Nathan walked up to Suzanne, gently taking her hand. “Move out with me, okay?”
Suzanne nodded repeatedly. Yes, of course she would. This house and the family members… She
couldn’t help but feel frightened at the thought of who might be the spy.
“Go upstairs and pack your things,” Nathan said softly.
“Okay,” Suzanne replied before rushing upstairs.
Everyone sat in the living room with grim expressions, while the air was heavy with tension.
Nathan picked up Suzzane’s suitcase. After bidding farewell to everyone, they left the Morrison
Residence.
Once they were in the car, Suzanne asked curiously, “Where are we going?”
Nathan leaned back in his seat, his gaze tender as he looked at her startled face. He asked cautiously,

home if she refused to stay in Sudvilla, too.
“It’s alright. I have no problem with that,” Suzanne answered with a

Nathan’s eyes softened, and he couldn’t help but reach out and tousle

Suzanne felt a hint of intimacy in his gesture, blushing slightly. Then, she added, “But, can you also

Nathan felt her soft chest pressed against him, his body tensed ntly. He looked down, eyes fixed on her

“Should we search Sudvilla too?”
“Of course.”
“Okay.” Suzanne revealed a satisfied and relieved smile.
As she slowly moved away, Nathan felt empty in his heart and a hint of reluctance. He murmured,

“It sounds more intimate. It’ll help to strengthen our bond.”
Suzanne blushed, shyly lowering her head and nodding. “Oh.”
Nathan looked at her delicate and fair face, unable to resist the urge to pinch her cheek. However, he
restrained himself and softly. explained, “Chubs, there’s nothing between Layla and I. Don’t let your

Looking at his nervous expression and earnest explanation, Suzanne thought that he cared about her.
