Chapter 249

Suzanne turned her face away as Nathan leaned in for a kiss. His lips. grazed the corner of her mouth
as she nervously murmured,” I need to take a shower.”
Suzanne’s body flushed with warmth, her cheeks burning with
embarrassment as she avoided his gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her heart pounding with
unusual intensity.
Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath before rising from the bed. Suzanne sat up and hurried
to the bathroom without a word.
Once inside, she immediately turned on the shower, trying to calm her racing heart as she took a deep
breath.
What had to happen would eventually happen, she reasoned. Since she’d already confided in Nathan,
he shouldn’t be bothered by her state.
With fewer worries, Suzanne washed herself
oughly. After all, it
was her first time, and she wanted to leave them both with a beautiful
memory.
Thirty minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom in clean pajamas. But Nathan was nowhere to be
found.
After searching the balcony and dressing room to no avail, her heart sank. She wondered if he was
occupied or if he had fled.
Suzanne left the bedroom and approached the study. The door was opened with Nathan seated at the
desk, engrossing in documents.
She raised her hand and considered knocking, but ultimately decided against it. Suzanne realized there
was no rush.
n the study, Nathan caught sight of Suzanne at the door, his mind
elsewhere as he blankly stared at the papers spread out before him.
It wasn’t until Suzanne began to leave that he lifted his head and watched her departure with a heavy
heart.
Nathan put aside the documents and closed his eyes. He sank back into his chair and took deep
breaths in an attempt to calm the turmoil
inside him.
Leaving abruptly wasn’t his usual approach. But he chose to flee to spare Suzanne from pain. Suzanne
was right. Once her true identity was revealed, their marriage would become void.
In a nullified marriage, he had no claim to touch her. Until he was sure of Suzanne’s feelings, he
couldn’t risk causing her any harm.
That night, Nathan avoided stepping foot into their bedroom. Meanwhile, Suzanne tossed and turned,
unable to find peace.
The next morning, Suzanne woke only to find the space beside her remained vacant. She got up and
freshened herself before exiting the
room.
Once she arrived in the living room, she inquired of the maid, “Have you seen Nathan?”
The maid replied, “Mr. Morrison went out after breakfast.”
“And where did he spend the night?” Suzanne asked.
“In the guest room.”
Suzanne’s lips tightened with bitterness as she nodded.
The maid continued, “Mr. Morrison instructed that Madam should
stay in since many reporters are waiting outside. If Madam insists on leaving, you should go with the
bodyguards.”
“Alright, I understand,” Suzanne responded listlessly.
She walked to the dining table and began eating breakfast. While eating, she checked the news on her
phone. Yesterday’s scandals about her were making headlines, but today, there was no trace of them
anywhere.
Suzanne searched the entire internet, using keywords like “General’s wife”, “Suzanne York”, and “the
York family”, but there was no sign of any of it. It was as if it had all been a figment of her imagination, a
dream that never truly occurred.
Nathan’s capability in purging the internet amazed her. Yet, despite his efforts, the gossip mill continued
to churn.
Just then, Suzanne’s phone rang. She answered, “Hello.”
“Hello, I’m from the Norvania News. May I speak to Ms. York?”
Without a word, Suzanne promptly ended the call. Moments later, the phone rang again. She hesitated
briefly before answering in silence!
The voice on the other end persisted, “Hello, I’m from the Citizen Channel…”
