The Wrong Woman

“Suzanne, I’m outside your gate,” Betty sobbed.

“At my gate?” Suzanne was surprised.

“The Morrison residence’s gate, to be precise. We discovered your

secret marriage. Your dad made a scene at your house, and your husband’s subordinate had to kick him out at gunpoint.

“Your dad got all mad at me, even laid hands on me right there outside your gate!

“Boo-hoo! My life’s a mess! Samuel doesn’t help me either! I’ve had it with both of them. I’m not counting on my husband and son anymore.

“Suzanne, I’m counting on you from now on!” Betty exclaimed.

Suzanne grasped Betty’s message on the phone. With her limited recollections, her emotions toward her parents were already faint. After realizing she wasn’t Suzanne, those feelings faded even mo

“Wait for me. I’m on my way out,” Suzanne said before ending the c and exiting the room.

As she descended the stairs, she spotted Nathan in the living room, absorbed in his phone. Upon hearing her footsteps, Nathan glanced up at her.

“I’m heading out for a bit,” Suzanne awkwardly told him.

Nathan set aside his phone, stood up, and approached her. “Your family was just here.”

“I know,” Suzanne replied.

Nathan looked at her intently and gently asked, “Where are you going? Do you want me to come with you?”

Suzanne quickly shook her head. “It’s fine.”

But as Nathan peered into her uncertain eyes, he sensed a flicker of nervousness within her.

“Can you tell me where you’re going?” Nathan asked. He didn’t want to intrude on her privacy but couldn’t shake off a sense of

unexplained concern.

Suzanne paused for a moment and gestured outside. “My mom is waiting for me out there.”

Sensing Suzanne’s respectful tone toward her mother, Nathan gently asked, “Should I invite her inside?”

“No worries,” Suzanne replied anxiously. She was afraid that her family might cause trouble for the Morrisons.

A subtle tension lingered between them. Nathan casually slid his hands into his pockets and hummed in response.

“I’ll head out then,” Suzanne mumbled.

Nathan nodded. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Suzanne took a few steps, then suddenly halted. She stood still moment, facing away from Nathan, before turning around and walking toward him.

Nathan noticed her serious expression and couldn’t help but smile. What’s the matter?”

Suzanne paused, took a deep breath, and spoke from the heart,”

Nathan, as long as it’s just us, I won’t seek a divorce. Unless you want

me to.”

With an affectionate smile, Nathan asked, “What are you talking

about?”

“It’s fine even if you don’t love me, but can you please cut ties with Sally? Let’s make sure she doesn’t meddle in our marriage anymore.” Nathan’s gaze softened, and his breath quickened slightly. “Suzy, I…”

The words “love you” got stuck in his throat once again. His heart raced inexplicably, and his cheeks felt hot. Expressing “I love you” turned out to be more challenging than he had ever imagined.

Before he could even speak, his body had already reacted with a storm of emotions. Nervousness and shyness enveloped him completely.

Suzanne looked a bit sad. “Can’t you do that?”

“I can,” Nathan asserted.

She gave him a warm smile, and a gentle sparkle lit up her eyes. ” Nathan, I’ll trust you one last time. I’ll go first.”

Suzanne waved goodbye while walking away.
