Chapter 503

Lately, Mila had been receiving various food and supplies at the military base.
She got used to it until today when Cole came five times. He brought fruit and pastries twice each, and
finally, he brought some books. Mila thought it was strange. She initially thought Nathan was acting
oddly, but now it was Cole. The last time Cole came to Mila’s door, he had books With him, but he
seemed to be searching the dorm.
“Where’s Phoebe?” he asked.
“Phoebe’s inside. Do you want to come in?” Mila replied with a smile.
Cole hesitated, then handed the books to Mila and said, “It’s fine. Can you ask her to unblock me? I
need to talk to her.”
Mila liked the thought of Cole and Phoebe being together. She asked softly, “When did you upset her?”
“Must have been this morning,” Cole answered, his expression filled with concern.
Mila thought briefly before saying, “Then you’ll just have to wait. She’ll probably unblock you by
tomorrow. She usually only stays mad for a day at most.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Mila closed the door and entered the room. Inside, she spotted Phoebe snacking and watching drama
in the corner.
“Are you and Cole a thing?” she couldn’t resist asking.
Phoebe blushed and nearly choked on her snack. She was taken aback. She coughed while trying to
cover her mouth, then hastily denied, “Mila, that’s absurd! There’s nothing between us.”
Mila settled onto the couch, casually flipping through a book, and asked, “But don’t you have feelings
for Cole?”
Phoebe felt uneasy but pretended to be calm as she replied, “I don’t have feelings for him.”
“Well, Cole seems to have feelings for you.”
Phoebe’s cheeks reddened. “Il don’t care who he has feelings for. I wouldn’t be interested in a guy like
him. He’s not worth it,” she said irritatedly. Focused on her book, Mila asked casually, “What’s wrong
with him?”
Phoebe replied grumpily, “He’s too
friendly with everyone. He acts all”

Mila didn’t want Nathan to think she was a jealous person. If she let Fenna get to her, Nathan might
think she was being petty and causing unnecessary drama.

Feeling uneasy, Mila decided to take action. She closed her book and announced, “I’m moving to
Nathan’s dorm.”
Surprised, Phoebe asked, “Are you and Nathan okay now?”
Mila put down the book and went to her closet. She started tossing clothes onto her bed. “Phoebe, help
me pack.”
Grabbing a suitcase, Phoebe packed alongside her and asked, “Mila, what’s going on suddenly?”
Mila looked at Phoebe and explained solemniy, “If I keep arguing with Nathan, won’t that just be playing
into Fenna’s hands?”
Phoebe nodded and agreed, “Exactly. Fenna wants to mess things up between you and General
Morrison.”
“So, don’t take it out on Cole because of Fenna. It would only hurt him, and Fenna would be the only
one winning.”
