M sneered. "Are you truly clueless or are you just pretending?"


    “I''mpletely clueless,” Nathan replied.


    "I excel in professional knowledge and skills, but Ick experience in schemes, tricks, and tactics. I''m


    no match for anyone in that regard,” M exined.


    Nathan was lost. He gently turned her toward him, held her face in his hands, and looked into her eyes.


    "No one can defeat you when I''m by your side."


    M pushed Nathan''s hand away, stepped back, and said angrily, “I''m sorry, you''re the reason Fenna


    just defeated me."


    Confusion and helplessness clouded Nathan''s face.

    M grew even more irritated when she realized he didn''t understand her frustration. She pounded


    Nathan''s chest and warned, “I won''t forgive you if anything happens to our baby because of you.


    Prepare yourself for a divorce."


    With that, M turned away and walked off.


    The mention of divorce hit Nathan hard, and his heart sank. He quickly grabbed his coat and hurried


    after her. When Nathan caught up, M was already getting into the car driven by Phoebe. Phoebe


    closed the door and assured, "General Morrison, don''t worry, I''ll safely take M back to the base."


    “I''ming, too," Nathan said, opening the car door and getting in.


    Phoebe smiled helplessly and got in as well. M turned away from Nathan and gazed silently out the


    window. The car continued down the street, with M remaining silent for the entire journey. Nathan


    didn''t know how to cheer M up. He tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away and put it in her


    pocket. He felt dejected.


    During the ne ride and after they got back to the military base, M didn''t speak a word to Nathan.


    When they arrived, they went their separate ways to their dorms. That night, M''s phone kept buzzing


    with messages and calls, but she ignored them and turned her phone off.


    The next morning, M woke up early to get ready. She was determined to push aside her emotions


    and focus on her work.


    When she got to the research department office, her colleagues bombarded her with questions.


    "Hey, Wanda, did you tie the knot?" one professor asked excitedly.


    M looked at everyone in astonishment. "How did you all find out?"


    "The news spread like wildfire in the research department,” Joe said with a grin.


    “Yeah, where''s your mystery spouse from?"


    "Are you getting hitched because there''s a bun in the oven?"


    "What does your husband do for a living?"


    M put on an awkward smile, unsure how to deal with the eager questions from her colleagues.


    Suddenly, a heavy file crashed onto her desk, making everyone recoil in surprise. M was startled, her


    stomach knotting with anxiety as she nced nervously at Jacob, who had appeared out of nowhere.


    The professors red disapprovingly at him.


    "Mr. Lyons, that was rather thoughtless. Wanda''s pregnant and you might startle the baby. You should


    be more careful,” Joe grumbled.


    Jacob smirked and turned to M, “If you''re pregnant, take your maternity leave early and stay home.


    Do you think the research department is your personal space? You can''t juste and go as you


    please. And where have you been all week?"


    Struggling to contain her anger, M took a deep breath before she answered, “I went home and got


    married."


    "Did you even request marriage leave?" Jacob demanded angrily.


    M looked around at her colleagues, who offered sympathetic looks but couldn''t offer much help.
