Chapter 129

Halfway through dinner, Suzanne suddenly remembered the mess she’d left in the study and the
bedroom. Hence, she hurriedly went upstairs to clean them up. After she was done, she returned
downstairs to finish her meal.
She wondered where Nathan and Cole had disappeared to after heading upstairs. Could Nathan
possibly not wish to share a room with her since Sally was there, so he decided to rest in the guest
room?
That was highly likely.
When Suzanne returned to the dining table, everyone had already finished their meals and left. She sat
down dejectedly and continued eating. She couldn’t even taste her food due to her heavy mood.
Over in the living room, after Sally set her phone down, she call in an anxious and urgent tone, “Mrs.
Morrison, I just called Luca told me that Nate suffered a gunshot to his shoulder last night.
“They had just extracted the bullet not too long ago. But Nate didi want to be hospitalized and insisted
on coming home.”
Florence covered her mouth in shock as she teared up. “Last night? A. gunshot?”
She put everything down and rushed up the stairs, sobbing as she cried aloud, “Oh my goodness! My
son…”
Sally followed after her and went upstairs too.
Back in the dining room, Suzanne lowered her head. Her hands, gripping the cutleries, were frozen.
She trembled all over, and her heart ached for him. Nervousness and unease took over her as a
belated fear tightened its grip.
By the time she looked up again, Florence and Sally had already vanished upstairs. A tightness
clenched at her heart. She desperately wanted to see Nathan and check on how severe his injury was.
Suzanne didn’t return to her room straight after dinner. Not wanting to see Nathan and Sally being
intimate with each other, she went to take a stroll in the garden.
She stayed outside, admiring the night view late into the night, until she felt a little tired before she
returned.
As she pushed open the door to their room, she found the lights were turned on, but there was no one
in sight.
Suzanne shuffled her feet into the room, exhausted. Moving over to the bed, she sat down and
slumped over to her side, letting out a long
sigh.
Why wasn’t Nathan in the room? It was already so late at
Suzanne was certain he was in Sally’s room. She wonder nature of their relationship. Was it
polygamous?
That thought made Suzanne feel awful. She was both aggrie saddened.
All of a sudden, she heard the sound of the glass doors sliding o Suzanne’s eyes widened instantly as
she looked at the balcony in
confusion.

Nathan came in from the balcony, closing the glass doors behind him and drawing the curtains. He was
in a set of comfy pajamas.
From the back, Suzanne could see his broad shoulders and his neatly cropped hair. He looked
effortlessly handsome.
She couldn’t explain why she was taken over by nervousness, but her
entire body was taut. So, she gulped dryly and tried to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
Nathan turned and walked in after drawing the curtains. He then switched on the air conditioner with a
remote control and leaned against a shelf, fixing his deep and calm gaze on Suzanne.
When their eyes met, Suzanne was so nervous she felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her gaze slowly
traveled from his shoulder up to his striking face.
He had been shot yesterday and just had the bullet extracted. He should be in the hospital bed
receiving treatment, so why did he insist on coming back?
Eaten up by worry, all she managed was to blurt out, “Does it hurt?”
She was finally looking at him, finally speaking to him. A faint, bitter smile played on Nathan’s lips.
He’d been through all sorts of dangerous situations all the Bleeding and getting injured were

he
Suzanne nervously gripped the bedsheets tight. She had a mind walk up to him to check on his wound.
But all it took was a split second of hesitation, and she held back the urge. She hadn’t even stood up
from the bed.
Nathan’s gaze on her was intense. She didn’t know what she should say, so she quickly looked away.
