Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down
Chapter 13 Matt and His Dirty Jokes

Winona noticed that Matt was sort of a clean freak when he instructed Karen to prepare his bath as soon as they arrived at Summergrove Manor.

She couldn't help mocking him, "How did you get used to the military life as a clean freak?"

After all, a military life involved carrying out missions in atrocious weather and sordid environments. One's uniform would never stay clean as it was constantly being stained by blood and dust.

Matt removed his uniform and replied, "I'll always find a way to clean myself no matter where I am."

During winter, he would bore a hole on the surface of a frozen lake and take a shower with the icy water.

All of a sudden, Winona was curious about Matt's family. Unlike his peers, Matt exuded a noble and distinguished aura.

Matt, who noticed her studying his face, asked with a crafty smile. "Would you like to join me?"

She responded to his question with a glare. There was no way she would leave herself vulnerable to his dick again. Her down under had been painful ever since the three crazy nights.

Laughing heartily, he strode off into the bathroom. When the sound of water splashing and flowing came from the bathroom, Winona found herself picturing his naked body. Streams of water would be running down his well-toned abs and then to his junk...

Smack! She quickly slapped herself gently to pull her mind back to reality. She couldn't believe she was painting erotic images of him in her mind.

Matt walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist after some time. Water was dripping from his hair, and his worked-out body was glistening.

Anxiously, Winona spun around and pretended to be making the bed.

Just then, he hugged her from behind. The smell of showering cream that wafted off from his body gave butterflies in her stomach.

"Get your luggage ready. We're going back to Coscana three days later."

Winona was stunned. "What's the rush?"

He grazed his lips against her ears and whispered, "You don't want to leave this place where you get to spend time in private with me, do you?"

She elbowed him and snapped, "Your narcissist."

"Ouch... Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Matt collapsed on the bed; his legs were tightly clamped together.

"Did I hurt his nuts just now?" Winona wondered.

Just as she crawled onto the bed to check on his condition, Matt flipped around and pinned her down with his weight. In his mesmerizing eyes, Winona saw her reflection—she was getting slightly breathless. She could feel his hard cock against her waist. "Can we just have one normal conversation which doesn't lead to sex?"

Matt sat upright and kept her in a tight embrace. "I'll launch an attack on the army of Draiso in two days. This time, we'll wipe them out."

Judging from his breezy and confident tone, Winona knew that he had long had the upper hand in the war with Draiso. It was up to him to decide when and how his army should go about the attack.

Matt was as wise as an owl and as shrewd as a snake-he was the last person anyone would want as their enemy.

She turned around and pecked on his jaw. "My husband is such an amazing man."

Smiling, he cupped her face and initiated a passionate kiss with her. "Well, my lovemaking skill is even more mind-blowing."

He just could not finish a conversation without incorporating a lewd remark.

His kisses made her body go weak. Breathlessly, she slumped on the bed together with him.

He reached out to caress her hair. "Once the news of the victory travels to Coscana, I'll receive a phone call from the president complimenting my effort. When that happens, I'll have to rush my way back to receive a Meritorious Service Medal."

She pondered over what he said and realized that Benjamin and Sharon's wedding banquet would be held three days later too. What a coincidence.

Suddenly, something dawned upon her.

She stared at Matt unwaveringly. "I...don't suppose you're returning to Coscana because of me?"

He planted a soft kiss on her cheeks and said, "Of course I am. From what I've heard, your sister is pregnant for a month. At that time, Benjamin was still your fiancé. I've never allowed anyone to bully me in my life, so I can't allow the same thing to happen to you. This time, I'll help you get even with them!"

Winona went stupefied. The fact that Matt was willing to take the extra mile just to do justice for her touched her immensely.

Her heart was melted. "Matt, thank you so much."

He smooched her ears and mumbled, "Well, shouldn't you do something to express your gratitude? I'd appreciate it if you use your mouth and your tongue together."

She rolled her eyes at him. She gave up trying to have a normal conversation with him because he was incorrigible.

Things transpired just as how Matt had predicted.

The army of Draiso was thrashed by Matt's men. Before long, a ceasefire was declared.

Most of the credit of the victory went to Matt, who would be awarded a Meritorious Service Medal.

Matt and Winona, as well as the FALCON Team, flew back to Bolwich without further ado.

After receiving a phone call, Matt said to Winona, "I'm heading to the President's Office now. While I'm away, Karen will take you to a shop where you can collect your gown for tonight's event. I guess I'll only get to meet you at the banquet."

"I've got it."

Winona found herself already missing his presence as she watched him go.

To her surprise, he strode back to her and pecked on her lips. With a roguish smile, he said, "Don't miss me too much. You'll get to see me in no time."

Two bright red blobs colored her cheeks immediately. "Did I say I would miss you just now?"

He chuckled, "Well, I do miss you already. I wished you were a keychain which I can bring along with me wherever I go."

Matt was such a flirt.

Karen brought Winona to the Apex Tower where a shop that offered haute couture was situated.

The owner of the shop was a mysterious man who only offered his service exclusively to wealthy businessmen and influential figures in the government and the army.

As soon as Winona stepped into the shop with Karen, she caught sight of a familiar figure-Sharon. She was checking her reflection in the mirror to see whether the scarlet red dress looked good on her.

Sharon and Winona looked slightly similar because they were sisters. Sharon inherited her curvy figure from her mother, and the red dress accentuated that.

Winona decided to ignore her. After all, Sharon had been her nemesis ever since she was little. She wanted everything Winona had, including her man.

To her dismay, Sharon noticed her and sashayed her way over. "Winona, I'm still waiting for your blessing."

Winona paused in her tracks and said perfunctorily, "Congratulations for marrying my ex-fiancé by being pregnant for his child."

A group of wealthy ladies nearby who happened to overhear their conversation besieged Sharon. Having always known Winona as Benjamin's fiancée, they were suspicious when Sharon was suddenly announced to be Benjamin's bride-to-be. Winona's remark earlier enlightened them.

"I can't believe the Winston family sucks at educating their daughters! How could you behave so cockily after snatching your elder sister's fiancé?"

"Absolutely. You should be ashamed of what you have done!"

Sharon was left stumped in the face of their criticisms.

Meanwhile, Winona walked elegantly to the fitting room. To her, Sharon was just like a pile of dung to which she had no reason to pay attention.

One of the shop assistants handed her a gown. "Mrs. Snider, here's the gown ordered by General Snider three days ago."

Warmth surged in Winona's heart when she heard that. As it turned out, Matt had had everything planned.

A loud thud came after she put on the gown. Sharon barged into her fitting room looking like a mess-her hair was disheveled and her red dress was in tatters.
