The completion of the reorganization of the army and the smooth start of construction of naval warships finally brought to an end the various things that had been busy for many months.
Lyon, who was free, realized that he seemed to have forgotten to promise Sophia to propose a kiss to Strauss.
With apprehension, Leon knocked on the door of Sophia's house. It was still the maid who opened the door, and when she opened the door to see that it was Leon, she turned sideways to let Leon into the house, and said to Leon: "Mr. Leon, Mr. Strauss is not at home, you can wait for him here." "
Leon glanced at the second floor and said, "I'm not looking for General Strauss, I'm looking for Sophia, is she at home?" "
The maid nodded: "The young lady is in her room, do you need me to help you call her?" "
Leon waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go find her myself." Then, under the strange gaze of the maid, she tiptoed towards Sophia's boudoir.
Arriving at Sophia's door, Leon gently pushed open the door and saw Sophia sitting on a stool with her back to him, which made Leon think of mischief.
Sophia was sitting at the desk reading a book at the moment, and she didn't feel that someone was secretly approaching her behind her, and suddenly, Sophia was hugged from behind, which made her subconsciously scream.
"Hey, miss, hand over all your valuable things!" Leon hugged Sophia and said strangely.
Sophia was taken aback at first, but she quickly understood from the familiar breath that the person holding her was Leon. She was happy to react, and with Leon, said "What should I do if I have nothing of value?"
"Then it's a robbery!" Leon continued to speak in a strange tone.
"Boom!" The door was violently pushed open, and a figure familiar to both of them stood at the door, holding a pistol in his hand, shouting: "Beast! Let go of my young lady! Hmph, I know from your lewd appearance that you covet the beauty of my young lady, exposed, right? "
Leon turned around, subconsciously raised his hand, and said helplessly: "Madam Maid, can you put down the gun in your hand?" I'm afraid it will go off fire. "
The person who came was the maid who opened the door for Leon, and she didn't know that Sophia had agreed to Leon's marriage proposal and that the two had already had a relationship, and she thought that the two were just staying in the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. So she saw that Leon did not let her call Sophia at first, but tiptoed to Sophia's room, and became vigilant.
When she heard Sophia's screams and the conversation between the two outside the door, she was even more determined to her idea - it must be that Sophia did not agree to some of Leon's requests, so Leon wanted to use force on Sophia when Strauss was not at home! So there was the scene just now.
"Aunt Lawrence, you, you misunderstood!" Sophia felt nervous when she saw the maid pointing a gun at her beloved man.
"Miss, I know that this bastard has just become a general recently, and his rank is higher than that of Mr. Strauss, but you don't have to worry, even if he is the emperor, I will not let him hurt you." Aunt Lawrence said with a righteous face.
"Auntie, you really misunderstood! Leon and I have been in a relationship for a long time, and I have already agreed to his marriage proposal! Sophia was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Leon raised his hands and wanted to cry without tears, as for? I see my fiancée being pointed at gunpoint? I already knew that I would not play pranks.
The maid looked at Sophia's eager expression, and then at Leon's helplessness, and said suspiciously: "Really? "
Leon and Sophia both nodded hurriedly and said in unison: "Of course!" "
Lawrence put away the pistol embarrassedly and said to Leon: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought General Leon wanted to take Mr. Strauss away, what about the young lady." "
Leon put down his hand and said helplessly: "It's okay, I understand, I understand." "
"By the way, do you know about the two of you, sir?" The maid asked suspiciously.
"I came here this time to propose a kiss to Mr. Strauss." Leon said with a smile.
"Oh, then I won't bother you, you guys continue." The maid exited the room embarrassedly.
"Leon, you came to propose to my father this time?" Sophia looked at Leon and asked.
"Right." Leon nodded, "I'm sorry, I should have told your father about this a long time ago, but I was too busy some time ago, and I wasn't free until today." "
"It's okay, I understand." Sophia is very understanding, she understands that Lyon, as the leader of the Wehrmacht, does need to personally arrange most things in the reorganization and reconstruction of the army. So although she was by Leon's side all day as Leon's secretary, she did not mention the private affairs of the two to the busy Leon once. Her empathy is one of the reasons why Leon loves her deeply.
Then the sound of the door opening sounded downstairs, and then Strauss's thick voice came up: "Sophia, I'm back." "
Hearing Strauss's voice, Leon suddenly became nervous, even more than he felt when he had just been reborn in the Somme. However, he tried to overcome the retreat in his heart and led Sophia out.
Strauss, who had just entered the door downstairs, saw his daughter led out by Leon with red eyes, and like Lawrence, he subconsciously thought that Leon had violated his daughter, and he said in disbelief: "You, this..."
"Mr. Strauss, I have come to propose to you." Holding Sophia's soft little hand in his hand made Leon burst out of courage for no reason.
"Kiss?" Strauss froze, feeling a little sad and happy for a while. Happily, his daughter has not been tarnished and innocent, and sadly, the situation in front of him seems to be worse than he thought - his daughter is going to be abducted and run away.
"Dad, I've promised Leon." Sophia lowered her head and whispered, "Besides, when I was in China, I already had a relationship with him." "
"You, you." Hearing this, Strauss's angry fingers trembled, "Sophia, I just thought you had a sense of proportion before agreeing to go on a trip together, but why were you still deceived by this bastard?" "
"General, I didn't lie to Sophia, we are happy with each other." Leon explained sincerely.
"Yes, Dad, we are your will." Sophia said shyly.
"General, I love Sophia, I will treat her well for the rest of my life, please agree to our marriage." Leon said to Strauss seriously, and Sophia on the side was also full of expectation.
Strauss slumped on the sofa next to him and said weakly: "Hey, it's all here, how can I disagree?" "
"Thank you!" Leon and Sophia looked at each other and said happily.
"I only have Sophia as a child, I handed her over to you, please treat her well, please." Strauss looked at the happy two and smiled too. A daughter is always going to get married, and it's good to marry Leon, Strauss thought to himself.
No one understood Lyon's place in Germany better than Strauss, so he was more at ease to hand over his daughter to Lyon.
"General, I will give Sophia a grand wedding." Leon said seriously to Strauss, and then looked at the beautiful Sophia next to the voice, and said forcefully: "I promise!"
