Salute To The General

Chapter 1418 We Are Proud Of Him

The next morning.

Nathan was eating breakfast with his family when the doorbell rang.

Benson went to open the door, revealing his estranged older sister and sister-in-law, Lily Smith and Matthew Marley.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Lily, Matthew, what brings you here? Please come in."

Lily had never really been on good terms with her father, Sean. That was why after she married into the Marley family from the East, she had basically cut off all contact with the Smiths.

Their sudden visit today came as a happy surprise to Benson Smith and his family.

It had been years since Benson had seen or heard from his sister, yet she had arrived empty- handed this time.

She and Matthew walked into the living room, glancing around all the while. Noting how well-off her brother and his family were, she said in a strange tone, "Oh wow, Benson. It looks like you're doing pretty well. This is a far cry from the doghouse you used to live in."

"This is all thanks to my daughter and son-in-law," Benson replied honestly.

At that moment, the rest of the people in the house came into the living room.
