Chapter 1195

“Commander, you…”

Jeffrey looked at Sean and tried to speak.

However, Sean held out his hand and stopped Jeffrey, so Jeffrey could only remain silent.

“Are these enough?”

Sean asked indifferently, pointing to the money on the table.

“Oh, you should have told me in the beginning!

“They’re enough. They’re enough. I’ll prepare the food for you.”

Tanya’s expression changed faster than she could flip a switch.

She had always had the impression that soldiers like Jeffrey were poor.

However, someone wealthy came here today.

Fifty thousand dollars might be nothing to a lot of people.

However, fifty thousand dollars was a huge sum for a place like theirs where living costs and average income were low.

It was enough to feed a family for two years.

Tanya stepped forward and reached for the money, but Jeffrey stopped her.

“What are you doing?”

Tanya immediately frowned and snapped at Jeffrey.

“I… I can’t charge my friends!”

Jeffrey blushed but said through gritted teeth.

“If we don’t charge them, how am I gonna cook for them?

“Do you think the ingredients rain from the sky?

“Go away!”

Tanya pushed Jeffrey’s hand away, collected the money, and rushed straight into the kitchen at the back.

“Wait here. I’ll serve you the food soon.”

Tanya’s attitude changed completely after receiving the money..

The sound of vegetables being chopped came from the kitchen after that.

Sean paid no attention to Tanya and only looked at Jeffrey.

“I’m sorry you have to see that, Commander…”

Jeffrey’s mouth was full of bitterness.

“I’m quite curious.

“What happened to make you this way?”

Sean asked quietly, looking at Jeffrey.

Anyone chosen among one hundred thousand personal guards was capable of fighting with unmatched. valor.

They were all hot–blooded and tough guys.

However, Sean and Zander thought Jeffrey behaved like a wuss right now.

“Commander, Brother Zander, Tanya wasn’t this way before.

“We grew up together, and she has waited for me for years.

“It’s just that I’m disabled. I can’t do much or earn a living.

“She has to do everything herself, and she got irritated over time.”

Jeffrey shook his head slightly before defending Tanya.

Sean and Zander looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes.

It was Jeffrey’s family matter, so they could not say much or get involved.

Sean looked at Jeffrey’s empty pant leg again.

Sean’s experience over the past two years was quite similar to Jeffrey’s.

However, Sean met a woman like Willow, who was worthy of his life.

Jeffrey did not have the same luck.

Jeffrey was one of Sean’s men and had followed him everywhere.

Sean would not want this to be Jeffrey’s post–military life.

“Commander, how can you pay so much money?

“I should be the one to treat you to dinner.”

Jeffrey could not help saying after recalling all the money Sean had just handed out.

‘It’s not much, and it’s supposed to be yours anyway.

“You’ve been in the army for five years and even lost your leg. How can 1,600 dollars compensate you?”

Sean shook his head slightly and said, and Jeffrey’s eyes turned red again.

“Okay! I get it now!”

Just then, Tanya suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

“What do you want now?”

Jeffrey yelled at Tanya with a frown.

“Shut up!

“I can see you’ve come to give him his compensation, haven’t you?

“So that means we deserve the money. Am I right?”

Tanya curled her lip as a sneer spread across her face.

Sean took a sip of tea and said nothing.

“How dare you show off with the compensation the higher–ups gave us?

“I knew no one would pay fifty thousand dollars for a meal.”

Tanya was even smugger when Sean was silent.

“That’s enough!

“You can criticize me, but you can’t insult him!”

Jeffrey slammed on the table and yelled at Tanya.

“What has gotten into you? How dare you yell at me?”

Tanya froze and looked at Jeffrey in disbelief.

It was the first time Jeffrey had yelled at her since they married.

“You can’t insult him!”

Jeffrey paused and said with a blush.

“I’ll insult him all I want!”

Tanya rolled up her sleeve and headed over.

Zander clenched his fist slightly and got up instantly.

He could stay out of Jeffrey’s family matter, but he could not tolerate Tanya insulting Sean.

“Yo. What’s with all the commotion?”

Suddenly, a young man about Jeffrey’s age walked into the store with a smile.
