The Wrong Woman
Chapter 121

After regaining her composure, Suzanne interjected firmly. “That’s enough, Nathan. We’ve alreadytalked things through. Let’s just put an end to this fruitless marriage.”

Nathan was taken aback by her words, feeling as though his heart had been wrenched from his chest.

Suppressing his emotions with a forced smirk, he approached the table and picked up the divorcesettlement agreement.

As he skimmed through the document, Suzanne quietly placed a black pen on the table andsuggested, “Once you’ve signed and submitted this, let’s get a divorce certificate at the city hall.

“I don’t want to prolong this any further, especially since I’m moving to another city.”

Nathan couldn’t believe Suzanne was planning to start anew in a different city. Was she truly set onmaking a clean break from him?

Frustration boiled within Nathan as he flipped through the agreement, yet he couldn’t bring himself toread a single word.

With a grumpy tone, he tossed the papers back onto the table and declared, “What’s written here isunacceptable. It needs to be

redrafted.”

Suzanne looked up at him in puzzlement. “What’s wrong with it? We don’t have children to consider,and I’ve stated that I don’t want any financial support. The clauses in this agreement favor you. Whatexactly are you unhappy with?”

Narrowing his eyes, Nathan asserted firmly, “That’s exactly it. If

people replace out I didn’t provide anything for my ex-wife, what will they

think of me as a man?”

Suzanne was speechless. She hadn’t anticipated his concern for his reputation and image.

After a brief silence, she relented. “Fine. Just give me some money

then.”

However, Nathan seized her wrist and yanked her up from the wicker chair. He snarled, “Are you soeager to divorce me?”

Suzanne found his reaction ridiculous.

Considering his evident affection for Sally and the message he had sent Suzanne, it seemedunmistakable that he intended to end his marriage. Or was he attempting to openly showcase hisaffection for Sally?

Growing distressed at the thought, Suzanne met Nathan’s gaze with determination and declared, “Youmight be right about that.”

Nathan felt a sharp pang in his chest as her words struck him. Just then, his phone abruptly rang.

He released his grip on Suzanne and pulled out his phone. Glancing at the caller ID, he turned away totake the call.

“We’ve got a major issue, Mr. Morrison! The weapons and gears prepared for the special forces havebeen stolen!” Cole’s voice sounded anxious on the other end of the line.

When Nathan heard the news, his face turned dark. He swiftly ended the call and headed towards thedoor.

Suzanne, though bewildered, kept her eyes fixed on him. Her heart sank with each step he took. Justas Nathan reached for the door handle, he halted abruptly and turned back to face Suzanne.

He was accustomed to handling things independently and not having

to justify his actions to anyone. Yet, he now worried that Suzanne might misconstrue his suddendeparture.

“I have to leave. There’s an emergency at the camp. We can discuss the divorce at a later time,” hestated curtly. With that, he opened the door and exited the room.

As the door closed behind him, Suzanne sank into the chair and

closed her weary eyes. Her heart throbbed painfully as if pricked by a

thorn.

She had never imagined that seeking a divorce would be so emotionally taxing

Despite knowing that Nathan didn’t love her, their marriage persisted

due to relentless circumstances, leaving her trapped in a deteriorating relationship.
