Chapter 248

As Nathan sat there bewildered, Suzanne reached out and took his hand. “Come with me,” she said
softly.
Nathan followed her upstairs. He was pulled along the way by her.
Once inside the bedroom, Suzanne locked the door and guided Nathan to the edge of the bed.
“Have a seat.” Suzanne’s voice quivered nervously.
Nathan complied, his gaze reflecting a hint of confusion as he looked at Suzanne. He noticed the flush
on her cheeks, her once-clear eyes now tinged with shyness and hesitation, with a nervousness that
hinted at mischief.
With a gentle touch, she pressed her hands on Nathan’s shoulders, gently pushing him down onto the
bed.
Leaning over him, Suzanne’s breath was uneve s she whispered, “I don’t know how to explain this to
you. I secretly checked the DNA between me and Betty. I’m not her biological daughter.
“You may have suspected that Suzanne is their adopted daughter. But I’m truly not Suzanne. The
doctor confirmed I’m still a virgin.” Suzanne’s voice trailed off, her embarrassment evident as her
cheeks flushed crimson.
She lay atop Nathan, her fingers trembling as she slowly undid his shirt buttons, her breath quickening.
“Let me prove it to you, I…”
Nathan’s gaze intensified, his throat tightening as he firmly grasped Suzanne’s hand.
His heart raced, though he tried to appear composed. “Chubs, I believe you, but don’t feel the need to
prove yourself this way.”
Suzanne blinked in surprise and looked at him with wide eyes.
Nathan shifted, positioning himself above Suzanne, his hand supporting his weight as he looked down
at her.
Even the simplest gestures of Suzanne’s flirtation left him parched, his mind racing and his body
burning with a heat that felt almost suffocating.
His usually composed voice took on a husky edge. “We’re husband and wife. Our closeness should be
a celebration of our love, not a test of innocence.”
Suzanne, feeling bashful, avoided his gaze. “I’m sorry. I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me because I
had destroyed the report.”
Nathan leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. “I trust you, but you must keep this between us.
For now, you must continue to be Suzanne.”
Suzanne nodded. “I know. I haven’t uncovered my true identity yet, nor have I found the one pulling the
strings behind. scenes.
“I’m in the light, while my enemies remain hidden. I’ll be in danger if they find out.”
Nathan smiled softly. “Smart.”
“What about the public backlash caused by the York family?” Suzanne inquired.
Nathan interjected, “I’ll handle it. Don’t need to worry about it.”
After a moment of silence, Suzanne spoke softly, “Nathan, I’m not Suzanne, so our marriage isn’t valid.
Nathan’s expression darkened, his voice turning cold. “What are you getting at?”
Suzanne pursed her lips, a faint smile on her face as she shook her head. “Nothing specific, just
speaking my mind.”
Nathan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then reached to
unbutton her clothes.
Suzanne nervously gripped his hand. “You-”
Nathan’s tone turned sour and displeased. “Solidify our marital
status, have a few babies, and then I’ll have you firmly tied down.”
