Chapter 1655: Chapter 1655: No matter what you do, I will support you

Chapter 1655

"Not just a little." She leaned closer, her gaze slowly moving from his eyes downward: "Your eyes, the corners of your mouth, they’re all saying you’re not happy."

Alexander Foster’s expression was serious, "No one can be happy after knowing their wife is being hunted by a once-called brother."

"Is that it?"

She always felt that this man was also angry at her for "defending" Milton White.

Alex mustered a forced smile and said, "Don’t overthink it, I’m fine."

"Then who were you just on the phone with?"

Alex’s hand stroking her cheek paused, fell silent for a second, and said, "Your brother."

"And then?"

"To teach the Whites a lesson."

Chloe Collins knew that "a lesson" meant much more than just a small one.

His fury would surely need a great deluge to quell it.

She didn’t say much, knowing that his actions were within reason, and leaned on him, saying softly, "Whatever you do, I support you."

Alex’s face relaxed, deeply gratified.

At that moment, the doorbell rang in the room.

She let go of him, "I’ll go open it."

Alex’s shoulders sank, he breathed out an uncomfortable breath, and said, "I’ll get it, you get some rest."

In the end, Chloe followed him to the doorway.

The visitor was a local soldier.

He spoke briefly, simply saying that their general had heard of them and wanted to meet.

The two changed their clothes and went to the general’s room.

As they descended the stairs, Chloe glanced out the window and saw that the main gate was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling everywhere.

When they arrived at the general’s door, they could hear the intense discussion inside.

They were debating the upcoming tactical plans, each holding their own opinions.

It wasn’t until the soldier knocked that the four men inside turned to look.

The oldest-looking man smiled slightly, "Mr. Foster has arrived, please come in, come in."

He spoke fluent English, his attitude very warm.

Seeing this, the other three temporarily ceased their discussions.

Chloe scanned the faces of the four men, each one flushed, clearly showing signs of their recent argument.

The general said a few words to introduce the couple’s background to the others.

Then, he turned to them and said, "We invited you here because we learned that you have sent significant support to our country. They are now a powerful force in suppressing the unrest. I think, inviting both of you to participate in this fight is suitable."

"Regarding the tactical plans, we have almost finalized them. You only need to contact your rescue team in your country, and that would suffice."

It turned out to be a request for help.

Chloe looked over at Alex, signaling for him to respond.

Alex, as if prepared, said, "Our rescue team can arrive in no more than two days."

The general was overjoyed.

Chloe listened silently, smiling faintly at the thought of his statement upstairs about not interfering in other countries’ affairs, realizing the contradiction in what he said because of his annoyance.

Reflecting on it, she found it somewhat endearing.

Lost in thought, she didn’t initially notice someone was calling her.

When she came back to the present, she found the general looking at her, so she casually answered, "I follow my husband’s lead, you can just talk to him."

The general looked baffled.

Alex stifled a laugh, leaning in close to her ear and said, "I didn’t ask you a question, I only mentioned you and took a glance."

Chloe: "..."

For the first time, she felt so embarrassed.

Her fingers involuntarily tightened on the flesh of his palm, her smile strained.

Alex couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth, holding her hand and gently soothing her.

(Goodnight)
