The Wrong Woman
Chapter 271

Mila said, “Phoebe, I’ll stay at your place.”

Phoebe replied helplessly, “But I’ve been staying at a hotel all the time.

Frowning, Mila was shocked by the information. Phoebe inched closer with a smile and asked, “What’swrong with your place? Can’t we stay there?”

Mila mumbled in bitterness, “I divorced Nathan as ‘Suzanne.’ Since we’re no longer wife and husband,I don’t have a place to live now.”

Phoebe blinked, looking at her calmly. “Well, you can buy a house for yourself since you’re pretty rich.”

Mila sighed, “This is Norvania, not Sunterland.”

Phoebe slapped herself on the head and chuckled, “Gosh, I’m being silly. Your assets are inSunterland.

“As Suzanne York, you’ll definitely attract unwanted attention from the authorities if you transfer thatvast wealth to Norvania.”

Mila pressed her lips wryly. After a pause, she confessed, “Actually, I am in 600 thousand dollars worthof debt.”

Phoebe looked surprised. “Who did you owe it to?”

“Nathan Morrison.”

“Your ex-husband?”

“Yeah.”

“Why did you owe him money?”

“I borrowed money from him because my friend needed to pay for her

dad’s hospitalization fees. Since I didn’t have money, I paid for her using his card.”

Phoebe shook her head. After heaving a long sigh, she took a seat. beside Mila and remarked, “Mila,your friend could have borrowed the money for her dad from Nathan herself.

“Why did she have to make you do it instead? You’re too kind, even when you lost your memory.”

The light went out from Mila’s eyes. She looked out of the balcony and mumbled dejectedly, “I’m notkind. In fact, I’ve sinned a lot.”

“Look at you. You’re at it again.” Phoebe helped Mila up and said, Let’s go. We’ll stay at the hotel fornow.”

When they walked to the entrance, they saw Nathan approaching. them with an imposing air. His twoassistants followed closely

behind him.

Mila came to a stop. Phoebe was taken aback by Nathan’s intimidating presence and froze on the spot.

H

Nathan and Mila’s eyes met. They looked at each other tenderly. He

went up to her and asked, “Are you feeling better?”

Mila nodded and pressed her lips into a tight smile.

He explained, “I’m here to take you home.”

She declined, “It’s fine. I’ll stay at the hotel with my friend.”

Nathan glanced quickly at Phoebe before looking at Mila’s soft and aloof eyes. He knew that she musthave had other priorities from her past memories, and she decided to distance herself from him aftermaking a choice.

He pretended to be fine and asked casually, “Is there a chance we could get back together in thefuture?”

She sank into silence. Her heart throbbed in pain.

He pressed on, “Do you plan to return to your life three years ago?”

She bit her lower lip and reflexively grabbed the hem of her shirt to suppress the rising pain in herchest. Feelings of longing and desire. tormented her. Her rational mind cautioned her that there was nohope to get back with Nathan.

As an important chemist cum First Class System Engineer in the Sunterland Ministry of Defense, shewould need to serve her country.

Alas, Nathan was the top gun in the Norvanian military Armament Division. Although the two countriesweren’t enemies, they had conflicting interests.

Nathan was overcome by heartbreak at Mila’s silence. He asked softly, “Did you have someone youlove from three years ago?”

She finally mustered a soft and painful reply, “I’m sorry, Nate.”

He pursed his lips and smiled as tears welled up in his eyes. He’d never admit to crying over aromantic relationship.

Holding back tears, he turned to stare out of the corridor window. He could stop his tears from falling aslong as he avoided looking
