Salute to the General novel Chapter 125

Looking at Benson, Leah knew her husband didn't prepare a gift for her. She couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Truthfully, Leah wasn't expecting him to give her anything remarkable, but it had been such a long time since she received anything from her husband.

She would've been content even with a cheap bottle of perfume or a plain dress.

And yet, he didn't prepare anything for her.

Benson may have been an honest man, but he wasn't dumb. He could see the disappointment in his wife's eyes.

He regretted it so much that he wished he could magically conjure a present up for his wife.

Right then, Nathan, who was sitting next to him, discreetly handed him a small box under the table.

Benson felt surprised at first, which then morphed to exuberance.

What a thoughtful son-in-law! Nathan knew how absent-minded he was so he even helped him prepare a gift beforehand.

Benson shot him a look of gratitude, and carefully reached for the box.

He then looked at his wife with a big grin. "Hehe. Your present is here, my dear. I nearly forgot to give it to you!"

Leah's eyes sparkled. "What is it?" she asked excitedly.

Benson of course didn't know, so he feigned an air of mystery when giving the box to Leah. "Why don't you open it."

Leah opened the box and was shocked to find a ruby necklace placed inside.

The chain itself was platinum, whereas the ruby stone weighed around seventy carats.

Leah couldn't help but gasp in awe. "It's beautiful!”

She took out the necklace and looked at the ruby, it was immensely huge.
