The Wrong Woman
Chapter 223

The light in Nathan’s eyes dimmed in the face of the disappointment. Suzanne noticed the change inhim and grappled with guilt as though she had let him down.

Nonetheless, her guilt dissolved once she thought about his affair with Sally. Besides, she didn’t plan totell anyone, including Nathan, about the fact that she wasn’t Suzanne, that she was still searching forher real identity.

With that in mind, she sat up in bed and combed through her hair. “I don’t want to spend my life with ajerk like you.”

He sat up in bed just like she did. Bending over and lowering his head, he ruffled through his hair andlet out a long and soft sigh.

He began helplessly, “This isn’t the first time you called me a jerk. Give me a reason why.”

She lowered her head in silence. Pinching the hem of the blanket, she sank into thoughts.

He added, “I can only change if you tell me

at’s wrong.”

Feeling oddly calm, she claimed, “You only have eyes for your first love.”

Hearing that, he sighed and protested helplessly, “But you’re my first

love.”

Caught by surprise, she paused for seconds before saying, “What nonsense is that?”

He stared at her. “That’s not a good reason to call me a jerk. Any other reason?”

“When you were injured, you insisted on getting Sally to live with you, even when I was by your side.You-

He cut her off. “I brought her over to the Norvanian military on strictly professional terms. It had nothingto do with my private life.”

The more he argued, the more absurd she found his excuses. She confronted him, “How about thehugging in the patient room? Was that strictly professional too?”

It was at that moment he finally grasped the reason Suzanne left without a word and her insistence ongetting a divorce.

So, that was the misunderstanding. Fortunately, she failed to keep her thoughts to herself and blurted itout to him.

Nathan sighed again and explained, “She threw herself at me. Did you stumble on that scene?”

Men were full of bullshit. That was too much of a coincidence.

Feeling aggrieved, she turned her face away from him, pouting and tearing up.

than added, “There is a surveillance camera in the VIP ward. I’ll get neone to show you the footagelater.”

She mumbled dejectedly, “I won’t watch it.”

“Well, you shouldn’t suspect me if you refuse to watch the footage. If you doubt me, you should giveme a chance to prove my innocence.”

She grabbed the blanket tighter and hung her head in sadness. Like a kitten, she purred softly, “I gaveyou a final chance, but you didn’t cherish it.”

She had lost all hope in Nathan when he gave up on her in favor of saving Sally from drowning. Thehugging incident at the VIP ward killed off any remaining longing for him. She was utterly dismayed.

A splitting headache crept up Nathan’s head. He plunged backward into the bed. He was bad atdealing with relationship conflicts and terrible at coaxing women.

Chubs had no memories of him anymore. Not only that, she had lost all her love and trust in him.Despite trying to explain himself and show her evidence, she refused to listen.

Was she hell-bent on accusing him of cheating and getting a divorce?

Resting a hand over his closed eyes, he questioned with a heavy heart, “Why did you even marry me inthe first place?”

Taken aback, she didn’t have an answer for him. The two sank into a brief silence.

He pressed on, “Did you marry me purely because you needed a man to depend on once you hit thesuitable age? Did you regret your decision to marry me after replaceing out I was a boring, busy,

usy, and

unromantic man who couldn’t get over his first love and failed to fulfill your ideals of a husband?”
