Chapter 1184

"You’re so chubby now. Be careful that you can’t lose weight in the future," Adrian said as he looked at his daughter. Samantha stifled a laugh. "Zip it! What she has is baby fat. It should disappear when she grows up." Adrian smiled and showered Nova with love. Rue said, "All right, we should go home. I've prepared food for everyone." "Okay. Let’s get in the car, dear." Samantha lovingly held Adrian's arm. She looked at Gloria and Gracia. "Come with us." Gloria then brought Gracia into the car with them, and they all went home. As usual, Rue already had food prepared. Joanna was inside the villa, scrambling to set the table. She had become a lot more feminine than before, probably because of Samantha’s influence. Jonna had planned to move out of One Jewel Road but gave up after Samantha objected. The main reason she decided to stay was because she did not want Samantha to feel lonely. After all, Adrian was often away from home. Joanna had finished setting the table when the group arrived home. When she saw Adrian walking in, she said, "Oh, it's the greatest hero of all time! Welcome home!" She was wearing a short skirt with an apron over it. In hindsight, she looked no different from a typical housewife with a mature temperament. The usually naughty Joanna had undergone a huge change. "Long time no see, Jojo," Adrian replied. "A long time indeed. I was visiting my father overseas when you came home previously." "How's he doing?" "Pretty good overall." Joanna then proclaimed, "All right, everything is ready. Everyone, wash your hands, and let's eat!" Everyone sat down to a scrumptious and fragrant meal. They had a happy meal, filled with jokes and laughter. Gloria and the other women were so focused on their conversation that they completely ignored Adrian. More importantly, they were talking about a newly opened fashion shop in Swallowston. Adrian remained silent throughout their entire conversation and played with Nova, whose cute looks and giggles imprinted onto his mind. Samantha suddenly asked, "By the way, dear, you’ll be leaving again in two days?" Adrian nodded. "The legate selection is pretty rigorous, and I’m giving a speech to the candidates in two days. Gloria will be going with me. I'll bring you guys along to watch the finals." "How's Juno doing?" Rue asked. "Hmm? Hasn't she called recently?" Adrian asked in confusion. "She has. She says she'll be participating in the selection, so she's asked me for our family details, her passport, and whatnot. I was asking you about her legs…" Rue was still worried about Juno's legs since she had only recovered just a while back. Sensing this, Adrian said, "Don't worry, her legs are fine. In fact, she and the other girls are the ones to look out for during the selection."
