Nathan and Mila didn't answer the question. Everyone felt the tension between them but didn't want to pry into their matters.Nathan had been busy, and Mila was recovering from childbirth, so they hadn't been able to spend much time together or communicate. This was out of the ordinary, and everyone noticed.As the awkwardness lingered, Fenna approached Nathan with a notebook and said, "Nate, I've got today's schedule organized."Mila's expression immediately soured. She set down her utensils, stood up, and announced, "I've had enough. You all enjoy your meal."The Morrison brothers watched her leave in surprise. Seeing that she had hardly eaten anything, they asked with concern, "Why aren't you eating much today?"Mila didn't reply and walked away. Nathan usually would have assumed she was avoiding him, but now he realized her aversion was directed at Fenna.He took a deep breath to quell his rising anger before asking in a steely tone, "Do you think my instructions are a joke?"

Mila handed Phoebe something that looked like a gun and said, "Here, take it.""A gun? Isn't that risky?" Phoebe was startled. She knew that it was against the law to own a gun in Norvania, and using one to hurt someone could result in the death penalty.Mila gave Phoebe a special mask and explained, "No bullets are in this gun. It's a chemical weapon I made and it's filled with ether, an anesthetic used on patients. It won't hurt anyone when it hits."The ether would spread through the air as soon as it was fired. Breathing even a little can make someone pass out."Phoebe looked at the weapon, then at Mila in awe. "Mila, you're amazing."Mila put on her mask and warned, "Be careful using it. After firing, hold your breath for 20 seconds so you don't breathe it in.""Got it," Phoebe said as she watched the men approach.Phoebe and Mila got out of the car at the same time. Phoebe pointed the gun at the men who were approaching them. All of them froze when they saw the gun.Mila

Nathan was willing to explain. His only fear was that Mila would misunderstand him even more if he did.Just when he wasn't sure if he should speak, Phoebe suddenly blinked at him and asked, "General Morrison, are you really avoiding Mila's calls and even turning off your phone?"Suddenly nervous, Nathan blurted out, "My jacket was with Fenna's and my phone was in my jacket pocket."Mila's face grew sour. She didn't expect him to care so much about Fenna. She pressed her lips together, breathed deeply, and looked gloomily out the window.Phoebe paused briefly before she asked, "Did Fenna turn off the phone on purpose?""I asked her, but she denied it," Nathan replied."Do you believe Fenna?""Believe her or not, I have no proof she did it.""Still, this is really out of line," Phoebe muttered unhappily.Nathan looked at Mila nervously. His eyes were filled with deep regret. The atmosphere in the car fell into silence again. Suddenly, Mila turned around with a steely look and

Mila was surprised by how quickly and ruthlessly Nathan had acted. Back in the room, she sat in the wicker chair on the balcony. She gazed absentmindedly at the landscape before her. Countless thoughts poured into her mind.She pulled out her phone and opened Nathan's chat. As she scrolled through, she looked at all the voice messages he had sent, none of which she had bothered to listen to. She only spared a glance at the text messages he sent.Yet, curiosity led her to click on a voice message from a month earlier."Wanda, I'm truly sorry for what I did to you and our baby. I know I messed up. You don't have to forgive me, but please don't shut me out, okay?""The nurse told me you're struggling with breast engorgement, and I wish I knew how to help. I'm worried and outside your room, can I come in?""Wanda, are you feeling better? Can I come with you tomorrow to see our son?""Wanda, I made a mistake and I really want to make it up to you. Can you please tell me how I can ma

The curtains blocked out the light well. The room went dark when Nathan closed them. Mila seemed to be uncomfortable as he got into the bed. She moved away and turned her back on him.It made Nathan sad to see her like that. His eyes wandered silently over her long, flowing hair. He didn't think about crossing any boundaries even though he wanted her.Nathan knew they shouldn't sleep together too soon because Mila had just given birth. He always respected how she felt and didn't want to force her to sleep with him.Yet, he had longed for that intense pleasure ever since they had made love, and now it was harder for him to resist the urge. He found himself feeling restless and tortured.Nathan leaned closer to Mila with his eyes closed, finding solace in the subtle scent of her hair shampoo. Mila lay still. Only then did she realize Nathan had refrained from touching her while awake. He only kissed her and held her discreetly while she slept.Lost in thought, Mila eventually drif
