Salute To The General

That afternoon, Nathan, accompanied by Adolf, headed to the factory to offer his condolences.

He visited those that were injured and hospitalized because of the attack. Then, he also instructed the relevant departments to provide compensation to those bereaved families.

Apart from that, he and Adolf appeared before the camera to condemn the terrorist act.

Adolf was tactful with his words. As he spoke against terrorist acts and their serious consequences, he did not mention that Ariarica was the one behind the incident.

On the contrary, Nathan could not care less. He bluntly stated that a person from Ariarica was responsible for the attack and criticized their actions. Soon, major international news outlets began to catch hold of what Nathan and Adolf had said.

As a result, Ariarica faced much criticism from peace-loving antiterrorism organizations. They also received negative comments from people from all walks of life.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It caused them to lose much respect.

Ariarica's president, Bryon, had to phone Max himself.

He rarely got angry. However, he scolded Max loudly over the phone for how unprofessional he was at handling the matter. He even told Max that he had embarrassed the nation and his fellow citizens.

On top of that, Max's superiors also lashed out at him.

In response, Max could only remain silent and endure hearing those harsh words. Nheless, he had no plans of repenting. Instead, he hated

Nathan even more.

The next day, Nathan's visit to Valmora had ended. Adolf and his men sent Nathan and his subordinates off warmly to take the airplane back to Eurasia.

Nathan's visit to Valmora this time had helped the country to settle their urgent needs and had protected Cross Group's factory from suffering heavy losses. All in all, it was a relatively successful visit.

When Nathan returned to Eurasia, he did not head straight to Brimmopolis. Instead, he stopped by the South to go home and visit his family. While Nathan was away, Penny could not help but worry about him.

Seeing him return safely, she felt her heart burst with joy, and she offered to whip up some of his favorite home cook dishes.

Coincidentally, it was the weekend. When it was time for dinner, Sofie also returned from school.

Thus, the whole family was able to sit down and have a happy meal together.

During dinner, Penny kept filling Nathan's bowl with food.

Nathan raised his brows whenever Penny did it. On one occasion, their eyes met, and they started laughing together. Everyone could tell how in love they were.

Initially, Kylie and Sofie had been fighting with each other.

They each had a secret crush on Nathan and were aware of each other's feelings. Therefore, they could not see eye to eye on many things, and animosity grew between them.

Yet, when they noticed how in love Nathan and Penny acted, a sense of sadness filled their hearts. They realized then that they would never stand a chance with Nathan.

They would have to die trying.

With that realization, Kylie and Sofie grew disappointed. They were also no longer interested in competing with each other and only felt heartbroken.

That night, after Nathan showered, he headed back to the bedroom.

Since Penny had been busy with

work recently, she often slept late

As a result, Queenie had been

n

sleeping with Kylie during that period. At the moment, Penny was

the only person in the bedroom.

Dressed in a white nightgown, she sat in bed with her back against the pillow, flipping through a magazine.

When she spotted Nathan, her face turned red.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Nathan chuckled.

In a gentle tone, Penny murmured, "I was waiting for you."

Love filled his heart as Nathan studied his wife's face up close.

His intense gaze made Penny squirm, and her face turned a darker shade of red. "Why are you staring at me like that? We have been together for so long now. Haven't you seen enough of my face?"

Hearing her response, Nathan moved closer to her and teased, "It will never be enough for me. Besides, I haven't seen you the past few days, and I miss you."

Looking at Nathan's handsome features edging closer, Penny felt her blush spreading to her neck.

Embarrassed, she closed her eyes.

At the same time, Nathan found

himself staring at his wife's red lips. Grinning, he bent down to give her a Surprised, Penny moaned, and she subconsciously lifted her arms to hook them around Nathan's neck. The couple deepened the kiss.

Even the moon outside seemed embarrassed to watch the couple's steamy night as it slowly hid behind the clouds.
