Salute to the General novel Chapter 1749

Fortunately for Nathan, the music ended at that moment.

The dancing crowd ceased and separated, either changing their dance partners or having decided to stop dancing.

Right then, Nathan took the opportunity to say, “That's one dance.”

With that said, he separated from Kylie.

Although Kylie was confused, she was a woman at the end of the day; the men had been the ones inviting the woman, and she had been the one to invite Nathan to dance earlier. In other words, she could not possibly cling to Nathan and insist on another dance.

Hence, she had to split with Nathan. As she walked away from the dance floor, she mumbled under her breath, “That's strange. Why do I keep thinking he's Nathan.”

However, her soft words were heard by Ava, who was furrowing her brows as she stared at Nathan.

Ava had already sensed something amiss with Bay. Firstly, she had never heard of someone named Bay in the army. Yet, he was surely someone powerful with how he had defeated Helge and Germund so easily.

Secondly, Bay always stood in a corner, quietly watching Penny with eyes of adoration.

That was why he seemed fishy to her.

In fact, she even called Colin earlier, asking about Bay's background and hinting to him that Bay was not suitable to protect Penny.

However, Colin's attitude rendered her speechless—he told her there would be no issues with Bay, and he even asked her not to overthink it.

Ava sighed at that response.

The more she thought about the ordinarylooking Bay, the more she wanted to sigh. Who is he really? Why is Colin so reassured with him as Penny's bodyguard?

That was the exact moment she heard Kylie's mumbles to herself.

Upon hearing that, she snapped her head in Nathan's direction as suspicion rose in her heart.

Nathan had just walked out of the dance floor when a slim figure abruptly appeared in front of him before he could even sigh in relief.

It was Ava.

With narrowed eyes, Ava calmly queried, “Bay, you won't mind having a dance with me, will you?”

You too?

Nathan shook his head. “I don't actually like dancing. Ma'am, please invite someone else to dance with you.”
