Chapter 215

If he revealed her identity before they apprehended Oliver and the imposter, she’d be in even more
danger as the sole heir to the Hoffis family.
Nathan was curious. What on earth did Chubs work as?
What job could possibly require her to discreetly shift nationalities. and not contact her family for ten
months in a year? She couldn’t even return to the country for ten years.
“Madam Hoffis, what did Chubs use to work as?”
She smiled at him. “Aren’t you constantly with her? Why don’t you just.
ask her?”
Nathan shot her an awkward smile in return. “She wouldn’t tell me.
“It wasn’t just me-not even her uncle or her parents knew what she was doing,” she sighed. “The pay
was low, and all she did was just work tirelessly. But one thing for certain, she worked for the
Sunterland government.”
Working for the government and being so private about it? The only occupation he could think of was
the one Liam had-an undercover
agent.
ut it didn’t quite seem that way, either.
After a few small talks, Nathan escorted Loretta out of the study.
When the pair passed by the living room, Suzanne was no longer on the sofa.
He started frantically looking around. After sending Loretta off, he asked Cole, who was standing guard
at the door, about her
whereabouts.
Cole said that he hadn’t seen her leave the residence.
He rushed back into the living room and sprinted up the stairs. He pushed the door to the main
bedroom open with a strong sense of urgency.
It shocked the woman in the room. Suzanne hastily stood up from the pile of books and observed his
expression sheepishly and carefully.
“I… I got these books, and I haven’t had the chance to read them yet. I just wanted to bring some back
to read.”
Nathan’s heart tightened, and the corner of his lips twisted into a bitter smile. He teared up instantly.
The woman he loved was still the same. She was still reserved, resilient, and eager to read and learn,
just like when she was younger.
What was he thinking before? How could he have not noticed and subjected her to so much injustice
and suffering?
He closed the door behind him and slowly walked over.
“You can read them at home if you want t he said in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing this, Suzanne put the book down. “I’ve been staying at Sienna’s recently, you know this.”
He exhaled in mild exasperation.
glanced at him anxiously and asked, “Did you have something to ay to me when you asked me to
stay?”
Unsure what to say, Nathan put his hands in his pockets.
wast
There much he couldn’t say or do. The situation was so complicated he didn’t know what was
appropriate to say..
She noticed his grim expression and understood his thoughts. She
put on a calm front and said, “It’s actually not that difficult to say. I understand completely.”
Nathan was puzzled. Understand what?
She continued, “We should get the divorce finalized soon. That way, you and Sally can be together
openly.”
Displeased, he frowned and asked, “What do you mean ‘be together openly”?”
Why was he still pretending? She’d seen and heard everything.
Since he couldn’t forget about Sally, divorce was the easiest solution.
Suzanne shot him a bitter smile and inhaled deeply. Her chest felt so congested it hurt.
“I visited Grandma two days ago. She’d lost all her cognitive abilities. She can’t recognize anyone and
has incredibly jumbled thought processes. She’s slightly incoherent too. The symptoms are getting.
quite bad.”
He felt dejected.
“You should go see her when you have th me.”
“Okay,” he replied.
“When are you free?”
