Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1260

Upon hearing his words, the Smiths were confused.

Sean could not help but say, "Snyder, you're making me confused. As family friends, aren't we already close enough? How else are you going to make us closer?”

Gideon chuckled, "That's not enough. We're not close enough yet. We have to be one family."

One family!

Nathan, Penny, and the rest of the Smiths were dumbfounded.

Gideon smiled as he looked at the doll-like Queenie in Nathan's arms before beckoning a boy behind him over. "Come here, Huxley.”

Everyone turned and landed their gazes on the teenage boy.

The boy was Huxley Snyder, and he was one of Gideon's grandsons.

As Huxley's parents were close relatives, Huxley was born with an intellectual disability. Right now, he was drooling and playing with a toy duck.

Gideon called out his name repeatedly several times, but it was as if Huxley heard nothing as he continued to play with his toy as he drooled.

Feeling awkward, Gideon cleared his throat before saying to Nathan and Penny, "This is my grandson, Huxley. He's always been an honest boy. I know the two of you have a daughter, so I was thinking of engaging my grandson with your daughter. After the engagement, our family will become one. We'll expand our influence and become stronger together."

What?

The expression on Nathan and his family changed, and so were Sean and the rest.

It was common for wealthy families to have arranged marriages for a union.

It was even more common for arranged marriages to be set even before the children were born.

However, Huxley was a teenage boy who did not know how to even greet his parents. All he could do was drool.

They could not believe that Gideon was trying to engage this grandson of his to Queenie.
