Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Arnold Is Getting Engaged...
Throughout the entire process, Mark had no idea that Arnold, wearing a pink long dress and with her long hair draping over her shoulders, was standing not far from his door...
At this moment, Arnold looked at the tightly closed door, tears streaming down her face.
Crying, Arnold’s face revealed a bittersweet, self-mocking smile: Haha, how could she have forgotten that the boss had once used Kaleb’s alias while on a mission?
It turns out the boss was not who she thought he was; he already had a woman and a child while executing missions...
Arnold turned and silently left.
Afterward, Arnold locked herself at home, sulking for a whole week.
A week later, Arnold stepped out of her house again, appearing as a woman in front of everyone.
Witnessing his daughter’s depression and then seeing her put on a brave face upon leaving the house, Sebastian Moore decided to introduce Army District Company Commander Ethan Sterling to Arnold.
Ethan Sterling was a son of an aristocratic family from M Country, whose ancestors were also distinguished generals, and Ethan had known Arnold since childhood, having grown up together in the army district compound.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Sebastian Moore had watched Ethan grow up since he was a child and was satisfied with Ethan’s character and abilities.
Furthermore, according to Sebastian Moore’s knowledge, Ethan had long had an eye on his daughter.
Thus, entrusting his daughter to Ethan gave Sebastian Moore absolute peace of mind.
Having made up his mind, Sebastian Moore first asked Arnold’s opinion, and with Arnold’s lack of objections, Sebastian Moore immediately summoned Ethan.
In the chief’s office, Sebastian Moore looked seriously at Ethan, "Ethan!"
Ethan stood upright and saluted with a snap, "Present!"
Sebastian Moore looked at Ethan, solemnly asking, "Are you willing to marry Monica?"
Ethan was overjoyed, with a smile he couldn’t hide.
He looked at Sebastian Moore, without any hesitation, responding forcefully, "Reporting to Chief, I’m willing!"
"Good!" Sebastian Moore looked at Ethan approvingly and decisively said, "I’ll arrange it: you and Monica will get engaged in a month, in the name of a soldier’s honor."
"Yes!" Ethan stood straight again, saluting with a standard military gesture, "Chief, rest assured, I promise to accomplish the task."
"Good, good, good." Sebastian Moore praised continuously, patting Ethan’s shoulder, and instructed, "I will entrust Monica to you, ensure you treat her well and never let her be sad."
Ethan looked at Sebastian Moore, solemnly promising, "Chief, rest assured, I will take good care of Monica Moore, and won’t let her suffer any grievance, nor shed a single tear; I will love and protect her for life!"
The impending engagement of Ethan and Arnold was not deliberately concealed but instead spread within the military.
Soon, this matter reached the ears of special forces member Silas.
Upon hearing about this from others, Silas became anxious immediately.
Arnold is actually going to be engaged, how can this be?
As far as he knows, Arnold clearly likes their boss!
Furthermore, judging by the boss’s attitude, it seems he also has some feelings for Arnold!
"No way!" Silas slapped his forehead, immediately standing up from his chair, "I need to hurry and find the boss to inform him about this!"
Mumbling this sentence, Silas didn’t even eat the freshly prepared meal, rushing to find Mark.
In a hurried rush to Mark’s residence, Silas didn’t even catch his breath when he started speaking to Mark who opened the door, "Boss, Arnold is getting engaged next month, and the fiancé is Ethan..."
Upon saying this, Silas automatically shut his mouth.
Although Silas wanted to add a sentence afterward, ’Boss, if you don’t act now, it will be too late.’, he only dared to think so because Silas is rather fond of his life.
The necessary message had been delivered by Silas, and he had clearly informed Mark, then Silas remembered he needed to catch his breath.
"Boss, I’m going in for a drink of water, okay?" Saying this, seeing that Mark did not object, Silas autonomously walked in...
Mark stood there dazed.
Silas said Arnold is getting engaged next month, doesn’t that mean Arnold is back?
He didn’t even know she was back, does it mean her eyes are healed?
But getting engaged next month, to Ethan...
Suddenly, Mark’s entire presence released an alarming coldness, and his pitch-black eyes surged with dangerous waves, as an instant storm brewed.
"Silas!" Mark turned to Silas and inquired, "Where is Arnold now?"
Having just arrived at the living room, holding a cup to pour water, Silas looked at Mark, "I don’t know, she should be at home."
"Alright." Mark strode outward and instructed Silas inside, "When you leave, remember to close the door for me!"
Silas plopped down on the sofa, "Boss, you go chase Arnold without worry, I..."
Silas swallowed the remaining words back into his belly, only because with Mark suddenly freezing his footsteps, he gave Silas a death stare.
"Haha..." Silas laughed sheepishly, seeing Mark halting and giving him such a stare, "Boss, what I mean is don’t worry, I’ll definitely lock the door for you."
Mark retracted his gaze, couldn’t be bothered with Silas, striding away.
After leaving the apartment, Mark immediately headed to the army district compound.
Although on vacation without wearing a military uniform, by face recognition, Mark still smoothly entered the army district compound.
It was only upon entering the compound that Mark was stopped in front of the Moore family gate...
Mark’s sharp black eyes coldly looked at the guard blocking him, saying in a cold voice, "I’m here to see Arnold, you..."
The guard standing in front of Mark didn’t wait for him to finish speaking before replying with a serious expression, "Major Chen, please don’t make things difficult for us."
"I won’t make it difficult for you, just let me through." Mark replied unrelentingly.
"The order we received is to not let you through." The guard looked at Mark, suggesting, "Major Chen, I suggest you go back."
Mark faced with the cold expression refused to leave, but the guards ordered not to let him enter the gate were steadfastly not letting Mark through.
Mark was so angry he could spit blood, yet also utterly helpless.
Ultimately, helplessly, Mark simply stood at the entrance.
Inside the Moore family residence, three people were watching Mark who was blocked by guards, waiting helplessly at the entrance.
These three people were none other than Arnold’s grandfather, grandmother, and mother. They were also the ones who had ordered the guards to block Mark, preventing him from entering.
