Cole still had his eyes closed. “Indeed. During lunch today, General Morrison stared at the chicken leg


    on his te for a very, very long time. In the end, he didn’t eat a single bite.”


    Lucas was bewildered. “General Morrison isn’t the type to waste food.


    Cole nodded. “You’re right. He gave it to me.”


    The memory of it still made his mouth water.


    Lucas leaned closer to Cole and said in a hushed tone, “How about I go to Phoenicia and bring Madam


    back?”


    “Forget it. Have you ever seen a newlywed couple go without meeting calling, or texting each other for


    ten days? They probably don’t have feelings for each other,” Cole mumbled.


    Lucas nervously nced at the door to make sure no one was around and whispered, “Cole, let me tell


    you something.”


    Cole was swept along by Lucas’ nervousness and quickly opened his eyes. He leaned closer. “What is


    it?”


    “The letter that Madam left for General Morrison was thrown into the


    trash can on the first day,” Lucas whispered.


    “As expected.” Cole cocked a brow.


    “I found that letter in his drawer yesterday.” Lucas grinned.


    Cole widened his eyes in shock while Lucas nodded excitedly.

    The two exchanged nces and immediately concluded. Something was up with Nathan.

    Cole suddenly remembered something and eximed, “Didn’t General Morrison’s aunt send him an


    invitation yesterday? Should we notify General Morrison?”


    Lucas frowned. “Do you have a death wish? General Morrison made it clear that any invitations from


    that aunt should be rejected


    immediately.”


    Cole kicked Lucas. “Are you stupid? With an excuse to go back to Phoenicia, maybe General Morrison


    will attend it this time.”


    Lucas widened his eyes at the revtion.


    The two hurriedly got up and went to the office.


    They knocked on the door and entered.


    Nathan stood in front of therge window, silently gazing at the night scene outside. His broad back


    appeared especially deste.


    “General Morrison,” both of them greeted in unison.


    Nathan, with his back still to them, spoke in a low tone, “Go back and


    rest.”


    Lucas nodded. “Yes, General Morrison.”


    Cole shot the coward a re. “General Morrison, your aunt…”


    Nathan immediately interrupted him sternly, “Don’t bring her up in front of me.”


    The two swallowed nervously at this


    Nathan’s aunt was an incredibly annoying person. Nathan avoided her at all costs, and a mere mention


    of her name was enough to give him. a headache.


    Cole mustered up the courage and continued, “Your aunt is returning from her tour and will be hosting


    a grand banquet the day after


    tomorrow. She hopes you will drop by.”


    Lucas grew nervous for Cole. They might get scolded again.


    Nathan fell silent.


    He stared in the direction of Phoenicia. Were the stars there as bright as they were here? Suzanne


    should be asleep by now, right?


    Lucas and Cole exchanged a knowing look. This was the first time Nathan didn’t throw a fit over his


    annoying aunt.


    At the Morrison Residence.


    “Come here, Suzanne, I have something to tell you,” Florence called.


    Suzanne quickly put down the book in her hand and walked out of the study. She took a seat on the


    couch in the living room.


    “What’s the matter, Mom?” asked Suzanne.


    Florence observed Suzanne closely. Over time, she realized that Suzanne was a gentle and soft-


    spoken woman. She was someone who was easily bullied.


    Florence couldn’t help but worry for her. “Suzanne, Nate’s aunt will be home tomorrow. Remember, you


    have to keep your cool no matter what she says. Don’t cross her.”


    Suzanne was puzzled by this. “Who exactly is she? Why is everyone scared of her?”
