at last. Eira, I’ve let you down. It was my fault for not protecting you. It was all my fault!”

Eira felt as if time had stopped. All at once, feelings of bath strangeness and familiarity overwhelmed her. She would never forget how she was taken on her way back from school that dusk. It had already been twelve years since.

She was completely stunned.

Eira!” The sixty–year–old Joel was already crying profusely as well. He looked at his daughter as he tremblesd.

Even though it had been a long time, he had never forgotten how his daughter looked.

Eira raised her head which was buried in Megan’s arms and looked at Joel. She then called out softly, “Father…” “Yes, it’s me!” Joel’s body shook
