Chapter 203

Suzanne was caught by surprise. “What?”
He pointed at the inside of her thigh.
By coincidence, she was wearing a long skirt. She pressed her legs together and started blushing
nervously.
“Have you gone mad?” she exclaimed, embarrassed.
Nathan’s ears turned red as well. He forced a calm exterior and explained, I just wanted to know. I
didn’t mean to offend you.”

Her face was growing hotter. “Did you sneak a look under my shorts while I was asleep?”
The man felt like his entire body was on fire. Both his ears and neck were tinted red as he explained
hastily, “I’ve never done that.”
“Then how do you know?”
They grew up together. When they were kids, she donned a pair of extremely short shorts and showed
him herself by pulling them up.
“Do you really have it?” His expression was serious, and his tone was laced with a hint of nervousness.
“Is it on your right thigh?”
Suzanne glanced at him puzzledly. “Why do you ask? Have you figured out my true identity?”
“Your true identity?” he asked suspiciously.
She immediately pressed her lips together and shut her mouth. Her gaze drifted to the side and landed
on a bowl of grapes.
“I’ll wash this for you.” She picked up the bowl and headed to the bathroom.
Nathan immediately reached for his phone and texted Cole. “Have you
gotten the DNA samples of Sally and Mr. Hoffis Senior yet?”
Cole texted back, “Sally Hoffis is being extremely careful. Nothing from her yet. We have the samples
of her parents, though.”
“Bring it to the hospital. Find an excuse to take Suzanne’s blood and run it with the tests,” he instructed
through the text conversation.
“Yes, sir.”
Suzanne returned with the washed fruits. She set the bowl on the table and said, “Maybe you should
put your work aside for now. The doctor said you need more rest.”
He set the phone down and leaned back on the bed. He stared intensely at
her face.
Flustered, she asked, “Is there something on my face?”
He pressed his lips into a thin smile. “No.”
“Do you want some grapes?”
“No, it’s really sour.
“Is it?” She didn’t believe him. She popped one into her mouth and was instantly met with an
unbearably sour taste. Her teeth felt like they were about to fall off, and her face scrunched together.
Ur
eeing her adorable reaction, Nathan couldn’t help but laugh.
Cole brought the grapes to the hospital as a courteous gesture. Everyone in the military knew about the
grape vines behind the building.
The fruits were abundant, and the vibrant color made the grapes look
appetizing and tempting, but they were incredibly sour.
After she recovered from the taste, she opened her mouth to breathe and demanded angrily, “Why
didn’t you tell me it was this sour?”
Nathan looked at her innocently. “But I did tell you.”
“You should’ve stopped me before I actually ate it.”
He froze resignedly. The audacity of this woman!
His lips curved up into a small smile. “I thought you liked your grapes sour.
Suzanne sneakily picked one up and leaned toward him. She then asked in a small voice, “Do you like
sour grapes?”
“No.”
“You should try one too,” she said as she brought the grape to his lips. Her eyes blinked in anticipation.
Nathan’s heart wavered at the sight of her cute and playful demeanor, but he rejected her request out
of logic and reason.
“No.”
She tried to force the fruit through his tightly pursed lips. Then, her fingertips came in contact with his
cold lips.
At that exact moment, she felt a shot of electricity spread through her limbs from her fingertip. She
quickly became flustered. Nervous and shy, she froze for a few seconds.
A blush spread across her cheeks. She was about to retract her hand out of assment when the man
abruptly opened his mouth and ate the grape
out of her fingers.

His lips kissed her fingers.
The pair were both startled by an electrifying sensation.
Suzanne retracted her hand shyly. She felt awkward and didn’t know what
to do.
Nathan chewed on the sour grape. His mouth was filled with a sour taste,
but his heart felt sweet.
