Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 898

Capítulo 898: Girls’ Chat (4)

Claire hadn’t had her marriage ceremony yet, but she said that it would be soon.

Amelia also stated that she might get married soon if it was possible. Of course, whether she would do it or not was another matter altogether.

After all, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones might not necessarily agreed for her to get married so quickly. They did approve the two people’s relationship, but who knows whether they could accept their children get married so quickly.

‘Uhm, it seemed that I also need to get married and have a marriage ceremony with Samuel later.’

Riya couldn’t help but smile slightly when she thought about Samuel.

She never thought too much about having a relationship before. But after having one, Riya felt that it was really good.

Because she could stay with Samuel almost all the time and no one would say anything.

Moreover, the two of them worked together very well when they were exploring the crack in the future.

But at the same time, the two of them knew that each other have dreams and goals that they wanted to achieve. They could not be together all the time and both sides accepted it.

Besides, what they wanted was never to stand behind the other party.

But to stand side by side.

To fight together.

“Riya, why are you smiling so gently?” Claire was stunned when she saw the expression on Riya’s face.

This was basically the first time Claire ever see such an expression on Riya’s face.

After all, Riya was never in a relationship before and with the stress of her study, future, and her family’s matters, it was hard for Riya to be a cheerful person. She had to study and work hard in order to make sure that she could survive.

Her family often made trouble for her too and this was something that all of them knew.

But it was not good to come and interfere in other people’s family affairs, so the others never actually talked about it in front of Riya.

They still maintained the sense of privacy and so on.

However, Claire knew very well that it was rare to see such relaxed and gentle expression on Riya’s face.

Because aside from them, Riya didn’t really have any other friends.

As for family?

Heh, those people could just be thrown away to the sea as fast as possible to feed the fishes.

It’s not worth it to keep those people around.

So Claire was surprised when she saw the expression on Riya’s face.

Who could actually make Riya show such expression?

Amelia?

Claire highly doubted that the troublemaker girl will change her ways and from the way Amelia had just provoked Riya again, it seemed unlikely.

…Wait.

Claire looked at the chat group name that Amelia had just changed.

One married, two engaged, and two single pretty girls chat group

One married is her since she’s the one who changed it in the beginning and her relationship with Leon was indeed very close.

Two engaged…

One of them is Amelia since she had stated her relationship with Arnold.

So the other one…

Claire looked at Riya and swallowed her saliva.

“No way.”

“Ah?” Riya woke up from her daydream and saw the expression on Claire’s face. She was stunned for a moment before smiling helplessly.

Considering that Amelia had already written “One married, two engaged, and two single pretty girls chat group” as their group’s name, Riya knew very well that it would be impossible for her to hide the truth from her friends.

“The other one who has a boyfriend is me.” Riya rubbed her cheek helplessly.

Claire looked at Riya and then rushed over without hesitation. She grabbed Riya’s shoulder and then asked, “Who is it? Who dared to approach you when you’re so powerful like this?”

Riya: “…”

She slapped Claire’s hand away speechlessly. “What’s wrong with me being in a relationship? Don’t speak as if I’m some kind of monster or anything like that.”

Riya felt that Claire was exaggerating.

There was no problem at all with her having a relationship, alright!

It’s not like Riya made a vow that she would be single for her entire life!

Seeing the expression on Riya’s face, Claire realized that she had misspoken. “Ahem, it’s not like that. I’m just surprised.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re a returnee and generally speaking… the returnees’ partner will be strictly screened.” Claire really didn’t want to recall the intense screening that she had to face after she found out that Leon is actually a returnee.

After all, Leon originally had no plan of exposing himself to others.

He was busy with making weapons and living his own life. A leisure life in the midst of the storm and Leon didn’t want to care about the outside world too much.

He knew very well that his ability was not as strong as the other returnees.

Since there were already so many people who stepped forward, the world was definitely not lacking him.

Only when the crack appeared on the island did Leon realize that it’s impossible.

He had to step up and fight.

Unless he could bear to watch as everything around him be destroyed until nothing was left. He himself might also need to leave for he wouldn’t be able to stay on this island anymore.

In the end, Leon couldn’t do it.

And because Leon exposed himself, the continent started to investigate everything about him, including his relationship with Claire.

… Claire didn’t want to recall those days.

In short: they didn’t approve of this relationship because they hoped that Leon could pick someone from Continent X instead of picking Continent Z’s woman.

Unfortunately, Leon himself was also extremely stubborn and didn’t want them to influence his personal life.

In this way, Claire could retain her status.

But whenever she thought about the pain of having her entire life being investigated by others, she couldn’t help but feel a tingling feeling in her brain. If possible, she didn’t want to experience such a thing in her entire life again.
