Hailing from a prestigious family, Paisley was learned and humble and was a helpful aide to her husband.
Nathan, on the other hand, was a general who commanded three hundred thousand soldiers in the North and was known as the God of War.
In other words, Nathan had a voice and influence no less than that of her husband who worked in the cabinet.
She invited Nathan to her house because she wanted to thank him as well as create an opportunity for her husband to befriend Nathan.
In short, she was a good wife who was always helping her husband and the family.
Nathan was a little hesitant upon Paisley's invitation. He said, “Thanks for the invitation, Mrs. Woods, but I came here for groceries because I'm going to cook at the hospital's kitchen for my wife, who's currently a patient there...”
Paisley immediately replied with a smile, “You're such a good husband, General! The kitchen in the inpatient department of the hospital is crowded and many patients’ family members take turns using it, so it's inconvenient for cooking. Why don't you come to my house and cook in our kitchen instead?”
Nathan knew that it would be inappropriate for him to turn her down again, so he agreed with a smile. “Alright then. I hope I won't cause you too much trouble.”
“Of course not! My husband will be over the moon when he sees you,” Paisley replied cheerfully.
Soon, Nathan followed Paisley and Maisy to their house with the groceries he bought.
Nathan had long heard that Garrett lived an extremely simple and ordinary life.
Seeing that Paisley and her daughter had gone grocery shopping today without bodyguards, he thought that the rumors were true—Garrett and his family led a humble lifestyle.
Despite working in Brimmopolis, Garrett was not from Brimmopolis, so they lived in the accommodation reserved for the families of cabinet members.
Upon arrival, Nathan followed Paisley and Maisy into the living room.
