Chapter 46 An Uninvited Guest

The duty of a soldier is to obey orders.

Henry frowned. As a commander, he gave orders without even explaining the reasons and assigned them to his subordinates to carry out, and no one dared to bargain with him.

"Speak up, I'll listen." Henry was a rather meticulous man. He had seen how Bailey had played tricks on the two stupid thieves who had kidnapped her, and in order not to end up in such a miserable situation, he did not readily agree to her request until he had heard the details.

"The fact that we have registered our marriage should not be mentioned in any other occasion except for the necessary family members who need to know." If it were known to outsiders that she is Henry's wife, it would surely draw a lot of attention and criticism in the military camp, and the pressure of life would be too great. Bailey wanted to have an easy life and stay away from all the gossip.

"All right, I agree." After a moment's thought, Henry nodded in agreement.

"All right, no more delivery." To prevent Tessa from seeing the car, Bailey got off two stops earlier, waved to Alvin and Henry, and turned into the neighborhood.

"Is the old lady going back to Ascalia? Alvin didn't ask until Bailey got out of the car. The old woman he was referring to was Henry's grandmother.

"No, I lied to her."

No one knew exactly where his grandmother had gone on her journey around the world and when she could return home. He just put up the golden signboard on the spur of the moment to scare people.

Henry sighed, leaned back in his sofa, pulled out his pistol from his waist, and began to disassemble it non-stop. "I'll be on edge if you don't put Bailey by my side and keep watch for 24 hours."

The last hijacking incident, along with this fight incident, prompted Henry to make the following decision.

House of Morris did have such a family rule. Originally, Henry wasn't very interested in this, thinking that worrying about whether a person had ever served in the military was actually meaningless.

But today he thought that his grandfather was really wise and mighty, having laid an ambush for his grandson in advance.

Henry got out of Alvin's car and saw a silver red flag car parked right in front of his door.

Henry hesitated for a moment and said to himself, "Why is he here?"

Pushing open the door, he saw Harold sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, with a copy of "Ancient Military Architecture" on his lap. Behind him stood his guard.

When Harold saw Henry come in, he closed the book and handed it to the guard behind him, who put the book back on the bookshelf.

"I was bored, so I picked one from your bookshelf," Harold said.

Henry gave a soft "oh" and sat down a bit further away from Harold and asked, "You came to see me for something?"

Every time father and son meet, it's a quarrel. Now that they have been apart for a while, both of them can be much less angry, but when they meet, the atmosphere is still a bit awkward.

"The police have reported that your sister is involved in gambling, and the amount is significant. Maybe she will be detained for a few days." Harold looked serious and his eyes flickered.

Lynn has now rushed to the Public Security Bureau in a hurry to get Paula and Keith out on bail.

Lynn was quite angry at Henry's actions and had already presented a copy to Henry in front of Harold, saying that the arm was folded and the sleeve was hidden. After all, they were all Morris s people. Even if they didn't get along well at home, there was no need to show these things to others. How could Paula have any face in the future?

Besides, catching gambling is the job of the police. What does it have to do with the military? Henry went to the Mighty club with his men. It was a case of a dog taking advantage of a mouse to meddle in other people's business. He wasn't going to catch gambling, but to target Paula.

Seeing his father bring up this matter, Henry's heart sank. Was this the reason why his father came to look for him today? It seemed that another big battle was about to break out between the father and son.

Henry was supposed to go for Carl, but to catch Paula on the spot was an accident. In the face of many subordinates, Henry had to be impartial and not show favoritism in order to win them over.

Unexpectedly, Harold did not lose his temper. "Paula has been spoiled a little. She has always had a delicate temper since childhood, but this child is not inherently bad. Her behavior this time touches the legal level. There is nothing wrong with you doing this. Teach her a lesson and make her restrain herself.In the military camp, if he wants to win the respect of the people, he himself must be fair and upright, and leave no personal feelings."

Harold's words took Henry quite by surprise. It turned out that his father could be so reasonable at times. Henry felt a warmth in his heart, but now he didn't know what to say to his father.

In fact, Harold is not without human touch. But he was heartbroken to see his son change from a valiant and capable man to a listless and lazy one. He wanted to encourage his son with words to lift him up, but every time the words were on the tip of his tongue, they turned into scolding and reprimand.

Now, for a rare occasion, when he saw his son return to his former glory, leading the troops with composure, Harold saw a long-lost delight in his eyes.

"Your intention this time is to repay Carl, isn't it? Henry's true intentions were obvious to him.

Henry nodded. "The matter of the last article can't be let go so simply."

"You're still a bit naive after all." Harold shook his head. "This time you really did have a deterrent effect, making Carl have to be wary. But would Carl care about such a small fight club, even if you took it off, it would be just a little less pocket money for him. The "Sea Shark" project is just the nail on the head of the House of Collins line, and you should focus more on that aspect."

Harold has a rich life experience and is indeed much better at seeing things than his son, hitting the nail on the head.

"Well, no matter how much I say, it won't help. There are some things you have to experience yourself to understand." Harold rose from the sofa, and the guard immediately handed him his coat.

While adjusting his clothes, Harold said to his son, "I was a bit too hasty last time. Bailey may not fit into my style. When you have time, explain it to her for me."

For someone as arrogant and stubborn as Harold, this was the maximum apology he could offer.

"After all, your grandma is coming back home and will ask when she sees you not at home." Harold had come all the way in the hope that his son would stop being angry with him and move back home. Otherwise, his mother would surely be unhappy to see her beloved grandson leave home.

Henry twitched the corner of his mouth. What? Grandma is coming back?
