Chapter 47

Samuel was so frightened that his face went pale. He gritted his teeth while glaring at Suzanne angrily, though he soon backed away from
her out of fear.
“You really are something else, huh, Suzanne! Just you wait! I’ll definitely get my revenge!” he yelled.
After that, he turned and fled from the scene with his tail tucked between his legs.
Suzanne put her phone away while huffing in disdain. Clearly, she didn’t take Samuel’s warning to heart.
A tall and lean man, exuding dominance, could be seen standing amidst the crowd some distance away from the stall. It was safe to say that he was the most attractive man in the crowd based on his extraordinary charm and the way he carried himself.
Cole, who stood next to the man, remarked in a low tone, “Mr. Morrison, it seems that Mrs. Morrison has her own’principles.”
Nathan made no response to the remark. Instead, he headed over to the stall in huge strides. Cole quickly trailed after him.
Suzanne had just sat back down on the stool. She was about to work on trimming the roses’ thorns and leaves when she noticed a pair of long and slender legs before her.
Thinking that it was a new customer, she rose to her feet with a
smile. “Hello. Is there anything you ne-”
Suzanne swallowed the rest of her words, too shocked to see the
newcomer. At the same time, her heart started pounding
uncontrollably.
What was Nathan doing at Varia Avenue?
Suzanne scanned her surroundings curiously to see if there were any other military vehicles that were deployed on a mission.
Meanwhile, Nathan thought Suzanne looked cute whenever she was curious or shocked. He asked stoically, “What’s the prettiest flower you have for sale?”
Only then did Suzanne regain her senses and put down her roses. She asked, albeit nervously, “Are you planning to surprise a woman with the flowers? Or are you giving a bouquet to an elderly family member?
Η
Nathan didn’t hesitate to reply, “The flowers are meant for a woman.”
Jealousy tore through Suzanne’s heart instantly. Her expression crumbled slightly as well without her realizing it.
There were so many flower shops in the city. Why must Nathan travel all the way here just to buy flowers for Sally?
Was he doing this on purpose?
Suzanne grabbed a bouquet of white zinnias. “This flower bouqu suits your needs.”
Nathan accepted the white zinnias.
Even though they were husband and wife, Suzanne still intended to charge Nathan for the flowers. She stated openly, “That’ll be 20 dollars.”
Nathan didn’t hesitate to fork out a 20-dollar bill.
“Thank you,’ Suzanne said politely with a nod.
The distance between them was even greater than that between two strangers.
Nathan remained where he was after paying for the flowers. Upon noticing that, Suzanne asked curiously, “Is there anything else?”
He looked around him to see crowds everywhere on the avenue. Numerous people kept glancing at him.
“Let’s have a chat,” he said.
“Right here?” Suzanne asked.
“Pack up your things and close your stall.”
Nathan had always been domineering. He wasn’t the type to make a
request.
Suzanne hesitated for a moment. But I haven’t finished selling all
these flowers. They won’t look as good and fresh tomorrow.”
Nathan stuck his hands into his pockets, now shifting into a lazier/ stance. “I’ll buy all of them.”
His tone reminded Suzanne of something she had seen in the past. She tried to hold back her amused giggles as she gazed at Nathan with bright eyes.
“Are you imitating those domineering CEOS in romance dramas?” A hint of cheekiness laced the melodic tone of her sweet voice.
Nathan’s eyes darkened immediately. He had such an overbearing presence that he could easily send chills down everyone’s spines if he were to glare at them.
Suzanne felt that she had gone too far with the joke, so she quickly wiped her smile off her face and became serious.
“I’ll only sell these flowers to people who need them. There’s no need for you to waste your money on me just because you want to discuss something with me.”
Nathan turned to look at Cole. “Stay here and sell the flowers for her.”
“Yes, sir,” Cole responded politely.
Suzanne was stunned.
Nathan turned to look at her seriously. “Are you willing to leave with
me now?”
Noticing his serious demeanor, Suzanne felt inexplicably nervous. It must be something extremely important.
Nathan always looked cold and stoic. His visage was still frightening, even if he were to do nothing but stand there silently.
“Okay,” Suzanne replied meekly.
After packing up her personal belongings, she briefed Cole on the flower types and their respective prices. Finally, she left with Nathan.
Now that Vera’s birthday banquet was over, it was time for the couple to deal with their loveless marriage once and for all.
Nathan must have personally sought Suzanne out just to discuss the details of their divorce.
