Chapter 10. I am going to marry her.
Yes Cris! I have been waiting for her to come home. Now she's back! This is my only chance to marry my true love.
Cris was so stunned but he did not show it to General Ari. He was so worried now about Sav.
Let’s go back. Dinner will be served in a minute. This is confidential, Cris.
Sure, General, you can count on me.
As soon as they get back to their individual table, dinner is served.
When the plates were served, Ari was so attentive to Savannah’s plate, he cut the steak into little pieces then turned to her, now eat, it's ready. You have to drink coffee, not wine, since you have a low tolerance to alcohol.
Thank you, Ari. I can do that you know. And I can handle at least 2 shots of red or white wine, so I can take care of my heart, Savannah said.
No, avoid alcohol, please. There’s more options to take care of your heart. Just accept me and I will take care of you, not only your heart!
Everyone was stu

My Ruthless General Chapter 14. The Butterfly Farm
I am always interested in butterflies. These beautiful species were considered to be the reincarnation of the soul. In some belief butterflies is a personification of a person's soul; whether they are living, dying, or already dead. One superstition says that if a butterfly enters your guest room and perches behind the bamboo screen, the person whom you most love is coming to see you. Another superstition is that butterflies represent the soul, in some beliefs, it symbolizes rebirth. In our culture, a lingering black butterfly or moth in the house is taken to mean a death in the family. (Wikipedia) Ari and I will visit the famous butterfly farm in the CN province. He invited our close friends, his close comrade in arms, and of course his nephew Adam. We are going to have a catered lunch there with butterflies and colorful flowers. I don't know yet, how we can concentrate on our lunch when these beautiful flying species are hovering over us. I was so excited about Ari's plan.
