Chapter 298

Mila noticed Nathan’s bloodshot eyes were full of hope. She couldn’t bear to see him. disappointed, but
she dared not tell him the truth.
“Was there never any love between us?” Nathan asked. He pretended to be calm, but his voice
trembled slightly.
Mila bit her lip in restraint. Time passed, but she still dared not tell Nathan the truth. “What does this
have to do with you getting married to Sally?”
“I get it.” Nathan understood what she meant to say.
He forced a sour grin and dropped his head. A deep sense of gloominess washed over him.
Mila’s heart was bleeding. She knew Nathan wouldn’t get it. She loved him deeply, but their social
standing was too different.
She couldn’t be the bride of a Norvanian general. Marrying him would mean giving up research career
in Sunterland.
Love was truly insignificant compared to national affairs. She had already given up on inheriting the
fortune of the Hoffises, not to mention her love for him. 2

“Nate, you deserve a better woman. Sally doesn’t deserve you. She’s even taking advantage of my
identity. I won’t let you marry her.”
Nathan smiled unconcernedly. “She’s already used her connections to get your identification. papers
reissued at Sunterland.”
Mila was in disbelief.
Nathan continued, “She wouldn’t dare apply for citizenship in Sunterland, but she can use your ID to
get married in Norvania. So even if she doesn’t marry me, she can marry someone else and inherit the
Hoffises‘ fortune.
“You have only two choices–either tell everyone that you are Wanda Hoffis, or let Sally use your identity
to get married, and your grandpa’s will would take effect.”
Mila clenched her fists and angrily declared, “She can’t use my identity to marry you, absolutely not.”
It was eerily quiet, except for the sound of cicadas.
Mila’s words tore through Nathan’s heart like a thousand arrows. Hiding his pain with a smile, he turned
his eyes toward the pitch–black horizon. Tears blurred his eyes.
Mila didn’t notice anything wrong with Nathan in the dim yellow light. “I’ll reveal my identity if I can’t stop
her. I can always fake amnesia and keep fooling Oliver as long as I’m not making
him suspicious.”
“You’d rather risk revealing your identity than have Sally marry me with your identity, is that it?” Nathan
let the wind dry his eyes.
“Wanda Hoffis can never marry you.”
“Got it.” Nathan walked on. Mila hastened to catch up with him.
Heartbroken but calm, Nathan said, “I won’t marry Wanda Hoffis or Sally Hoffis since you don’t agree.”
“Thanks, Nate,” Mila replied softly.
Nathan stayed silent. The two walked through several scenic pathways and reached an
elegantly private room. All eyes inside turned to them as they pushed open the door. Mila froze on the
spot.
