Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 38

Herman’s mouth started to twitch. The general indeed would not miss any chance of having sex with Mrs. Snider.

Felix couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Lynch, we are going to be late if Matt doesn’t come out. The president and influential figures in the government and the army arranged tonight’s banquet just for him.”

Herman knew very well that because of Mrs. Snider, the general had argued with the president for many times, and there had been a small rift between them. This banquet was also held to give the general an out.

He signaled to Felix, “Based on the incredible stamina of the general, I’m afraid we’d have to wait till tomorrow. Knock on the door.”

“Why me again?”

Herman smiled slyly, “Then I’ll tell everyone your secret that you like Miss Tucker.”

Felix blushed, “No! No! I’ll knock the door, okay?”

To him, Lilian was just like a goddess, who can be appreciated from a distance but not be touched. More to the point, people from his background were not good enough for her. He always believed that he would lock this secret to himself for life.

Knocking on the door, he said through clenched teeth, “Mat, you better stop that now. The president called to hurry you.”

Bang! A weight smashed on the door. He immediately went silent, and slipped out.

Inside the bedroom, seeing the love bites on her neck, Winona glared at Matt, who had screwed to satiety, “I can't go out in public like this!”

Matt exclaimed proudly, “Who dares speak ill of my woman?”

She said in a fit of pique, “You are just like an insatiable wolf all day. I’ll be worn out by you sooner or later!”

He smiled as he held her in his arms, “Well, I’d like to be worn out by you and die like that.”

She clenched her small fists, pounding him on the chest on and on.

He smiled and kissed her hands, “Does it hurt? I do feel for you.”

She rolled her eyes at him. Of course it hurt, as he was quite muscular, and his body was as hard as a bastion of iron.

He took out a red sheer cape from the closet and tied it to her shoulder, “You're perfect the way you are. No other men can see you like this but me.”

Sliding his finger over her sexy collar bone, he gave a successful smile.

“Is this on purpose? You wretch!”

He kissed her on the lips gently, “You got it. This is your reward.”

Feeling a chill on her neck, she looked down and found a very delicate crystal necklace with a heart-shaped pendant at its center, which looked bright and luxurious.

“Remember, you are not allowed to take off the necklace at any time.”

“This isn't another tracker, is it?”

“Sweetie, it’s for your own safety, as anything could happen at the banquet.”

“Hum! Why don’t you say that you make too many enemies?”

“Do you regret marrying me?”

“Yes... But it's too late, you would not leave me alone.”

He smiled as he kissed her on her forehead, “Very wise of you.”

Matt changed into a black suit quickly. A man like him, who had a handsome face, nice body and long legs was just gifted with dimensions. The only difference was that he looked domineering and cool in his uniform, but gained more bewitching charm in this suit. He would definitely make women scream out.

A number of stylists began to perm hair and do make-up for Winona. An hour later, Winona presented herself with a long, wavy hair in public. She looked so elegant and charming that everyone was impressed by her beauty.

As Matt tapped himself on the arm, she held his arm and got into the car with him.

He whispered, “I am beginning to regret it now. You have to stay by my side at the banquet, don’t you?”

She dumbfounded, “Just forbid me to go out and lock me at home in future, so that only you can see me.”

“The suggestion is worthy of consideration.”

She started to get nervous at his seriousness, “Hey, Matt, I’m not your slut.”

He bent over, grazed his lips against her ears and whispered, “You are my slut. When I lifted my leg, you have to raise your buttock.”

Gritting her teeth, she said, “You're so crude!”

This guy was just a beast wearing human clothes. Even dressing up in a nice suit could not change his nature as a soldier and ruffian. But on the contrary, his handsome face, looking cool, charming and noble, made him such a sanctimonious man!

The banquet was arranged at the Ruri Palace in Bolwich, which was an ancient capital in the history of Coscana and remained thriving through centuries of vicissitudes. Ruri Palace was used as a main place for reception of foreign guests. But today it was used to hold a celebration banquet for Matt. Everyone was well aware of the honor and the political meaning it implied.

Ruri Palace looked splendid and brilliant in the light. The guards and bands, marching well outside the hall, added magnificence to the palace.

Holding Matt's arm, Winona slowly walked toward the crowd toasting to each other.

“Are you nervous?”

“What have I got to be nervous about? I stand with the most excellent general of Coscana that any other woman could wish for.”

With a hint of a smile on his lips, Matt guided her to the influential figures in the government and the army.

Their appearance caught everyone’s eyes, as the handsome man and pretty woman made them a perfect couple.

“Your girlfriend looked gorgeous tonight, General Snider.”

Matt corrected him seriously, “She's my wife, not my girlfriend.”

Everyone was stunned to hear that, then they quipped, “General Snider, you’d got married but haven’t sent your wedding invitations to us. That’s not really cool.”

“It was an emergency, everyone. Please forgive me. I’ll send the wedding invitations to your mansions in person.”

“Hahaha, then we’ll wait and see.”

Matt introduced Winona to people one by one. Each time he talked about her as his wife, his face lit up unknowingly.

When the president appeared in the hall, people gathered around.

Matt and Winona also came up to greet him.

A strange feeling flashed over the president’s mind as he saw Winona.

“Is she the woman that you selected?”

Holding her into his arms, Matt answered with proud, “Yes.”

“Well, she's very beautiful.”

He glanced at Winona, as if she were a vase. This made her very uncomfortable.

He picked up a glass of wine from the waiter and clinked glasses with Winona, “Hope I can drink at your wedding banquet.”

A tone of subtle satire and provocation entered into his voice.

Winona smiled, “Absolutely. You are still in your prime, my president. There's still a long way to go. You can definitely drink at our wedding banquet in your lifetime.”

A trace of hostility gathered on his brow but soon melted. He smiled brightly, “The woman you selected is interesting.”

Matt smiled as he clinked glasses with him, “She’s not in the officialdom. Please forgive her spontaneous words, president.”

The president smiled. The couple, one coaxes, the other coerces. What a wonderful show they performed!

“I have an important matter to discuss with you.”

Matt frowned slightly.

The president smiled, “What’s wrong? Are you loath to leave your wife?”

Touching the necklace on her neck, she winked at him and signaled him not to worry about her.

Then Matt left with the president.

Disliking the bustling surroundings, she found a quiet corner and sat down.

Just then, there came a clear female voice, “Winona, you will be quite lonely here. Come with us and play cards in the VIP room. We just need one more player.”
