Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 857

It was slightly past nine when Nathan had arrived home.

Penny greeted him at the door and discovered him reeking of alcohol. She frowned and complained, "What were you up to? You were gone for the entire day!"

Nathan replied, "Well, I had some matters to take care of."

Penny did not prod further into the matter as she asked solicitously, "Have you had dinner yet? I'm reheating some food for you in the kitchen!"

"I've eaten at my teacher's birthday banquet earlier," Nathan explained, as a faint warmth and fuzzy feeling filled his heart.

There was no sight of their daughter, Benson, Leah, and Kylie so Nathan asked curiously, "Where is everyone?"

Penny answered, "They took the kids to the supermarket.” "Okay, then I shall go and take a bath first," Nathan announced.

"I will get the tub ready for you,” Penny stated gently.

That was Penny... An elegant female CEO at work, and a virtuous wife at home.

She had gotten the tub ready for Nathan to enjoy a hot bath. After changing, she soon prepared a pot of tea for Nathan to unwind.

He sat on the sofa and was surprised to see the fruit platter and a pot of freshly brewed tea on the coffee table, "Penny, what's the occasion?"

Penny poured a small cup of tea for Nathan courteously and then smiled as she responded, "Well, I happen to have extra time today and I'd wanted to go over some matters with you."

Nathan took a sip and then looked at her with anticipation, "You're making me rather curious. What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

"Actually, there's something that I've been keeping from you for some time now," Penny replied, carefully.
