"If you want me to go and win the championship, I'd go through hell and high water, giving my all," Marcel said determinedly.
"Enough, old man, stop trembling. Hurry up and eat; the food is getting cold," Ruby said, half teasing, half urging.
"As you command, my dear wife," he replied with mock solemnity.
The warmth between them was palpable, enough to make any onlooker envious.
「The Horne Family Villa.」
Ruby parked her car in front of the villa but didn't drive inside.
She had just dropped Marcel off at the military base to report. After he asked his superiors if he could visit his grandmother first, they granted him a two-day leave. He had just returned after a long absence, and his leaders were well aware of his situation.
After eating out together, Ruby drove him back to the Horne Family estate.
"Why didn't you drive in?" Marcel turned, his gaze fixed intently on Ruby.
