My Husband, Warm The Bed

At the same time, Monique was bidding her family farewell. "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Vivian, I'm heading back to the army now."

Monique performed well in the army. Her grandfather, Owen, had seen her the last time she was on television for the rescue job and thought that she was no weaker than the other men in the army. This time Monique was home, her grandfather's attitude towards her changed drastically. "Monique, take care of yourself when you're alone in the army. Don't get hurt or we'll be anxious."

In the past, even if Owen cared about her, he would never have expressed it so directly. He would always keep a straight face while lecturing her. Now that her grandfather was treating her this way, Monique felt happy too. "Grandpa, I understand. Your health isn't at its best, you need to take good care of yourself."

Owen said, "Yes. Yes. I understand. Stop nagging and head back to the army camp."

Carl and Brenda added, "Monique, your father and I have little to say, we just look forward to you giving us a few calls now and then. We'll be happy just to hear your voice."

Monique nodded. "Mom, Dad, I'll remember to do so. You guys should head back into the house. You don't have to walk me out."

Monique's second sister, Vivian, helped her carry one of her luggage bags and said, "I'll walk Monique downstairs."

"Theres no need for that, Vivian," Monique interjected.

Vivian glared at her and added, "I want to send my sister off, please mind your own business."

Monique was speechless and had no choice but to follow Vivian into the elevator. The elevator door closed, and Monique said, "Vivian, I'm doing fine now. Don't buy me wigs anymore. It's so annoying to wear." Vivian glared at her and reached out to twist her ear. "My silly sister, how could you be so silly? Have you seen what you look like now? Your hair is too short, and you're always dressed like a boy! You look nothing like how a girl your age should look like. If you carry on like this, who is going to look at you as a woman? Are you not going to marry someone anymore?"

"Vivian, I'm still young. I'm not thinking so far ahead just yet. I think spending the rest of my life alone isn't too bad. Why must a woman always marry?"

When Vivian heard Monique's words, she wanted to tug her ears off. "Monique Zellweger, you're hell-bent on pissing me off, aren't you?"

"Vivian, I'm heading back to the army now. Once I'm back there, I won't be able to anger you anymore."

Vivian really had the urge to hit Monique, but she couldn't bear to hurt her precious little sister. "We shouldn't have let you join the army back then. You used to act like a boy, but now I'm wondering if you' re even a woman at all."

Vivian's heart ached for Monique. She was afraid that Monique wouldn't be able to get married because of her boyish appearance and bought her many feminine dresses, wigs, and skincare. She wanted Monique to live more like a woman.

However, Monique did not understand her efforts at all and refused all of her gifts.

The last time, Vivian forced a makeover on Monique and made her wear a wig. She had looked beautiful after the makeover. She had prominent facial features. With just a little effort, Monique could defeat the looks of all the other girls. Vivian herself felt moved when looking at Monique after a makeover, much less the guys.

But Monique had said the wig was too annoying, and she would not wear it again. She also donated the skirt that Vivian had spent so much on. She even gave the skincare products to someone else. If it weren't because Monique was her sister, Vivian would have strangled her.

"If you guys say I'm a man, then I shall be a man. I don't think of it as something bad," Monique replied casually.

Vivian instantly thought of something, and her eyes widened. "Monique Zellweger, don't tell me you like women."

"Sis, what are you thinking about?" Monique felt a headache coming on. Her sister must be crazy. In reality, Monique just thought that it would be much easier to dress boyishly in the army. It was also more convenient for her during training. The guys wouldn't try to hold back just because she was a girl.

Vivian added, "Monique, tell me. Is the girl you have feelings for waiting outside for you right now? Cecil Hiller?"

Monique was annoyed that Vivian had made up nonsense out of nowhere. "Vivian, I told you to stop spewing nonsense and now you' re even making random conclusions."

Vivian replied hurriedly, "Random conclusions? I guess I'm right then. You must have a secret relationship with Cecil. I was thinking how come you've brought none of your friends over to hangout and yesterday you actually brought a girl home. If you're going to say you two don't have a secret relationship going on, I won't believe it."

Monique touched her forehead where a headache was brewing. "Vivian, I do have a special relationship with Cecil because we are the only two female soldiers in this new army troop. We train together and live in the same dorm. Of course we would be closer compared to the others. The reason I invited her home was because her house is not in Chatterton Town and it was the last day of our break, so she couldn't make it back in time. I'm telling you, if you say such things again, you're not my sister anymore."

Vivian shook her head and said, "Look at you, you must be guilty now."

Monique didn't know what to say.

Even though she had explained everything, Vivian still overthought. She didn't bother explaining anymore.

The elevator door opened, and Monique reached out to take her bag from her sister's hands. "Vivian, I'm leaving."

Vivian grabbed her arm and said, "Monique, you must let me know. If you two truly love each other, I will help you guys. It's such a big deal, don't keep it all to yourself. You might get sick if you keep it all to yourself."

Monique said, "Vivian, your words are getting more and more outrageous."

Just as Monique was trying to explain herself, Cecil, who was waiting downstairs, appeared in front of them. "Vivian, my relationship with Monique isn't what you think it is. We're innocent," Cecil piped in and made the situation worse.

Cecil's words didn't seem suspicious, but her guilty expression was. Furthermore, she was exchanging odd glances with Monique. All of it was telling Vivian that Cecil and Monique did have an unusual relationship.

Vivian was dumbfounded.

Monique said, "Cecil, are you trying to ruin my life?"

Cecil deliberately put on a miserable look and said, "Monique, is there something wrong with what I said? Didn't you ask me to speak this way to your family? Oh, no... I must have said something wrong. I'll shut up."

Vivian slapped a hand to her forehead with a look of realization...
