Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Chapter 24 Not Interested in Any Woman Other Than Her



Chapter 24 Not Interested in Any Woman Other Than Her

Matt grabbed the person by the wrist and threw them over his shoulder with just a little force.

“Ugh… Matt, that hurts…”

Lilian let out a grunt as she lay on the ground in embarrassment. She seemed to be on the verge of

tears as she bit her lips, showing a pitiful look.

Matt gave her a hand and helped her up. With a frown, he said, “What are you doing here?”

She gently massaged her aching wrists and replied softly, “You’ve been back for so long, but you

haven’t even once visited me. Am I not allowed to visit you now?”

Matt went on to button up his shirt and answered, “I will bring Winona along to pay a visit to my mentor

another day.”

Lilian tried to cover up her increasingly bitter expression and stepped forward in an attempt to

straighten his collar, but was immediately pushed away by Matt.

“Lilian, I’m a married man.”

Lilian wondered if this was a reminder for her to keep a distance between them in the future. She could

still clearly remember the day when her father brought her the news of Matt getting married. It felt as

though a needle had pierced through the heart. Now that she had confirmed the news from the man

himself, the wound in her heart was cut deeper than before.

She had someone run a background check on that woman before. In her view, the woman wasn’t

exceptionally pretty but was at most just a woman with refreshing looks. She didn’t think she was less

gorgeous-looking that the woman. Moreover, her father was Matt’s mentor as well as a helpful aide in

the political scene. So why would he choose that woman over her when she was the one who had

loved him for over ten years?

Suddenly, a tearing sound was heard. Lilian had ripped off her clothes in front of Matt, revealing her fair

and soft skin.

“I love you, Matt.”

Her mother had always told her to be reserved, especially towards men. She was taught to arouse

men’s desire yet be constrained at the same time to further set off their burning hunger for her. But she

was wrong, and she regretted her decision before. If she had been a little more aggressive in her

actions, perhaps Matt would not be deluded by that scheming bitch.

Swoosh! Matt immediately grabbed the bedsheet beside him and wrapped her around with it while novelbin

berating her angrily, “Stop your nonsense!”

Lilian looked at him with tears rolling in her eyes and sobbed uncontrollably, “Matt, do you not know

how much I love you? What is so good about that woman that you had to marry her?”

“Lilian, I have always treated you as my sister. Even if you strip yourself naked in front of me, I will not

feel anything.”

There were only two women who had a special place in his heart; one was his mother and the other

was Winona. No one else could ever evoke his emotions.

Matt then raised his voice, “Mr. Lynch, the next time you let any random people into my office, I’ll see

through your resignation in an instant!”

Herman felt chills running down his spine when he heard Matt’s words. He supposed that Ms. Lilian

Tucker must have done something absurd to anger the general.

Not sparing the lady in the room another glance, Matt walked out of the room hastily.

“Get a set of women’s clothing for her at once.”

Herman felt an urge to gossip and was about to ask what had happened when Matt threw an icy glare

towards him, “Do you think I’m a playboy who messes around with anyone?”

Forcing out a smile, Herman thought, “Hmm, he would only mess around with Mrs. Snider anyway. And

when he does, he would go on berserk mode.”

When Winona reached home, she was a tad surprised to find the dress that Karen had prepared for

her.

“The general has ordered me to fetch this from the boutique.”

Winona reached for the white dress and put it on. She stood in front of the mirror to check herself out.

The dress size was perfect and the dress exuded elegance and style, bringing out her fair and

appealing skin. In that dress, she looked as graceful as a swan. She must admit that Matt had a unique

sense of taste.

“The general has some affairs to tend to, so he would only reach the venue by eight. I will send you

over first.”

Matt had just returned to the country and was just awarded the Medal of Honor, so naturally, he was

busy with a ton of work. It was more than enough for Winona that he could spare some of his time to

accompany her to visit the Winston family.

Screech! Their car came to a stop in the Winston family’s mansion. Sharon was running out excitedly

from the mansion, but her face was soon to turn gloomy when she saw Winona coming out of the car.

Furiously, she shouted, “What are you doing here? Get out of here!”

Winona examined her closely. Sharon who was in a sexy spaghetti strap dress and with heavy makeup

on had obviously spent a lot of time dressing herself up. However, none of what she did could cover up

her pale and feeble appearance. She had lost several pounds over the past few days; her cheekbones

were oddly protruded, and her eyes were sunken. She appeared as if she had aged ten years older.

“Oh? Were you perhaps waiting for Benjamin? Looks like the Larson family have no use for you

anymore.”

Scrunching her face, Sharon had on her face a ferocious look. She plunged towards Winona while

shouting hysterically, “This was all because of you!”

Before she was able to touch her, Sharon had already flown off with a kick from Karen. She stumbled

and fell on the ground, looking hideous and unkempt like a living phantom.

At this moment, Christopher and Elizabeth made their way toward them.

As if she had found her lifesaver, she clutched onto Christopher’s pants tightly and pointed her finger at

Winona. “Dad, this wretch dared hurt me. Hurry! Get someone to beat her up and throw her outside!”

Smack! Christopher flung her away off of his legs, “What a disappointment! Go and apologize to your

sister now!”

Elizabeth stood aside. Her heart was racing and hurting at the same time, but she did not dare to make

any move.

Sharon was dumbfounded. She could not believe the father that had always adored her had just

slapped her.

“Dad?”

“Apologize to Mrs. Snider this instant!”

She bit her lips tightly to the point where they were on the verge of bleeding. Glaring coldly at Winona,

she refused to admit defeat in front of her.

Christopher raised his hand and was ready to slap Sharon when Winona said, “Mr. Winston, are you

not planning to invite your guest into the house?”

She was not being pitiful of Sharon, but sick and tired of watching this pathetic show repeatedly.

Besides, her grudge with Sharon had been going on for years and was not one to be resolved with a

mere apology from her.

At once, Christopher welcomed Winona into his home passionately. He poured her a cup of tea and cut

her some fruits himself as if he was a loving father.

If she was not the general’s wife, she would have been treated in a strikingly different way. His

pretentious attitude utterly disgusted her.

“Is Aileen still staying at the Willow Garden? I want to meet her.”

“Don’t worry. As long as you compliment the Winston family in front of Matt, I will be sure to treat Aileen

well.”

Winona felt a sense of revulsion at his words. Aileen was his daughter and he ought to treat her well.

But now he dared to use her as a bargaining chip instead. His actions were sickening and shameless.

“What a great father!”, Winona thought sarcastically.

She did not want to speak a word further with him and hurriedly strode towards the Willow Garden.

That was the courtyard she and Aileen had always stayed in. It was located in the southeastern part of

the mansion where one would have a hard time finding it if they did not look closely.

Walking along the bluestone pathways towards the Willow Garden, she found her surroundings

becoming more and more desolated as she approached her destination. Weeds were seen growing on

the stony path; both sides of the walkway were filled with lush and green wild plants that were blooming

with flowers, filling the environment with a nice fragrance.

Perhaps this was the only place where she could only fully relax. Fluttering her eyes close, she took a

deep breath.

All of a sudden, a black figure came out of nowhere and plunged towards her. She opened her eyes

instantly and bent over while swiftly taking a few steps back. However, the sharp dagger still managed

to make a cut on her cheeks.

She had no time to wipe off the blood on her cheeks as she unleashed a flying kick towards the person

who was charging at her. The figure fell to the ground with a loud thud and the dagger flew out of their

grasp. The figure tried to crawl towards the dagger to grab it but was immediately stopped by a foot. It

stomped heavily on the figure’s hand, grinding against it vigorously.
