Salute To The General

Chapter 2680

Nathan didn't stay long at the Windsor residence because he had been occupied with many things to deal with recently.

After chatting with Hansel and his wife for a bit more, he went to the White House with Penny.

The atmosphere in the White House was filled with sadness.

When Nathan and Penny entered, they even heard faint sobbing noises.

"Chief Cross is here! Hurry! Hurry up and stand straight to welcome Chief

Cross!"

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of royal guards and staff quickly lined up, saluting Nathan in unison. "Good day, Chief Cross!"

"Good day, everyone!" Nathan nodded.

Jaxton, the commander-in-chief of the royal guards, came forward and greeted him respectfully, "Chief Cross, why didn't you notify us in advance that you were coming? We could've made preparations to welcome your arrival."

Nathan shook his head and said,

"There's no need for that! How are the preparations for the president's funeral going? Where are Mrs. Woods and Maisy?"

Jaxton hurriedly replied, "The preparations for the funeral are complete, and the funeral can be held today. Mrs. Woods and Ms. Maisy are both inside. I'll take you there, Chief Cross."

Nathan nodded.

Soon, when Nathan and his entourage entered the White House, Garrett's body had been transported to the grand hall of Brimmopolis, where the memorial service would be held in the afternoon. Then, Garrett's body would be cremated.

At that time, Paisley and Maisy were both dressed in white.

When Paisley saw Nathan, she hurriedly stood up and gave a bow. "Good day, Chief Cross!"

Nathan hurriedly said, "Mrs. Woods, you don't have to do this. I'm like a brother to President Woods. If you address me that way, you'll be treating me as an outsider, and it'll mean that I've let President Woods down."

Paisley noticed that Nathan was still polite and respectful to her even after Garrett's death, and she was touched. She turned to her daughter and said, "Maisy, greet Uncle Cross."

Back then, Nathan had helped Paisley and Maisy in the supermarket. In recent years, Nathan had become Garrett's close friend, so Maisy and Nathan were also quite familiar with each other, and Maisy treated Nathan as her own uncle.

She looked at Nathan and timidly greeted, "Uncle Cross!"

"Good girl!"

Nathan bent over, carried Maisy up, and said gently, "Maisy, if anything happens to you in the future, just let me know. If anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me. No one is allowed to bully you and your mother. Understand?"

Maisy looked at Nathan and nodded firmly. "Noted, Uncle Cross!"

Nathan then turned toward Paisley and asked if she needed help with the funeral preparations for Garrett.

Penny chimed in, “Yes, Mrs. Woods, if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to tell us."

Paisley replied, "Thank you. The

family members and people from many departments are helping us. They've handled everything well. There's not much for you to help out with. Besides, Maisy and I have almost finished packing. We're moving out of the White House today. After all, the White House is where the president lives. It's no longer appropriate for Maisy and me to live here." Content belongs to noveldrama.org

Nathan frowned when he heard Paisley. “Did someone tell you something? Is anyone giving you trouble and asking you to move out of the White House?"

Paisley quickly replied, "No, no, no. Don't overthink it, Nathan. I have to move out sooner or later. Otherwise, it will have a bad impact on the new president when he moves in in the future."

Nathan knew that there had to be someone ingrate who had said something to Paisley and her daughter that made them want to move out in a hurry. This time, he had decided to step up and run for president. Based on the support rate, his presidential inauguration would be a blowout.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was doing that for Maisy. After he became the president, Paisley and Maisy could continue living in the

White House.

However, now that he thought about it, what Paisley said was right. People would start to gossip if Paisley was still living in the White House after Nathan was elected president.

Perhaps Paisley was in a hurry to move out of the White House because she wanted to prevent anyone from badmouthing her.

Nathan sighed and said, "Since

you've made up your mind, I respect

your decision will ask Colin to find a comfortable house for you and your family to live in peacefully." "You don't have to!" Paisley smiled and said to Nathan and Penny, I've already discussed it with my family. After the funeral, we will take my husband's ashes back to our hometown in the West, back to his roots. I will raise my daughter there as well. You two are welcome to visit Maisy when you are free." Content belongs to noveldrama.org

Nathan didn't expect that Paisley and Maisy would want to return to their hometown. He was rendered speechless for a few seconds. Then, he sighed and said, "Okay. I will visit Maisy more often. I won't disappoint President Woods." Content belongs to noveldrama.org
