Mila nestled into Nathan's chest, looked up at him, and whispered, “I'll call you General Morrison when we're on the military base, but when we're alone, I'll call you Nate, okay?"
Nathan held her waist and looked down at her. He was mesmerized by her tender gaze and sweet voice. "Alright," he agreed.
Mila smiled at him and asked, "So, where are we going now? Back to the base?"
"We're going back to Sudvilla,” Nathan replied.
"We're going back to the base tomorrow?" Mila asked.
"Aren“t we supposed to get a honeymoon period after we get married?" "Aren“t you swamped by work?"

"But I'm very busy,” Mila teased.
"You're not," Nathan replied with a grin.
"Are you spying on my work?"
Nathan gently caressed the back of her head, his expression serious as he said, "Wanda, I have only one request of you."
"What is it?" Mila asked.
Nathan's eyes bored into hers as he said solemnly, "Promisethat you'll never betray me."
Mila nodded. She met his eyes with sincerity as she vowed, "I'll never betray you. If I do, I—"
Nathan interrupted her with a kiss. He only needed to hear her promise. Mila's eyes widened in surprise and she pressed her hands to his chest. His tongue slid slowly between her lips.
Mila quickly pushed him away and pulled away. Pressing her lips together, she asked shyly, "What are you doing? We're in the middie of the street. It's indecent to kiss in public.”
Nathan smiled as he took Mila's hand and opened the car door for her to get into the passenger seat. Once Mila was seated, Nathan leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, but she protested, “I can do it myself." With her seatbelt fastened, Nathan rested one hand on the passenger seat while gazing at Mila's flushed cheeks and rosy lips. Unable to resist the temptation, he leaned forward and gave her another peck on the lips.
Mila sighed and asked in a displeased tone, "Nate, what are you doing?"
"Aren't we allowed to kiss each other?" Nathan teased with a grin. "There are people everywhere. You should watch what you're doing, especially since our marriage is still a secret,” Mila muttered.
“I'm just helping you keep it a secret from the people you want to keep it from, not my family,” Nathan countered.

With a satisfied grin, Nathan stroked her hair lovingly before closing the car door.
Mila watched him smile. She had known him for a long time, and today was the day when he smiled the most and the brightest of all.
Nathan got into the car, started the engine, and drove away. Mila thought they were going back to Sudvilla. Instead, they ended up at the Morrison residence.
Gary and Florence were the only ones at home. They were sitting on the couch and looking at the marriage certificate. They were full of excitement and couldn't seem to stop smiling.
Florence looked at Mila with a twinkle in her eye and said, "Wanda, it's great to see you two getting married again! You have no idea how I feared Nathan would be single forever since you left Norvania six months ago."
"Exactly. Florence has been so worried about him that she hasn't been able to eat or sleep properly,” Gary chimed in.
Mila wasn't sure how to respond, so she simply offered a smile. She glanced discreetly at Nathan and noticed how calm he was. There was even a glow of happiness on his face.
"Now, I can finally sleep well and have sweet dreams,” Florence said with a warm smile. "You two should cherish, respect, and love each other forever. It would be wonderful if you could have a child together.”
