Chapter 51

Nathan froze instantly. Suzanne was drenched in cold sweat as she
shivered.
Maybe he had done it out of pity, but Nathan didn’t resist her touch nor hesitate to cover her hands over
her ears again..
The next second, he seemed to hear the faint sound of crying. –
The soft sobbing sounds were coming from the woman in his arms. It was shaky and frightened, like a
wounded kitten alone in the wild.
Nathan could sense that Suzanne really was scared of such terrible weather and the loud sounds of
thunder.
It was the first time Nathan had been embraced in such a way by a woman. Suzanne’s body was soft
and supple. She exuded a faint fragrance too.
Nathan could feel his heart and his body react to this touch. He knew he shouldn’t have such
inappropriate thoughts. Yet he couldn’t control his body. The desire he felt was unbearable.
It was the first time Nathan heard Suzanne cry. The sounds she made were too similar to Sally’s when
she was a child.
The protective urge Nathan had hidden within him for ten years. suddenly arose.
After Sally returned earlier this year, she often cried and threw little tantrums. Nathan found himself
feeling irritated whenever he was consoling her.
Nathan had thought it was because he’d grown more distant now that he was older. He no longer had
those innocent feelings he had when he was a child.
But who knew Nathan would find those feelings again now from
Suzanne?
The room was so dark they couldn’t see anything. Outside, the thunderstorm didn’t seem to want to
stop anytime soon.
The warm air in the room was accompanied by the two’s slightly quickened breathing and heartbeats.
Suzanne slowly calmed down. She rested her head on Nathan’s chest, hearing his heartbeat.
She slowly stiffened when she realized her behavior was out of line. She wasn’t letting go of his waist
and was even curling up in his
embrace.
Nathan didn’t push her away and even helped cover her ears because he was being a gentleman,
probably
Suzanne slowly let go of him.
A sense of emptiness grew in Nathan’s chest when he felt the softness disappear from his waist. He
put his hands down and said in a hoarse tone, “Are you okay now?”
Suzanne couldn’t see his expression, but he didn’t sound angry.
“I need to look for my earphones. Thunder will strike again.”
“Why are you afraid of the thunder?””
Suzanne’s voice trembled. “I don’t know. I always get nightmares of someone shoving my head into the
ocean to drown me while a
thunderstorm goes on. It’s really scary. I get terrified.”
Nathan took out his phone and switched on the light. He then helped Suzanne search for the
earphones near the bed.
Nathan spotted a pair of earphones with good soundproof
technology on the other side of a pillow.
He knelt on the bed and helped Suzanne put the earphones on.
Suzanne felt much more relaxed with the earphones on. She quickly took her phone and put on some
music, dialing the volume up to the
max.
Suzanne curled up by the edge of the bed, wiping her tears.
Nathan used his phone light to look at the lightbulbs. He said slowly,” I’ll help you check the circuit
board and see what caused the blackout.
Suzanne couldn’t hear him with her earphones on.
Nathan used the phone to light his way as he walked out the door.
Suzanne rushed over, grabbing his clothes. Her voice grew louder while wearing the earphones, “Don’t
go, Nathan!”
