At the Shaw family’s residence, Colton packed his belongings while Melody stood nearby, arms folded, wearing a frown. She asked, “Do you have to go?”

After finally being transferred back to Alfornada and finding stability, Colton was now being sent to Malie City.

It was said that they would undergo long-term training stationed there.

Colton lifted his head, his voice unusually gentle as he replied, “Are you gonna miss me?”

Melody paused, then sneered, “Don’t try to sugarcoat it.”

A hint of helplessness flickered in Colton’s eyes, but he remained silent.

This version of Colton was as gentle as a cloud.

In his eyes, there was only the nation, its people, the safety of the country, the frontline battlefield, comrades-in-arms, team meetings…

His time was always dedicated to others, except for her and Ivan.

Ivan had grown up without Colton ever taking him to school, and he was absent when their child had a high fever and fell ill.

The only time he made an appearance was when Ivan was kidnapped and remained missing for a few days before finally causing him to “be aware.”

It was during that time that he stayed with Ivan for a few days.

Melody could not help but feel disappointed.

Others praised him for his respect and dedication.

But as a family member, only she knew how sorrowful it felt.

Initially, this would not have been an issue as she was someone who understood the importance of duty.

However, there was a female officer on his team who worked closely with him, and he often interacted with her. Melody could not help but feel uneasy about it.

After Melody mentioned her concerns, Colton simply stated that he had nothing to do with the other woman and provided no further explanation. Another year passed in their busy lives.

Melody, like any wife would be, grew increasingly frustrated. She turned around with a displeased expression and left the room.

Colton paused in his packing, a frown on his face. What did he say wrong this time? Did she want to accompany him?

The thought of Blake taking Lilly to Malie City made him reconsider. Perhaps it was not ideal to be separated from his family for an extended period.

Realizing why Melody was upset, Colton called out to her, “Wait.”
