M was startled by how fast Jacob told Nathan everything. She gripped her hands tightly without


    saying a word.


    Nathan held back augh and tried to look calm as he cleared his throat. He nced affectionately at


    M while asking Jacob, "Did she insult you by saying you''re useless?" “Yeah, everyone on Team B


    heard it,” Jacob answered angrily.


    Nathan simply hummed in response.


    “Not only did she ck off and insult her superior, but she also didn''t show up for work for a week.


    Considering her irresponsible behavior, I suggest you dismiss her," Jacob added. Nathan turned to


    Fenna and asked, "I told you to arrange a month''s leave for her. Why haven''t you done it?"


    Everyone was surprised by Nathan''s question while Fenna nervously responded, "I''ve been too busy,


    and I forgot about it."


    M frowned. Fenna''s excuse didn''t sit well with her and left her irritated.


    Nathan then turned to Jacob. "Did you hear that? It''s Ms. Hudson''s fault. She forgot about it."


    "Why would Ms. Hudson handle Wanda''s leave?" Jacob felt confused.

    “Isn''t Ms. Hudson supposed to handle my tasks?" Nathan questioned.


    "Yes, as your assistant.”


    "Does my wife''s tasks count as mine?"


    "Absolutely."


    Everyone in the room quickly grasped Nathan''s message and turned to look at M in astonishment.


    However, Jacob was slower to catch on.


    M shot Nathan a re. They had agreed to keep their marriage a secret, but Nathan seemed


    determined to let everyone at the base know.


    Eventually realizing the situation, Jacob grew nervous. "General Morrison, you''re married?"


    Nathan calmly responded with a simple acknowledgment. Warm congrattions followed from


    everyone in the room. M was shocked.


    Jacob congratted Nathan with a friendly smile, but his expression soon turned nervous again. He


    couldn''t resist asking, "Y-Your wife is..."


    Nathan''s eyes crinkled into a smile as he confirmed, "Yes, the one who called you a waste of space is


    indeed my wife."


    M felt her heart flutter unexpectedly when Nathan proudly announced their marriage to everyone.


    Although she had hoped he would keep it a secret, she couldn''t help but be touched by how openly


    and proudly he acknowledged her in front of everyone.


    Every staff member offered their congrattions.


    Jacob''s face went pale. He seemed flustered, unsure whether to offer congrattions or apologies first.


    He stammered, "I''m sorry, General Morrison, I-I had no idea she was your wife, I-..." Nathan patted


    Jacob''s shoulder and said, “It''s okay, Jacob. It isn''t your fault. You can me it on my wife for cking


    off at work and confusing you with a bunch of messy data.” M looked at him inplete


    bewilderment. She couldn''t fathom why Nathan would support Jacob''s im that she had been


    cking off at work.


    Fenna smirked quietly, seemingly pleased.


    M couldn''t figure out where Nathan stood on the matter. She pondered whether men were deeply in


    love before marriage but becamecent afterward. However, she didn''t believe Nathan was like


    that. When Jacob saw Nathan wasn''t holding a grudge, he felt relieved. With a smile, he remarked, "It''s


    good to have Mrs. Morrison on Team B. Even if she does ck off, it''s fine."


    "So, does that mean she''s exempt from Team B''s rules?" Nathan asked calmly.


    "Certainly, Mrs. Morrison is free toe and go as she pleases. I won''t interfere with her research


    anymore," Jacob replied, trying to please Nathan.


    Nathan nodded approvingly. He approached M, took her hand, and gazed at her tenderly. “Wanda,


    let''s go."
