Chapter 140

Feeling flustered under Nathan’s gaze, Suzanne nervously offered, ” Would you like to have some
too?”
Nathan shook his head in silence. Conflicted, Suzanne bit her lip and glanced downward.
Summoning courage after taking a deep breath, she tasted a piece of diced steak, finding it savory and
delicious. She then earnestly
enjoyed the steamed egg custard and salad.
Gradually, she marveled at Nathan’s culinary skills, wondering if there was anything he couldn’t do.
Midway through her meal, Nathan’s voice broke the silence. “You’re not willing to share a room with me
tonight?”
Suzanne froze, her heart racing as she chewed on her steak. She caught off guard, unsure how to
respond. The idea of sleeping separately hadn’t even crossed her mind.
She had secluded herself all day, grappling with the uncertainty of facing Nathan. She never
anticipated him to broach the subject so directly, showing no signs of embarrassment or remorse.
Nathan’s lips curled up slightly as he observed her tense expression, forming a bitter smile. “I’ll move to
the guest room,” he said quietly.
Before Nathan could respond, she blurted out, “No.”
Her tone was anxious, catching Nathan off guard. He lightly furrowed his brow, looking at her with a mix
of anticipation and confusion.
Suzanne feared Sally might replace her during the night. The thought terrified her. She couldn’t bear
the agony of betrayal and infidelity.

With a hint of delight, Nathan said, “Alright.”
With her face flushed red and her head hung low, Suzanne continued in a voice barely above a
whisper, “Nathan, please don’t touch me tonight, okay?”
As she spoke, her heart pounded with embarrassment and
awkwardness.
Upon hearing her words, Nathan’s hand instinctively clenched into a fist, and a fleeting hint of sadness
passed through his eyes. Suzanne’s straightforward rejection hurt him deeply.
Without saying a word, he hummed in response.
Feeling a sense of relief at Nathan’s reply, Suzanne finally felt at ease. However, the sound of a chair
being pulled interrupted the
moment.
She looked up only to see Nathan leaving the dining table, ding toward the living room, and then up the
stairs.
Uncertain if she had said something wrong, Suzanne couldn the feeling that Nathan was upset.
After her memory was lost, Suzanne had no sexual experience she knew she wasn’t a naive girl
anymore. She saw no need to c fiercely to her virginity. If Nathan accepted her past, she wished build
beautiful memories with him in their marriage.
However, she needed to go to the hospital for a thorough
examination. After all, Nathan had delved into her three past cases of sexually transmitted diseases,
and her best friend Sienna had mentioned the hefty sum of money for the treatment.
Though she hadn’t felt any discomfort in the past three years, for Nathan’s sake, she wanted to
undergo a comprehensive examination before intimacy.
After supper, Suzanne returned to the room. Nathan was already asleep on the bed..
Unsure if he was dozing off or deeply asleep, Suzanne dared not
make a sound. She quietly turned off the lights and went to wash up. Half an hour later, she emerged
from the bathroom and cautiously climbed into bed.
Lying beside Nathan and listening to his steady breathing, Suzanne’s heart swelled with happiness.
She didn’t dare to be too greedy, only hoping that Vera would live longer until the age of 120. Only then
could she and Nathan spend 50 years together as husband and wife.
