The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 44

"Yeah mom, where did the money come from?" Xena ran over and endearingly called Fiona "mom".

Fiona was stunned for a moment before looking excited. "Girl, what did you call me? Didn’t you call me Aunty before this?"

Xena became shy and said in embarrassment, "Aunty, I'm sorry. I've been wanting to call you 'mom' for some time, but I was never brave enough to do so. I accidentally did what I've been wanting to do just now!"

"Hey, that's great, girl. You should call me 'mom' and not 'aunty' then. Your dad and I like you, so just call m e 'mom' from now on. You've been in a serious relationship with Ben and are going to get married someday anyway, aren't you?"

Fiona was so happy that the smile on her face was extremely bright.

"Mom, you haven't told me, where did the money come from? Why is there so much money? Could it be that there’s a rich Master somewhere trying to marry my sister and giving this as dowry?" Ben asked excitedly. I t seemed like he really wanted his sister to marry a rich guy so that his family would be able to live better again.

"No, it's not dowry!"

Fiona forced a smile before looking at Fane and said," It’s Fane’s money for Kylie. There's 950 thousand bucks here, he should be giving this amount!"

"He gave this?"

Ben looked back at Fane with a peculiar gaze. "Could h e really have withdrawn this much money? Does being a soldier pay this much?"

“You don’t know this, but I’ve heard that those who leave the army will get compensation. Those who spent a shorter time in the army could get about 100 to 200 thousand bucks so since Fane spent five years in the army, he should be getting more!"

"If this bastard could get a million bucks, I think he must’ve achieved meritorious service in the army. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to get this much!"

Fiona smiled and lifted the heavy bag while saying," This bastard is a bit compassionate after all. He brought some money back for us as compensation. If h e died at war, we could've gotten nothing!"

Ben nodded. "Since he had the decency to bring money over, that’s alright of him. However, Fane, don’t you dare think that making me call you my brother-in-law is this easy!"
