Female Novel
Chapter 1742
Soan, the trio reached the headquarter of Cross Group.Along with Ava, Penny walked out of the entrance of the building and frowned when she saw Nathan by Penny and Kylie's sides.The moment she saw the crdinary-locking face of Bay, she returned to her usual self.
Truth be told, she too, thought Bay was Nathan, but she knew she must have gotten the wrong person when she caught a glimpse of Bay's facialfeatures.
She initiated a conversation courteously, expressing her gratitude, "You must be Bay, who has been sent by my husband to protect us, aren't you?Thank you sc much for saving my cousin and my daughter!Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Mrs. Cross, that won't be necessary because I'm merely carrying out my duty as your bodyguard.”
When Ava saw Nathan, she couldn't move her eyes away from the man in front of her. In the end, she queried in a dead-pan voice, “Althoughsomething about you feels awfully familiar, I don't recall seeing you around! Which troop do you belong to?
Nathan was at a loss for words because of these women's horrifying hunchWhenever they encountered him, they could tell something about him wasn't right and would get suspicious.He could easily brush others off with a random excuse he made up. But not Ava—she was different.
Just like Colin, Ava was affiliated with the North Army, who had been handpicked by Nathan to join the battalion. She was one of the elites amongstthe best.
As a matter of fact, she used to be the Captain of the National Guard for the General of the North
In short, if Nathan failed to exercise caution whenever he was by her side, she could easily see right through his disguise.
Nathan put on a calm front and replied to Ava's query, “Ma'am, I'm a member of the National Guards, in charge of the General's safety!However, it has only been a little more than two years since I was recruited to join the team!
Although you have never seen me, I have always heard about you, Ma'am!
Bay is a member of the National Guard? If that's the case, everything makes sense because I'm no longer the Captain of the National Guard sincethree years ago when I left the North
Although Ava was persuaded by Nathan's reply, she narrowed her eyes to a slit because she still had her doubts.When she was about to direct another question at him, Penny whispered and queried, "Ava, is there anything wrong with Bay?
Ava was at a loss for words because of Penny's question. She couldn't be sure of the things that were wrong, but she knew something wasn't rightabout Bay.
In other words, she didn't have any solid evidence to back her suspicions. It was merely a gut feeling behind it.With that being said, Ava couldn't possibly share her concerns with Penny and told her she couldn't be sure if her hunches were right.Thus, she shook her head and assured Penny, "Mrs. Cross, nothing's wrong. I'm merely carrying out my routine verification process.”
Penny heaved a sigh of relief when Ava assured her everything was fine.
She smiled and greeted Kylie andQueenie, "Since Dad and Mom areaway to attend someone's wedding.banquet{dhey won't be joining us.fordinner-fonight. I don't think I'l hecooking tonight. Let's drop byCloudPatace and have our meal theretsRight.” Content belongs.toNovelDrama.Org
Kylie and Queenie nodded in agreement.
With that, they boarded another multi-purpose vehicle and made their way to Cloud Palace. As usual, Nathan was given the task of driving the ladiesto their location.
Soan, they reached The Pinnacle of Channing.When the ladies alighted from the car, Ava ensured she was the last to take off.When the rest of the party made their way ahead of her and Nathan, Ava warned Nathan with a quiet voice, “You better watch out!”
Nathan stared at Ava with a confused look and asked, "What's wrong?”
