Chapter 505

Nathan was furious. He clenched his fists and wondered if Fenna was being loud on purpose.
He feared that if Mila were in his room, she might hear Fenna and be overcome by jealousy and start
overthinking. Mila was pregnant, so her emotions were already haywire.
Nathan didn’t know how to deal with Fenna’s crush on him. The mere thought of Mila being in his dorm
made him lose interest in Fenna. Longing for Mila, he quickly returned to his dorm.
The door swung open as he was about to enter the code on the keypad. Mila was there with a bright
smile.
Nathan smiled back and gazed at her intensely. He closed the door, lifted Mila, and they went into the
dorm together.
Mila put her arms around his neck and pretended to be upset as she said, “I just overheard Fenna
confessing her feelings for you.”
“I’ve turned her down. Don’t worry about it.” Nathan brushed it off.
“Can I not be worried if another woman’s interested in my husband?” Mila asked with a sigh.
Nathan carried Mila to the couch and sat down beside her. He kissed her forehead and changed the
subject. “When did you get here?”
Mila didn’t push further when she noticed that Nathan was trying to move away from talking about
Fenna. “Il came after lunch and spent some time checking out the blueprints.”
“What blueprints?”
Mila pointed to the stack of blueprints on his bedside table. They were for the latest fighter aircraft.
Nathan grinned in response. He cupped her face tenderly as he leaned in for a kiss. Mila pushed
against his chest and pulled away. “Oh, don’t. You’re always kissing me when I’m around.”
Nathan offered a bitter smile. “lt’s hard seeing you. Besides, what else can I do other than kiss you?”
Mila giggled. Then, Nathan leaned in again to kiss her lips. She closed her eyes and surrendered to the
moment as he kissed her passionately. It was late at night, and the room felt
warm andtcomfortable. Nathan took
off his jãuket, feeling feverish from
kissing her. Eventually, he coufedn’t

Finding the heat unbearable, Nathan said, “I’m going to shower. You can get some rest on the bed.” He
undressed and went into the bathroom. Mila thought Nathan was funny. He had kissed her first, and
now he was fighting his urges.
“Nate, how much will the new fighter cost? Tens of billions?” Mila asked loudly.
With the door-to the bathroom still
open, the sofad of running water
and Nathar’s voice could be heard
from inside. “Yes, it’Il cost several”

Mila went over to the bathroom door and leaned against the wall. The scent of shower gel wafted out,
and she blushed at some random thoughts. “Do we have a technical engineer for that?” Mila asked.
“Yeah, but she’s pregnant. So, we’ll have to plan the project first and wait,” Nathan replied calmly.
Mila smiled and gently touched her growing bump. A mixture of emotions flooded over her.
Nathan cared for both his country
and his family. But he seemed toqsút
their cKild and Mila first. He was
Willy to wait on national isgues if it
didh’t affect the fundamentals.
Just then, Mila’s phone rang. She sat on the couch and picked it up from the table. It was Sienna
calling her.
“Hey, Sienna,” Mila answered the call.
“I’m sorry to bother you so late, Wanda,” Sienna said softly.
“That’s okay, I’m still up. What’s going on?” Mila asked.
