Chapter 145

However, Suzanne’s appreciative words grated against Nathan’s ears harshly. The temperature around
them seemed to drop below.
freezing point from his icy demeanor. They locked eyes, but neither of them said anything.
Suddenly, Sally’s voice came from the guest room, “Nate, I specially decorated the room for you. Come
and see if you like it.” She walked over to Nathan and linked her arm with his.
However, Nathan’s expression remained impassive as he pushed Sally’s hand away. He turned and
walked over to the door of the guest room in silence.
Sally took two steps toward Nathan. Then, she glanced back at
Suzanne and shot her a provocative smirk. She looked smug, if she had triumphed over Suzanne.
Suzanne didn’t let her get away with her. She retorted, “Nathan moving in to sleep with you. What’s
there to be proud of?”
Sally was completely dumbfounded when she heard Suzanne’s words. She never expected Suzanne
to call her out and interpret he expression so directly.
Nathan heard it as well. He turned to glare at Sally.
Sally forced an awkward smile and explained herself in a gentle voice, “Nate, I didn’t mean to. Suzanne
must have misunderstood my
intentions.”
A look of disgust flashed in Nathan’s eyes, and he walked into the
guest room without saying another word. When Sally attempted to follow him, Nathan loudly closed the
door in her face, leaving her standing outside awkwardly.
Suzanne paid no attention to Sally. She returned to the master
bedroom and closed the door behind her as well. It was the first time she realized how spacious the
room was, and her restless heart felt just as empty.
It seemed like something was missing.
That night, Suzanne tossed and turned as her thoughts were filled with Nathan. She also thought about
her true identity and the difficult path ahead.
Previously, she had no direction. She was constantly in a state of self- doubt and confusion. Now, her
goal was crystal clear. She had to uncover the truth.
The next day, Suzanne got up as usual and washed up. After getting dressed, she came out of her
bedroom and went downstairs for
breakfast.
In the dining room, the six feet long table was filled with thers of the Morrison family. Even Duke and
Layla, who had move were back home. The atmosphere at the table was quite livel
Suzanne noticed the sly smile on Lindsey’s face, and she had a ominous feeling that something
unexpected was going to ha that day.
Descending the stairs, Suzanne approached the table and greeted Nathan’s parents.
‘Suzanne, come sit down and have breakfast-”
Florence turned to point at the chair beside Nathan, but her words ended abruptly when she saw that
Sally had already occupied it.
Instead, Florence gestured toward a corner of the table awkwardly.” You can go and sit next to Layla.”

Layla crossed her arms and put on an arrogant expression. She declined coldly, “Don’t sit next to me. It
will ruin my appetite.”
Upon hearing her words, several people present suppressed their laughter discreetly and watched
Suzanne’s reaction with glee.
Nathan was eating his breakfast with his head down. He paused for a moment before biting down on
his food forcefully to stop himself from flying into a rage.
Suzanne turned to Nathan with a hopeful gaze. Unfortunately, she was let down by his indifference.
Nathan no longer defended her like he used to. He seemed to thoroughly despise her now!
Suzanne felt a pang in her heart. She couldn’t put a finger on the loneliness and disappointment she
felt.
She walked to the other end of the table and distanced herself fro everyone. After she pulled out a
chair and sat down, the staff broug out the food.
Breakfast in wealthy families was a lavish affair. However, Suzanne noticed that her breakfast today
was rather subpar. She only had two slices of dry bread on her plate.
She looked over at the others and realized her breakfast was vastly different from theirs. She was
being treated differently.
Just as Suzanne was peeking at what the others had, Lindsey spoke up pompously, “There’s no need
to look at others. I instructed the maids to arrange this breakfast for you.”
All eyes turned to look at Suzanne’s breakfast.
