Salute to the General novel Chapter 69

With a slightly blushed face and an embarrassed tone, she told Nathan, "Why don't you sleep in the master bedroom with us tonight? Queenie can sleep in the middle and we can sleep on each side of the bed. Remember not to cross the boundary, or else...”

Penny was a stubborn and capable woman, and it was rare for Nathan to see this awkward and embarrassed side of her. Instantly, he asked in jest, "Or what?"

Penny widened her eyes and stared at Nathan. As she noticed his mischievous look, she huffed, "If you cross the boundary, I will kick you off the bed!"

In fact, while Penny was rather embarrassed at this, she still trusted him.

If Nathan wanted to touch her, he would have done so when he slept on the mattress back at Asiatic Village. He did not need to wait until today.

Very quickly, they settled down, switched off the lights, and headed to bed.

Queenie slept in the middle with Nathan and Penny on each of her sides.

While Penny normally suffered from insomnia, she drifted to dreamland unexpectedly quickly today with Nathan beside her.

Nathan slept soundly too. Amidst his drowsiness, he felt a head resting on his chest and a pair of hands around his neck.

He thought that it was his daughter and continued to sleep.

The next morning, Nathan woke up the moment the first ray of sunlight had shone into the room.

As his eyes fluttered open, he realized in shock that the woman in his chest was Penny Smith, not his daughter.

She was sound asleep like a little kitten in his arms.

As for Queenie, she was at the end of the bed, snoring loudly with her limbs spread out.

What was going on?

Did Penny turn over and cuddle him while she was asleep?

Just as Nathan laid in shock, he suddenly saw Penny's eyes flutter.

She was about to wake up.

To prevent things from getting awkward, Nathan quickly shut his eyes, while pretending to be asleep.

Shortly after, Penny stirred in his arms. She was obviously awake.
