The Wrong Woman

Chapter 103

Nathan's eyes glowed with a mysterious intensity, and a chill surrounded him.

With a touch of annoyance, he said, "You simply left a message and disappeared. Isn't that a bit rude? Can you at least give me an explanation?"

Suzanne found herself in a tight spot. She couldn't spill the beans about being a possible Nightshade spy.

Norvania's military base specialized in producing weapons and housed a highly confidential armory.

Being a spy, Suzanne knew she couldn't linger at the military base.

The risk of being suspected if any classified information leaked was too great. She was determined to avoid that accusation at all costs.

She left without notice because her mind was a chaotic mess at the time, and she couldn't come up with a proper excuse to say goodbye amidst the confusion.

"I..." Suzanne hesitated.

Nathan couldn't stop looking at her lips. Each little move of hers made his heart race. His throat was dry, and he felt the urge to kiss her.

He swallowed hard and asked, "What did the vice-captain say that made you leave all of a sudden?"

Suzanne felt a jolt down her spine as she looked up at him, her nerves evident in her eyes. Nathan quickly caught on to her unease.

"General Morrison, actually—"

Nathan smoothly interrupted with a voice that held a mysterious charm. "Change the way you address me."

Suzanne's heart melted a bit. She couldn't shake the sense that Nathan was playfully teasing her.

"Nathan," Suzanne called out in a gentle tone.

With a pleasing smile, Nathan responded, "Great."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Suzanne tensed up again. Her heart was like a roller coaster, going up and down with every twist and turn. She felt a bit shy when Nathan affectionately said the word "great".

Nathan noticed her cheeks turning slightly red. He hadn't interacted with many women, but Suzanne was the only one who would blush just because of his slightly intimate gestures.

He couldn't help but feel mischievous as he watched Suzanne become flustered. The more reserved she got, the more he felt the urge to tease her.

However, Nathan realized that if they kept going like this, they wouldn't get any real work done, and he might even push her away. Deciding to take a step back, he slowly withdrew his hand from the door.

"I'm not a fan of guessing games. Just tell me straight," Nathan stated.

Suzanne nervously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes. She was torn about whether to speak up. She wondered if confessing now would be considered honest or if it would complicate things.

However, she knew that if Nathan discovered the truth on his own, it would only lead to more misunderstandings. She was aware that she had to face the inevitable.

Summoning her courage, Suzanne said, "Nathan, before I lost my memory, I worked as a spy for the Nightshade, and—"

Nathan's gaze hardened, and his expression grew serious. He cut Suzanne off abruptly. "Did the vice-captain tell you this?"

Suzanne nodded.

"And you believed him?" Nathan asked.

"Because he was also a spy, too. I messed up the mission, and the clan sent him to eliminate me," Suzanne explained.

A sigh of relief escaped Nathan as he gazed at her with empathy. "So, for the past few weeks, you've been silently bearing this pain, overthinking, and staying hidden at home?"

Suzanne nodded once more. Tears began to well up in her eyes.
