Chapter 182

“Why won’t he divorce you if he doesn’t love you?”
Suzanne was hungry, but the food tasted like nothing to her.
“His grandmother likes me a lot,” she mumbled.
“Oh, he’s quite the model grandson.”
The pair continued eating their mac and cheese in silence.
A while later, Sienna picked up an apple and began peeling the fruit.
“I think, no matter how fiery the relationship is, people are always madly in love before they get
married. After
marriage, everything changes.”
She continued, “In a marriage, there’s no love. There’s only duty and companionship. It doesn’t matter
if he loves you or not as long as he’s willing to spend on you.”
Suzanne smiled bitterly at her and said, “Why are you so pessimistic when you’re not even married
yet?”
Sienna laughed. “I’ve seen too many unfortunate
circumstances in married life to ever want to get married. Besides, it’s not that bad being on my own.”
“I want to be like you, too,” Suzanne agreed. “After I get divorced, I’ll never get married again. I’ll spend
the rest of my life alone like you.
וו
“How am I supposed to be alone if you’re with me?” Sienna laughed.
Suzanne pursed her lips and nodded.
Sienna handed a slice of apple to her and asked curiously, It’s been two days since you left your home.
Do you think your husband will come looking for you here?”
Suzanne took the apple slice and replied, “He doesn’t know you’re my friend. He won’t show up here.”
“But he’s Nathan Morrison! The general of the Norvanian Military! Aren’t you aware that he develops
national defense weapons?
“It shouldn’t be difficult to locate you if he’s capable of dealing with such advanced weapons, no?”
Suzanne froze as she was about to bite the apple slice. She suddenly felt a bit anxious–Sienna had a
point.
Right at that moment, the doorbell rang.
Sienna wiped her hands on a tissue and stood up. “That
must be my parcel. I’ll go open the door.”
Feeling gloomy, Suzanne took a bite of the apple slice and sighed deeply.
At the door, Sienna was dumbfounded. She stood frozen in place as she stared at the tall and muscular
man in front of
her.
The man was handsome and looked intimidating. There was a cold, domineering air around him as
well.
He donned a cool black outfit. Behind him were two subordinates who looked equally intimidating.
Sienna was stunned speechless by the sight.
Nathan exchanged eye contact with her for a brief moment. Then he said, “I’m looking for Suzanne
York.”
He didn’t just look good, even his voice sounded magnetic. She forgot to ask him who he was or why
he was looking for Suzanne, let alone if he was a good or bad person.
One word from him, and she proceeded to open the door
dazedly.
“Suzanne is inside.”
Upon hearing Nathan’s voice, Suzanne’s heart trembled violently. She shoved the entire apple slice
into her mouth out of fear and immediately got up and tried to hide.
She just got up and walked out of the room when the man
walked in.
The living room was small–there was little distance between the pair.
With nowhere to hide, she put on a calm demeanor and
looked at him.
Her cheeks were round and stuffed with food. Nathan
looked at how adorable she was and felt his heart soften
while also feeling pained and resigned.
It had been two days, and he missed her like crazy. His gaze swept across the mac and cheese on the
table, and felt another pang in his heart.
Sienna invited the other men in as well. However, they rejected her offer and stood guard outside.
Hence, she
closed the door and walked toward Nathan.
“Excuse me, sir, who are you? What business do you have with Suzanne?”
Nathan’s gaze was fixed on his wife’s indifferent
expression. “Her husband. Please leave us. I have
something I’d like to say to her.”
Sienna was flabbergasted. Nathan had told her to leave her own house?
She stared at him in disbelief and wanted to say something in return. In the end, she obediently picked
up her plate and or behind her. left the living room gloomily, shutting t
Suzanne hung her head low. She chewed the apple in her mouth and slowly swallowed it. Standing
there nervously, she was unsure of what to do.
