Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 153

Walter pondered for a moment before answering. "Well... it's definitely not a problem in the bedroom!"

But the more he spoke, the more uncertain he sounded.

Even he couldn't help but wonder: If everything was fine, why did he keep getting dumped?

Could it be because of that injury...

No, no, that definitely wasn't it.

He quickly waved off the thought and told Zoe and Sloane, "Last time we spoke, he mentioned his wife couldn't handle his career. She wanted someone with a stable desk job in Capital City. A guy like him, constantly stationed at a remote base, just didn't cut it."

"Besides, he's not your average soldier. He's in the most dangerous unit. The kind where you could lose your life at any moment."

Zoe was young and romanced the idea of epic, life-or-death love stories. She declared, "If I were his wife, I wouldn't mind his job at all. In fact, I would support him unconditionally."

Sloane agreed quietly. "Exactly. As long as two people love each other, there's nothing they can't overcome. It's like they say: it's not about how long you have together, but the quality of the time you share."

Walter looked incredibly pleased. "Since you both feel that way, I'll organize a get-together soon. I'll get him to come out so you girls can have a chance to mingle."

"Count me out," Sloane said with a soft smile. "I'll leave the opportunity to Zoe."

Zoe's face burned crimson.

That afternoon, Brenda went home to the family quarters and cried her eyes out.

When her husband returned, he immediately tore into her. "I told you to stop gossiping on base! I told you to stop spreading rumors! You've completely humiliated me!"

Brenda, feeling incredibly wronged, sobbed, "I just said a few wrong words, and their hospital director hunted me down like a dog! Your base is ridiculous, letting just anyone in! And you weren't even there! No one helped me!"

"Letting just anyone in? Do you have any idea who that director used to be? He was a Commander!"

"A Commander shouldn't bully people like that! Especially a retired one."
