Salute To The General

Chapter 1692

Penny had retreated to one side together with Kylie and Colin, blending in with the rest of the crowd. Quiet and reserved as always, she preferred not to stand next to Nathan and the other highly distinguished guests under the limelight.

From the distance, she quietly observed Nathan who shone brightly under the lights. This was the very man she loved and whom she couldn't be prouder of.

Just then, Hayley appeared beside her with two glasses of champagne. “Penny, would you like some champagne? Here, I've brought you a glass,” she said with a fawning smile.

Penny frowned slightly but kept an indifferent tone. "No, thank you. I'm pregnant, so I shouldn't be drinking.” “Oh my, how did I not know my dear cousin sister is pregnant! I must be blind. Let me get you a glass of milk instead.”

Hayley reappeared after a short while with a glass of milk and blabbered, “I wouldn't have noticed your slightly bulging tummy if you hadn't said anything! According to our belief, a round belly like yours indicates that it's a healthy baby boy. Congratulations, Penny!

As a woman of virtue, Penny maintained her peaceful composure albeit she wished she could be left alone. She took the glass of milk which Hayley offered, but held it in her hand the whole time without taking a sip. Hayley was well aware that Penny still kept her guard up against herself.

Despite that, she persistently stood beside her and continued to shower her with flattering praises. Who could have imagined how awful she had been towards Penny all this while before things took a turn just now?

Penny remained silent and gave an inaudible sigh. Some people are just really pretentious, aren't they?

Needless to say, she knew that Hayley’s change of attitude was only because of Nathan.

She was given special treatment only because of her husband.
