"The work might require me to move to different places. One year I'm here, the next I'm there. Sometimes my family could go with me, but in some special cases, we might have no choice but to be separated."
Jackson lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "I wouldn't be able to bring you out shopping, much less talking with you while working like this."
Nidia fell silent.
All he said was true.
However, what he said was not the real reason why he had left the military region of Imperial District.
<He's lying.>
Nidia was not a child. What Jackson said were things that he should have already known from the moment he joined the military.
But he chose to do it anyway, and did it for many years.
Seeing that he did not want to mention his real reason for leaving the military area, Nidia stopped probing further. She reckoned that he must have had his reasons.
For some reason, she started feeling bad for him.
