Chapter 37

Joseph Myers stared at Nathan Cross and forced a smile onto his face. “So you’re Ms. Smith’s husband. What do you do for a living?”

“I protect the country.” Nathan Cross said lightly.

Joseph Myers’ eyes widened. “What?”

“Don’t listen to him, Mr. Myers. He used to be a poor soldier who quit not long ago. He’s unemployed now,” chided Miles Smith with a grin.

Joseph Myers scoffed after he heard that. “Huh. I’ve never seen a poor soldier talk so highly about themselves.”

He yanked his hand out from Nathan Cross’s grasp after that, since he did not want to shake hands with some unemployed thug.

Miles and May Smith gave Nathan Cross and Penny Smith mocking glances.

Penny Smith looked at Nathan Cross anxiously, expecting him to fly into a rage and start beating people up for hurting his ego. He was not the type to let even the smallest insult slide.

Penny Smith grabbed Nathan Cross and spoke up for him, “No soldiers means no peace. Their duty is to protect the country for all of us. I don’t see anything wrong with what Nathan Cross just said, and besides, being a soldier is a huge honor itself!”
