Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3116

Meanwhile, in Channing of southern Eurasia, Nathan was accompanying Penny in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

Colin and Ava, on the other hand, made sure to stand a respectful distance away.

Nathan and Penny happily chatted about everything under the sun, from their daughter's studies to their goddaughter, Maisy Woods.

“When we visited the West a few days ago, Mrs. Woods promised to consider sending Maisy back to live in Brimmopolis. I wonder if she has made her decision...” Nathan piped up.

Upon hearing that, Penny chuckled. “Well, Mrs. Woods called me yesterday.”

“Oh? What did you two talk about?”

“She said she and Maisy aren't suited for life in Brimmopolis. However, she agrees that the schools and quality of education in the West can't be compared to what's available in the South. Therefore, she has decided to bring Maisy to Channing for school.”

“Really?” Nathan exclaimed gleefully.

“Of course! Besides, the two of them had already set off last night and should be arriving in Channing today. I'm waiting for Mrs. Woods' call so I can send someone to pick them up from the airport.”

By then, Nathan could no longer sit still. “What? Why didn't you tell me anything about them coming to Channing? It's such a big deal!”

“Hey, I'm not to blame for that,” Penny replied smilingly. “Maisy was the one who told me to keep it a secret because she wanted to surprise you.”

“Oh, that rascal...” Nathan muttered, not knowing how to react.

“Ava!” he turned and called out.

Without further ado, Ava strode toward him. “How may I be of assistance, Mr. Cross?”

“I want you to check which flight Mrs. Woods and Maisy are on. Once you have the information, drive to the airport to pick them up.”

“Yes, Mr. Cross!” Ava answered. “That said, don't you want to come along to pick Ms. Maisy up?”

Nathan instantly broke into a smile. “That rascal wants to surprise me, so I can only pretend I know nothing about her arrival.”

“You and Ms. Maisy sure know how to make each other happy,” Ava said while stifling a laugh.

“Haha. You'd better get going now.”

“Got it!”

Sometime later, Paisley and Maisy walked out of Channing airport with a bodyguard in tow.

The exit was swarming with people waiting to pick up their friends and family, with some even holding up name signs for easier recognition.

Eagle-eyed as always, it didn't take long before Maisy spotted the Lincoln limousine parked among the many cars by the road.

A foreign woman with pretty blue eyes and blond hair stood beside the Lincoln, shouting in fluent Eurasian as she held up a sign, “Ms. Maisy! Are you here, Ms. Maisy?”

“Look, Mommy! Aunt Penny must've sent that lady to pick us up!” Maisy exclaimed.
