Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 24

Matt grabbed the person by the wrist and threw them over his shoulder with just a little force.

“Ugh… Matt, that hurts…”

Lilian let out a grunt as she lay on the ground in embarrassment. She seemed to be on the verge of tears as she bit her lips, showing a pitiful look.

Matt gave her a hand and helped her up. With a frown, he said, “What are you doing here?”

She gently massaged her aching wrists and replied softly, “You’ve been back for so long, but you haven’t even once visited me. Am I not allowed to visit you now?”

Matt went on to button up his shirt and answered, “I will bring Winona along to pay a visit to my mentor another day.”

Lilian tried to cover up her increasingly bitter expression and stepped forward in an attempt to straighten his collar, but was immediately pushed away by Matt.

“Lilian, I’m a married man.”

Lilian wondered if this was a reminder for her to keep a distance between them in the future. She could still clearly remember the day when her father brought her the news of Matt getting married. It felt as though a needle had pierced through the heart. Now that she had confirmed the news from the man himself, the wound in her heart was cut deeper than before.

She had someone run a background check on that woman before. In her view, the woman wasn’t exceptionally pretty but was at most just a woman with refreshing looks. She didn’t think she was less gorgeous-looking that the woman. Moreover, her father was Matt’s mentor as well as a helpful aide in the political scene. So why would he choose that woman over her when she was the one who had loved him for over ten years?

Suddenly, a tearing sound was heard. Lilian had ripped off her clothes in front of Matt, revealing her fair and soft skin.

“I love you, Matt.”

Her mother had always told her to be reserved, especially towards men. She was taught to arouse men’s desire yet be constrained at the same time to further set off their burning hunger for her. But she was wrong, and she regretted her decision before. If she had been a little more aggressive in her actions, perhaps Matt would not be deluded by that scheming bitch.

Swoosh! Matt immediately grabbed the bedsheet beside him and wrapped her around with it while berating her angrily, “Stop your nonsense!”

Lilian looked at him with tears rolling in her eyes and sobbed uncontrollably, “Matt, do you not know how much I love you? What is so good about that woman that you had to marry her?”

“Lilian, I have always treated you as my sister. Even if you strip yourself naked in front of me, I will not feel anything.”

There were only two women who had a special place in his heart; one was his mother and the other was Winona. No one else could ever evoke his emotions.

Matt then raised his voice, “Mr. Lynch, the next time you let any random people into my office, I’ll see through your resignation in an instant!”

Herman felt chills running down his spine when he heard Matt’s words. He supposed that Ms. Lilian Tucker must have done something absurd to anger the general.

Not sparing the lady in the room another glance, Matt walked out of the room hastily.

“Get a set of women’s clothing for her at once.”

Herman felt an urge to gossip and was about to ask what had happened when Matt threw an icy glare towards him, “Do you think I’m a playboy who messes around with anyone?”

Forcing out a smile, Herman thought, “Hmm, he would only mess around with Mrs. Snider anyway. And when he does, he would go on berserk mode.”

When Winona reached home, she was a tad surprised to find the dress that Karen had prepared for her.

“The general has ordered me to fetch this from the boutique.”

Winona reached for the white dress and put it on. She stood in front of the mirror to check herself out. The dress size was perfect and the dress exuded elegance and style, bringing out her fair and appealing skin. In that dress, she looked as graceful as a swan. She must admit that Matt had a unique sense of taste.
