Chapter 55: Marriage Proposal

The completion of the reorganization of the army and the smooth start of construction of the navy's warships have finally brought to an end the various things that have been busy for many months.

Leon, who was free, realized that he seemed to have forgotten to promise Sophia to Strauss.

With trepidation, Leon knocked on the door of Sophia's house. It was still the maid who opened the door, and when she opened the door and saw that it was Leon, she turned sideways and let Leon into the house, and said to Leon: "Monsieur Leon, Monsieur 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: "Miss is in her room, do you need me to call her for you?" ”

Leon waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go find her myself." Then, under the strange gaze of the maid, she crept to Sophia's boudoir.

When he arrived at Sophia's door, Leon gently pushed the door open and saw Sophia sitting on a stool with her back to her, which made Leon think of playing a prank.

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 scream subconsciously.

"Hey, Miss, hand over all your valuable things!" Leon hugged Sophia and said in a strange voice.

Sophia was startled at first, but she quickly understood from the familiar aura that it was Leon who was holding her. She was very happy when she reacted, and with Leon, Chu Chu said pitifully: "I have nothing valuable, what should I do?" ”

"Then it's a robbery!" Leon continued to speak in a strange tone.

"Bang!" The door was violently pushed open, and a figure familiar to both stood in the doorway, holding a pistol in his hand, and shouted, "Beast! Let go of my young lady! Hmph, I know from your obscene appearance that you covet my young lady's beauty, exposed, right? ”

Leon turned around, subconsciously raised his hand, and said helplessly: "Miss maid, can you put down the gun in your hand?" I'm afraid it will go off. ”

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 the two had already had a relationship, and she thought that the two were just staying in the relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend. So she saw that Leon didn't let her call Sophia at first, but crept towards Sophia's room, and she became vigilant.

When she heard Sophia's screams and the conversation between the two outside the door, she became even more determined in her thoughts - it must be that Sophia did not agree to Leon's request in some way, 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're mistaken!" Sophia nervous when she saw that the maid was pointing a gun at her beloved man.

"Miss, I know that this bastard has recently become a general, 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! I've been in a relationship with Leon for a long time, and I've already agreed to his proposal! Sophia was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Leon raised his hands and wanted to cry without tears, as for it? I see that my fiancΓ©e is also going to be pointed at gunpoint? I wouldn't have played pranks if I had known.

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 his pistol embarrassedly and said to Leon: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought General Leon wanted to take advantage of Mr. Strauss's absence, what about Miss." ”

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?" The maid asked suspiciously.

"I'm here to propose to Mr. Strauss." Leon said with a smile.

"Oh, then I won't bother you, you go on." The maid embarrassed and exited the room.

"Leon, you're here to propose to my father?" Sophia asked, looking at Leon.

"Yes." Leon nodded, "I'm sorry, I should have told your father about this a long time ago, but I was so busy some time ago that I wasn't free until today." ”

"It's okay, I understand." Sophia was very empathetic, and she understood that Lyon, as the leader of the Wehrmacht, really needed to arrange most of the things in the reorganization and reconstruction of the army. So even though she was by Leon's side all day as Leon's secretary, she didn't mention the personal affairs of the two to Leon who was busy once. Her empathy is also one of the reasons why Leon loves her so much.

At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded downstairs, and then Strauss's deep voice came up: "Sophia, I'm back." ”

Hearing Strauss's voice, Leon suddenly became nervous, even more than when he was first reborn in the Somme. However, he managed to overcome his retreat and led Sophia out.

Strauss, who had just entered the door downstairs, saw his daughter walking out with red eyes and being led out by Leon, he, like Lawrence, subconsciously thought that Leon had violated his daughter, and he said in disbelief: "You guys, this ......"

"Monsieur Strauss, I'm here to propose to you." Holding Sophia's soft little hand in his hand, Leon burst into courage for no reason.

"Propose?" Strauss froze, feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. I am glad that my daughter has not been tarnished and innocent, and the sad thing is that the situation in front of me seems to be worse than I thought - my daughter is about to be abducted.

"Dad, I've promised Leon." Sophia lowered her head and whispered, "And, when I was in China, I already had a relationship with him." ”

"You, you." Hearing this, Strauss's fingers trembled angrily, "Sophia, I just thought you had the measure to agree to you to go on a trip together, but why were you still deceived by this bastard?" ”

"General, I didn't lie to Sophia, we are in love." Leon explained with a sincere face.

"Yes, Dad, we are what you want us to do." 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 anticipation.

Strauss sat down 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, a child, I handed her over to you, please treat her well, please." Strauss looked at the two with happy faces and smiled. Daughters are always going to get married, and it's good to marry Leon, Strauss thought to himself.

No one understood Lyon's current position in Germany better than Strauss, so he was more comfortable handing over his daughter to Lyon.

"General, I'll give Sophia a big wedding." Leon said seriously to Strauss, then looked at the beautiful Sophia next to him, and said sonorously: "I promise!" ”
