Despite his anger, he couldn't resist her enthusiasm and passion. She was like a bright sun that suddenly Lightened up his mood. The fury in his eyes turned into sweetness in an instant.

Not far away, the soldiers who were training with Erica just now gathered and discussed among themselves.

“What is the meaning of this?

Why is Erica hugging him Like that?"

“And she kissed him too. Do you think she is doing this on purpose to make single men Like us jealous?"

“Erica said that her husband was very nice to her, and I believe her now. Look! They have been hugging for so long, but he still has no intention of putting her down. They are really showing off to us!"

"Oh, no! I can't watch them anymore. My heart is now full of envy."

Matthew could feel the people's envy from their stares.

But before he could say anything, Gifford glared at Erica and said,

"Get down now. This is not a place for you to show off. Many people are watching you right now. Don't you feel ashamed? Go home if you two want to make out."

"Gifford! What are you playing at? You're really clueless, you know that?" Instead of getting down from Matthew, Erica held him even more tightly. Her head cocked to one side, she retorted, "Besides, you kissed Chantel in front of your soldiers! Everyone knows that! Why can't I share a public display of affection with my own husband? I think you're jealous of me because I have someone. But Chantel's too far away to hold!"

Her words made Matthew laugh.

Gifford wanted to say something back, but he couldn't think of anything sharp enough. Erica was too good with the comebacks, and her words often stung! He had to threaten her, “You shut up! Did you forget where you are? This is a military installation-I'm in command here! What if I order you to run twenty kilometers with a five-kilo pack? Could you do ite"

Matthew held the woman in his arms tightly and told Gifford in a calm voice, "You're right. Rika's been a bad girl. But between you and me, we were supposed to teach her how to behave. We're responsible for this. So maybe we should be punished together

‘Together?’ Gifford was not afraid of the twenty-kilometer run. He was afraid Matthew had spoiled Erica and never set any boundaries.

"You gave her everything she wanted, and how did she thank you? She ran off for more than three years without so much as a word. Next time might be even worse. You sure you still want to spoil her without a care in the world?" He was afraid that if Matthew continued to mollycoddle her Like that, this woman would really become a problem.

Erica glared at her brother. It was obvious what he was trying to do.

“Gifford, you are such a dick! If I hadn't asked Chantel to come back, where would you be now? But now, when you see me with my husband, you start stirring up shit. See if I do anything for you again!"

Matthew scooped her up into his arms and said slowly, “You're right, of course. I won't make the same mistake twice!"

“What?" She was so sad.

Gifford suddenly felt a little guilty. Did he really drive a wedge between them?

However, what the man said next blew Gifford away again.

“But you all have to spoil her. I'm the only one who can reign her in. Anyone tries, then they're going to have to go through me." Then his eyes fell on

Gifford's face.

"I'm the only one who can handle my wife. No matter what she does, no one can punish her but me!"
