The Wrong Woman
Chapter 349

Nathan’s smile was bitter. He seemed truly dejected.

Mila noticed his mood and felt sad as well but she had to face the reality. Her voice trembled as shespoke, “Nate, I’m returning to Sunterland after I’ve explained everything to my grandparents at HoffisManor.”

A dark storm of clouds hovered over Nathan and for a while, he was unable to speak. He only stared atMila. She couldn’t bear to look at him, so she quietly lowered her head.

“I renounce the inheritance of the Hoffises. My only wish is for my grandparents to live a long life.Regardless of whether their wealth goes to the land or others, I won’t be returning to Norvania,” Milasaid.

“Aren’t you going to replace your parents?” Nathan asked.

“I will. They’re probably in Sunterland if they’re still alive.”

Nathan could no longer replace a reason to keep her. His heart throbbed with pain as if stabbed bydaggers and tears welled in his eyes. He looked up at the dreamy, star–studded ceiling and took adeep breath.

Mila kept her head down, feeling helpless. Only the distant sounds filled the air.

Eventually, everyone left the party, leaving only a few waiters cleaning up the venue. Phoebe had leftsome time ago but she was still watching them from a distance. She felt sorry for them and wishedthere was something she could do to help.

Nathan let out a heavy sigh and asked, “Wanda, can we at least keep in touch, not to talk about work,but just to let me know how you’re doing?”

Mila covered her face with her hands and shook her head. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to keep intouch but the country’s rules didn’t allow it.

As a researcher with important duties and access to state secrets, it was forbidden for her to haveprivate contact with military officials from other countries.

“I can wait another five years. Can you please get in touch with me then, even if it’s just once? ΠNathan’s voice choked with emotion.

Tears streamed down Mila’s cheeks as she looked at him in disbelief. She couldn’t understand why hewas willing to wait another five years as if he knew something about her.

He’d waited ten years for her and gotten nothing.

Mila wanted to ask but her throat tightened. She couldn’t bring herself to speak for fear of breakingdown in tears.

Sensing her confusion, Nathan stifled his pain as he spoke, “I’ve found out who you

you are. I understand you and I respect you. I will not stand in your way or hold. you back. ”

Mila’s tears stopped as she stared at him in disbelief.

Nathan didn’t want her to see his tears. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and buried his head inher shoulder. He closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of her hair as tears trickled

down his cheeks.

He whispered, “You’ll always be my dearest Wanda, even if you’re now the great researcher,

Mila.”
