Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3381

Hepburn just returned to the banquet hall when Eugene IV approached her, accompanied by two bodyguards.

She quickly bowed. “Greetings, Pope Eugene.”

Eugene IV nodded slightly before casually asking, “Have you seen Mr. Cross?”

Upon hearing this, Hepburn was taken aback. A faint blush of embarrassment tinted her cheeks momentarily. However, she maintained a composed demeanor and replied, “I encountered him smoking in the hallway earlier. We exchanged a brief conversation and bid each other farewell.”

Eugene IV nodded. “Okay, you may leave now.”

Hepburn gave a slight bow and made to leave.

However, Eugene IV suddenly called out to her, “Wait a moment.”

Confused, Hepburn looked at Eugene IV.

Eugene IV casually asked, “You've been spending a lot of time with Mr. Cross recently, haven't you?”

Hepburn's flustered thoughts raced as she considered the possibility that Eugene IV had somehow discovered her affection for Nathan. She wondered if the pope intended to caution her and advise her to maintain a distance from him.

She was just about to explain when Eugene IV continued, “Have you noticed anything unusual about him? For example, any abnormal behavior?”

Taken aback once again, Hepburn responded instinctively, “No, not at all! Mr. Cross always conducts himself with grace and composure. He is truly admirable. Is there something amiss, Pope Eugene?”

Upon hearing that Nathan had not exhibited any unusual behavior, Eugene IV was slightly disappointed. He waved his hand and said, “It's nothing. I was just asking casually. You may leave now.”

Although a multitude of questions swirled within Hepburn's heart, she hesitated to ask further, sensing that the man before her was unwilling to divulge any more information. With a respectful tone, she simply replied, “Yes.”

Eugene IV, accompanied by his two subordinates, left the hall and headed toward the corridor outside.

As expected, Nathan was sitting on the bench, smoking alone.

The light cast a slanted glow on Nathan, illuminating his handsome face in a mix of light and shadow, making him appear both mysterious and charismatic.
