Suzanne slammed the door shut and yelled, "Don't look for me today! I need my space!"Nathan lingered outside while pursing his lips. Seeing Suzanne upset gave him a strange feeling—part sweetness, part helplessness.Suzanne leaned on the door while sorting through her thoughts. She loved Nathan but had doubts. She wanted to depend on him, but couldn't find the words to tell him.After thinking it over, Suzanne gave in and opened the door, only to find Nathan had already left. She searched around but couldn't find him. Disheartened, she sighed and went back to her room.As time passed, Nathan didn't make any effort to find her. He skipped meals and didn't return home at night. Suzanne waited for him in his study, but eventually, she fell asleep, only to wake up and discover Nathan was still nowhere to be found.Late at night, Suzanne pouted in bed while hugging her pillow in frustration. Thoughts of Nathan's whereabouts occupied her mind but she held back from texting him. She

No one knew who to trust, and suspicious glances were exchanged all around. Suzanne couldn't take it anymore. It was hard to believe that someone so shameless could exist in this world.With no proof to support her, Suzanne felt stuck. To make things worse, Sally started crying as if she was the one who got hurt the most. Just when Suzanne was figuring out what to do about Sally, she heard footsteps coming closer from behind."Nate..." Sally sobbed.All eyes turned to the door as Nathan walked in. Dressed in a sharp black suit that made him look both commanding and handsome, Nathan exuded a cool and collected presence. In his hands, he held a small bunch of zinnias.Nathan had just finished his work at the military base, but he hurried back without thinking twice. He was worried that Suzanne might be getting a hard time from Sally and the others, and he wanted to make sure she was okay.It was only at that moment that Nathan discovered Sally hadn't just committed the few wrongs

Nathan couldn't help but think about Sally, who was always immersed in her books. For her, books weren't just filled with facts, they were like brain food.Worried about disturbing him, Suzanne said, "E-books are easy to use now, and a lot of them are free. You should get some more sleep. I won't bother you."Nathan slowly released her hand. A mix of emotions swirled within him. Even though he cared about Suzanne, memories of Sally stuck around. Unintentionally, he found himself merging the two in his interactions with Suzanne. He set aside his thoughts and closed his eyes.Suzanne got up from the bed and grabbed a book. She eased into a chair and began to read while Nathan continued to get some rest. The tranquil ambiance in the room deepened the sense of calm.Now and then, Suzanne couldn't resist stealing glances at his peaceful sleeping face. Just looking at him made her feel warm and happy. These moments were like pure bliss, and she felt truly content.Nathan stirred after

Betty stomped her foot and shot an exasperated look at Dario. "Are you out of your mind? Are you drunk or something? One moment you're clear-headed, and the next, you're all blurry. If you're not leaving, then we are!"Dario pointed menacingly at Betty and Samuel. "None of you are allowed to leave. With me here, what's there to be afraid of, anyway?"Nathan could feel a headache building. If the commotion continued, Suzanne would probably wake up. Having such troublesome family members was truly pathetic. Nathan took out his phone and sent a message.Meanwhile, Dario continued making a scene in the living room for a couple of minutes until Cole walked in with a few strong-looking soldiers. They were armed with rifles and advanced toward Dario with stern expressions.Dario snapped out of his agitation in an instant. His legs gave way, and he dropped to his knees, trembling. "I-I'm sorry, s-sirs, I..."Samuel was also visibly shaken. He quickly helped Dario to his feet and whispered

As Suzanne approached the door, she looked back and made a little heart shape with her fingers. Her smile was so bright and sweet that it was just plain adorable.Nathan was surprised by her lovely gesture, and it made his heart fill with happiness and start beating fast. His cheeks turned red, and he shyly returned the smile.After Suzanne left, Nathan's heart sank. The roomy living room now felt empty and lifeless. Nathan found himself missing Suzanne already.Battling a tinge of loneliness, he paced a few steps before deciding to retreat to the study. Work seemed like the perfect remedy to distract himself from Suzanne's absence.…Suzanne spotted Betty at the Morrison residence entrance, her face bruised and swollen. Touched by empathy, Suzanne quickly called a cab to take Betty to the hospital.At the medical facility, Suzanne ensured that Betty underwent a comprehensive examination. When Betty realized she wouldn't have to pay for it, she readily agreed to the examination.
