Salute To The General
Chapter 2201

Suddenly, Catherine's tall figure appeared in the doorway of the restaurant.

She was almost immediately surrounded by Simeon, a bunch of workers and some officials of Eagleland. Despite that, she walked into the restaurant casually.

She looked around and finally noticed Nathan.

Simeon was following Catherine's gaze and saw Nathan as well.

His heart fell with a loud thump. How could I have forgotten that the Chief Military Governor is in Channing? He was unnerved.

No wonder Catherine wanted to come to Channing. She's here for Nathan!

Simeon's expression twisted into one of concern and worry.

To him, it was likely that Eagleland wanted Catherine to carry out her interview in Eurasia because Nathan had offended Ariarica and Eagleland when he won the fight in Avenport. Those countries might be using that as an excuse to get Eurasia to punish Nathan.

Their previous protests hadn't worked out, so Eagleland had specially sent Catherine to Eurasia to get her interview and create trouble for Nathan.

Simeon was feeling more and more worried. He was starting to regret including Channing in the itinerary. All he could hope for was that Catherine and the other Eaglelanders wouldn't leave too much of a mess for him to deal with.

Easton Camden, the major-general of Eagleland, stood among the Eagleland officials standing behind Catherine. He narrowed his eyes and gave Nathan and Penny an unfriendly stare.

The workers still in the restaurant quickly rushed up to Simeon and explained in a low, scared voice, "Chief, these customers didn't want to leave. We'll chase them out immediately..." "How dare you? This is Nathan, the General!" Simeon said angrily.

The workers were taken aback.

Simeon walked toward Nathan and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, General. Hello, Mrs. Cross. What a coincidence! Did you enjoy your meal?"

Nathan smiled. "It's such a coincidence indeed."

Nathan glanced toward Catherine meaningfully while he spoke.

With a smile, Catherine said, "You are still looking good as ever, Mr. Cross."

Nathan stood up. "I was wondering which VIPs warranted the whole restaurant being cleared out for them. So it was you, Duchess Catherine." Catherine could hear Nathan's silent mockery in his tone but chose to ignore it as she looked at the two pretty women next to Nathan. “Mr.

Cross, how about you introduce us? Is this your wife?"

Penny looked at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Duchess in front of her and frowned slightly. Her instincts were telling her that this lady had certain intentions toward her husband.

Still, she didn't show what she was actually thinking and reached out a friendly hand. "Hello, Duchess Catherine. I'm Nathan's wife, Penny."

Catherine reached her hand out to shake Penny's. With an ambiguous smile, she said, "Nice to meet you. As expected, you're very beautiful."

The others looked at each other. They were aware that something was off, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Kylie was looking at Catherine coldly as well. This woman clearly has the hots for Nathan. Why'd she walk in like some mistress trying to claim her place? Nathan doesn't actually have something going on with her, right?

With that thought, Kylie was starting to look at Nathan a little weirdly.

Even Nathan could sense the strange atmosphere and said casually, "Mr. Carlton, Duchess Catherine, please carry on with whatever you came here for. We'll leave after our

meal, so don't worry about us."

Catherine was suddenly annoyed.

She had never felt any sort of attraction toward any particular man before but had taken an interest in Nathan since their encounter in Avenport.

At first, she wasn't the representative for this diplomatic visit.

However, she volunteered once she heard that Eagleland was coming to Eurasia.

She couldn't even give a reason as to why she wanted to come to Eurasia.

Maybe she just felt like seeing for herself how outstanding Nathan's wife had to be in order for Nathan to not even look her way.

Now that she was in Eurasia, she finally saw Nathan and his wife, Penny.

Penny was, as expected, extremely elegant and beautiful. She was a perfect match for Nathan.

Seeing that, she started to have regret coming to Eurasia.

Right as she was about to beckon Simeon to leave, Easton suddenly spoke. "You probably aren't aware, but we're here for you," he said coldly. "Did you think we came to Channing for a holiday or something?"

The crowd's expressions changed at the sound of that.

Simeon lamented inwardly. So these Eaglelanders are really here for Nathan.
