Salute to the General novel Chapter 2628

Paisley rolled her eyes. “I'm your wife. I sleep in the same bed as you every night. How can I not know what you think? Still, there's something I don't understand.”

On normal days, Garrett didn't like talking about politics with his wife, but he was in the mood for it that night. So, instead of reprimanding her for being a busybody, he asked curiously, “What is it that you don't understand?”

He knows who's playing tricks and who's trying to take advantage of a situation for their own benefit. It's obvious that Erwin and Zion have been desperately trying to gain more supporters so they can become the next president. They've even tried to pull a bunch of tricks in secret, which indirectly pissed Garrett off.
