The Wrong Woman Chapter 123
Suzanne picked up the phone, greeted by the soft voice of a woman on the other end."Hi, Suzanne. It's Sienna. Remember me?" the voice asked."Sienna?" Suzanne blurted out in confusion, causing Sally to tense up and anxiously eavesdrop on the conversation."I hope you don't mind, but I got your number from your mom. I've really hit a dead end," Sienna confessed.Before Suzanne could respond, her phone was suddenly whisked away. Startled, she whipped her head around to find Sally holding it and shot her a disapproving glare.Looking rather nervous, Sally retreated a step and abruptly ended the call. She then offered an apology, "I'm sorry, Suzanne, but Nathan and I are deeply in love."Suzanne eyed Sally suspiciously, wondering about her sudden behavior. Pushing down her anger, she reached out her hand and demanded, "Give it back!"Florence, witnessing the scene, was puzzled by Sally's actions as well. She hurriedly rebuked, "Why did you do that, Sally? Suzanne was on a call."S

Before heading to the hospital, Suzanne made a brief stop at the nearby grocery store and picked up a fruit basket as a gift. She then navigated her way to the oncology ward, guided by the address Sienna had provided. Upon reaching the ward, Suzanne took a moment to compose herself before softly knocking on the door. When there was no response, she gently pushed the door ajar.Inside the narrow room, six occupied hospital beds filled the space. Suzanne scanned the room, uncertain which bed belonged to Sienna's father. Suddenly, a sweet-looking woman sporting black-rimmed glasses and clutching a water bottle popped up from the corner.Observing her youthful appearance, Suzanne deduced that the woman must be Sienna. She approached the woman with a warm smile. "Are you Sienna?"Dumbfounded, Sienna nodded slowly. "Yes, I am. And you are?""I'm Suzanne," came the reply.Hearing that, Sienna studied Suzanne's face for a long moment. Meanwhile, Suzanne placed the fruit basket on a

Suzanne rushed to clarify, "It's not about the divorce. I just need a moment of your time.""Go ahead." To her surprise, Nathan seemed to have softened—his voice devoid of its earlier coldness.Suzanne glanced at Sienna, who wore an anxious and solemn expression. Gathering her courage, Suzanne took a deep breath and asked, "Can I withdraw six hundred thousand dollars from your account? I'll repay you, I promise."Nathan replied swiftly, "No need to pay me back. It's your card. Use it as you wish.""Thank you, Nathan." Warmth flooded Suzanne's heart, yet she still felt uneasy and guilty despite Nathan's reassurance.The conversation lapsed into another silence. Sensing the awkward tension, Suzanne prepared to end the call, but Nathan spoke up."Did something happen?" he inquired.Suzanne struggled to explain her situation to him, reluctant to burden Nathan further when he was already overwhelmed with work."It's fine. I can handle it." She asserted, to which Nathan hummed in res

The clock struck noon as Suzanne made her way back to the Morrison Residence. She deliberately arrived late in hopes of avoiding any encounters with Sally. Yet to her surprise, Sally was still in the house.Upon entering, Sally approached with a feigned smile. "Welcome back, Suzanne."Suzanne cringed at the sound of her name on Sally's lips but maintained her composure, considering Nathan's family was present."Mind joining us for a moment, Suzanne?" Florence beckoned.Suzanne exchanged pleasantries with her in-laws before Wendy ushered her to the couch with Sally trailing behind.The air crackled with tension, evident in the troubled expressions of Florence and Gary, and the hesitant speech of the others. Sensing something amiss, Suzanne had a bad hunch.When Florence hesitated once more, Suzanne decisively asked, "Is there something you need from me, Florence?"Forced to respond, Florence wore a strained smile and deferred to Gary. "I'll let Gary speak for me."Shocked, Gar

As she studied, Suzanne felt like some contents of the books looked familiar and that she must have read them before. Now that she was re-reading them, they left a strong impression on her. The Morrison family staff were so shocked seeing her studying so intently that they whispered about her among themselves. "Mrs. Morrison must have been an excellent student. She must have gone through at least hundreds of psychology books in half a month!""I saw her studying till late into the night. She probably intends to take the examination to qualify as a psychological counselor.""She's really focused when she studies! She didn't even realize that I went in to clean up the room. She gave herself a huge scare when she bumped into me when she got up to get herself a glass of water.""Yes, she's really impressive!"What Suzanne didn't expect was that in the days that she had busied herself with studying the psychology of women like Sally and how to deal with them, Sally had kept a low pr

People often claimed that unrequited love was an internal battlefield. Right at this moment, Suzanne couldn't agree more. She clearly missed Nathan so dearly with her entire being, but she was conflicted and afraid. She dared not even look at him openly, yet she stole countless glances at him from the corner of her eye. She clearly knew that he held another woman dear in his heart, and it pained her to know that. She hated and resented the fact, yet she could not bear to let him go. She clearly yearned for him to be back, and she was both elated and anxious that he was, yet she feigned calmness and nonchalance. She put so much effort into it so that he wouldn't notice any trace of her feelings for him, as though that would make her unrequited love less painful.The moment Nathan stepped into the living room, Sally rushed over excitedly. "Nate!"Caught off guard, Nathan was trapped in her embrace. Sally clung tightly to his waist, frustrating him. Nathan's brow furrowed as he
The Wrong Woman Chapter 129
Halfway through dinner, Suzanne suddenly remembered the mess she'd left in the study and the bedroom. Hence, she hurriedly went upstairs to clean them up. After she was done, she returned downstairs to finish her meal.She wondered where Nathan and Cole had disappeared to after heading upstairs. Could Nathan possibly not wish to share a room with her since Sally was there, so he decided to rest in the guest room?That was highly likely. When Suzanne returned to the dining table, everyone had already finished their meals and left. She sat down dejectedly and continued eating. She couldn't even taste her food due to her heavy mood. Over in the living room, after Sally set her phone down, she called out in an anxious and urgent tone, "Mrs. Morrison, I just called Lucas. He told me that Nate suffered a gunshot to his shoulder last night. "They had just extracted the bullet not too long ago. But Nate didn't want to be hospitalized and insisted on coming home."Florence covered her

Nathan slowly walked toward her and sat down on the other side of the bed. They had their backs toward each other, and Nathan rested his elbows on his thighs. He supported his head on his hands, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.The tension in the room was high, and he couldn't help but feel exhausted. Suzanne only asked him one question and didn't say any more. A while later, Nathan asked, "Why did Sally move in?"Suzanne smiled wryly. "She's moved in for more than half a month now.""And you didn't stop her?""I have no right to do that."Nathan fell silent. Moments later, he asked again, "Are you planning on taking a qualification exam?""No.""Are you comfortable staying here?""It's alright.""Did Sally make things hard for you?""No."After asking all he had to ask, the room fell into a deathly silence once more. The tension in the room was palpable.Nathan had tried to strike up a conversation with her by asking her so many questions, but she only gave hi
