Salute To The General

Chapter 1361 Back To The North

That day, Penny and Nathan held their wedding in the presence of countless family members andfriends.

Guests from all over the country started streaming into the venue.

Many soldiers from The North, South, East, West and Capital Garrisons had turned up as well.

After the wedding ceremony commenced, Penny and Nathan put on the costumes they hadprepared for this segment and went around toasting every table.

As Penny couldn't really hold her liquor that well, Nathan helped with her share.

In the end, even Nathan, who seldom got drunk, had so much to drink that he was completelyintoxicated.

After Penny helped Nathan back into the bridal chamber, she closed the door behind them and adeafening silence immediately fell over the room. She was alone with Nathan.

She then cautiously helped him to some tea before wiping away his sweat with a piece of cloth.

"Why did you drink so much?" she chided gently, "Just look at how drunk you are."

Nathan, however, opened his eyes and grinned, "It's our wedding day. I was in the mood."

"What's more, the guests today are either friends and family or the higher-ups in the military. Wehave to show them respect."

Looking as dainty as a fairy, Penny said coquettishly, "That's still no reason to get so drunk!"

Gazing at his beautiful wife, Nathan suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'm fine,"he insisted, "That amount of alcohol isn't going to stop me on our wedding night."

Penny's face immediately flushed a crimson red. "Darling..." she protested embarrassedly.novelbin

But before she could even finish, Nathan lowered his head and planted his lips on hers.

She hastily tried to smack him to his senses but to no avail. In the end, she gave in and slowlycircled her hands around his neck as she reciprocated the kiss.

Soon, Nathan's hands began reaching for the zip on her wedding dress...

A jolt went through her body as Penny came back to her senses. "Darling," she said in a tremblingvoice, "You've been drinking. Doing it after that increases the chances of conceiving a deformedbaby...”

"It's fine,” Nathan smiled, "I saw them slip a few condoms in the drawer."

Upon hearing this, Penny became so embarrassed that she hastily switched off the lights.

Not long after the room had been plunged into darkness, a sensuous moaning broke the silence...

It was quite a while before the frenzy came to an end!

Hugging her tightly, Nathan asked, "Darling, do you think that our wedding was slightly rushed?"

"No," Penny replied gently, "I think it was great.”

"Well actually, several things have cropped up lately," Nathan explained, "Our wedding would havebeen much more perfect if we had been able to push the date back farther."

"Alas, I'm going to head off the North soon. And this time, I'm not sure how long it's going to bebefore I can come back. Thus, I didn't want to leave any regrets and neither did I want to keep youwaiting. That was why I arranged for the wedding to carry on as planned."

Taken aback, Penny hastily asked, "Darling, you're going back to the North?”

Nathan nodded his head. "That's right. A lot of things have been happening behind the sceneslately. As the General of the North, I have to go back and deal with what's happened."

Penny tightened her embrace around him. "When will you leave?"

"Tomorrow!" Nathan answered.

What?

We just got married today and you'd planned to head off to the battlefront up North tomorrow?

Penny couldn't bear to leave his side.

All of a sudden, she deeply regretted getting so caught up with her work to the point that she hadmissed out on so much time she could have spent together with him.

As her arms tightened around him, Nathan could sense how unwilling she was to leave his side.

"This is the life of a soldier," he explained softly, "We get called back the moment

anything happens."

"I'm so sorry for bringing this upon you...”

Before he could even finish, however, Penny quickly covered his mouth with her hands.

"No, don't feel sorry,” she said, "On the contrary, I'm really proud of you."

Grasping her hands, Nathan promised, "Give me three years. After things have settled down in theNorth, I'll retire to spend my days with you."

"Once I've served my country, I'm all yours."

"The baby and I will be counting down the days till you do," Penny replied firmly, "No matter howlong it takes."
