Chapter 99

“She’s someone very impressive!” Florence sighed helplessly.
Suzanne frowned with unease.
Seeing Suzanne’s lack of self-preservation, Florence couldn’t help but remind her again, “Even Nate
avoids her. Her return this time will
surely bring chaos to the family again.”
Suzanne was curious yet worried.
Florence felt her irritation grow. The two sat in silence for a while and neither struck up a conversation.
Suzanne tried to break the silence. “Mom, I noticed you were busy with the greenhouse. Is there
anything I can help you with?”
Florence suddenly remembered. “Oh, right! The flowers in the
greenhouse are all in bloom. If you have the time, please help me cut some and put them in vases.
Place them around the house when you’re done.”
Suzanne nodded with a smile. “I have time. How many vases do you
need?”
“The vases are already in the greenhouse. Come, let me take you there.” Florence subconsciously
grabbed Suzanne’s wrist and pulled her along.
Suzanne felt a profound sense of joy.
She was aware that her relationship with Nathan would either end with divorce or him killing her. That
future was inevitable. Still, Suzanne wished to get Nathan’s family’s approval while they were still
married.
Suzanne followed Florence out of the house. Just then, several military vehicles stopped in front of the
house.
Florence was overjoyed and rushed over excitedly. “Oh my! It’s my
son’s car!”
Suzanne’s heart raced uncontrollably. She stood frozen in place and watched as Nathan’s car came to
a stop.
Cole and Lucas were the first to get off.
Suzanne’s heart raced and she could feel every muscle within her tightening. Her breathing grew
erratic and her hands were sweating.
Nathan soon descended too.
After ten days, they finally met again.
He was as handsome as ever. Under the sunlight, he appeared dazzling and radiant.
“Hello, Mom.” Nathan smiled gently and hugged Florence.
His gaze was fixed on Suzanne before he got out of the car. However, he feigned indifference and
didn’t turn to her after getting out.
Florence patted Nathan’s hand in disbelief. “Why did you come back Don’t you know your aunt is
returning home tomorrow? Your brothers left with their wives this morning. Why did you come home?”
Nathan shrugged. “I know she’s coming back. But I happened to have a mission in Phoenicia.”
Florence sighed. “That’s unfortunate.”
Just then, Suzanne walked over and politely greeted him, “Hello, General Morrison.”
In Florence’s mind, Nathan and Suzanne were only a couple by name. Thus, she wasn’t surprised by
the distant greeting.
A shadow crossed Nathan’s features and he gazed at Suzanne.
His heart was already in disarray when he saw how Suzanne addressed him in the letter. However, it
was only when he heard it in person that he realized how distant and cold the term sounded.
His heart broke and he hummed coldly. “Hello.”
Suzanne lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze. She was afraid she might burst into tears.
Florence led Nathan in by the hand. “Is it a demanding mission? How long will you be here this time?”
“Just a few days. It’s nothing special.” Nathan noticed Suzanne
wasn’t following them and instead, turned in the opposite direction. He saw her walking toward the
greenhouse alone.
