Nathan's hands curled into fists inside his pockets. Despite his discomfort, he still casually asked, "Was this before she lost her memories?"

"She's faking her amnesia," Oliver replied confidently. "She's just pretending that she forgot everything so that she can act like she doesn't know me. All because she still can't get over us breaking up years ago."

Suzanne's words flashed across Nathan's mind. He had asked her if she had ever been in love. Suzanne then answered that she had loved someone, but his heart belonged to someone else. They wouldn't have worked out.

Was she referring to Oliver?

Nathan took a deep breath. It felt like something was crushing his chest, but he couldn't explain the feeling. A moment later, he spoke again, "Her talent does not befit her birth family and experience."

Oliver chuckled. "Definitely. She's a league ahead of the others. You can't fit her into a stereotype just because of her family."

"True." Nathan looked at Oliver, his gaze sincere. "Wish

    When she arrived at the dining room, Suzanne took a plate from the counter. She then grabbed some fruit and salad from the buffet spread. After collecting a cup of tea as well, she made her way back to her room. When she reached her room, however, she suddenly stopped. Nathan was there knocking on her door, but then he turned to see Suzanne. They felt like strangers even when their eyes met.Nathan approached her and reached for her plate. "Let me help you with this."Suzanne quickly declined. "It's fine. I can bring it in myself—"But before she could finish, Nathan had already taken her plate from her.It would be awkward for Suzanne to take it back. So, she went to open the door instead.After they entered the room, Suzanne closed the door. Nathan scanned the room before placing the plate down on the dining table.Suzanne was cautious. She was always tense whenever she was alone with him. It was due to a mixture of nervousness and excitement.For the past week, she had been

    Did she just volunteer to feed Nathan with the fork that she had just been using? Suzanne must be going crazy.She snapped back to reality, forcing herself to put on a stiff smile. Awkwardness was written all over her face as she withdrew her hand. "Sorry, but I—"Before she could draw her hand back, Nathan grabbed her wrist and moved the piece of watermelon to his mouth.Suzanne stared dumbly in shock as she watched Nathan’s lips touch her fork. Did this count as an indirect kiss? She had used that fork just now.Her face heated up at that thought. Her heart raced as her body tensed up. She felt uneasy because of this.Nathan, however, was unperturbed as he chewed on the watermelon before swallowing it. "It’s quite sweet. Pity that it was such a tiny piece."Suzanne pressed her lips together and lowered her head. She didn’t dare to look directly at him."I’m sorry, I forgot that I had just been using that fork…" she whispered.Suzanne felt the urge to apologize.Nathan hadn

    Nathan managed to rein in his emotions before looking at Suzanne again. His gaze landed on the exposed area above her collar. When Suzanne leaned forward toward him, she didn’t notice that her collar had loosened. Her chest could be seen peeking through the gap of her clothes.Nathan shifted his gaze away, his lips parting as his breaths quickened. He felt odd. This foreign feeling was new to him, but he wanted more. He prided himself on his control, but now even that seemed like a joke."Is that all?" Nathan’s voice had turned low and husky."Yes, that’s all," Suzanne replied.Nathan reached out and gently pushed Suzanne back to her seat. He attempted to change the topic, but Suzanne’s eyes were just so beautiful. Her skin was flawless and her lips were lovely.His face burned. As he eyed her lips, his Adam’s apple bobbed. Even swallowing did nothing for the heat in his cheeks. He wondered if he was going crazy. Was he actually lusting over Suzanne?He mulled over this; he

    Suzanne hastily picked up her book again. Her face burned as her gaze flitted around the room. Despite that, she still couldn’t stop herself from stealing glances at Nathan’s body.She hid her face behind her book. For the first time, her voice cracked. "W-why didn’t you put some clothes on first?"Nathan dried his hair with another towel. Once he was done, he walked over to her. "I’d have to take them off again after that. That’s too much trouble," he said with a husky voice.Suzanne understood what he meant, and she was taken aback by this. Her innocent eyes met his dark ones, but she quickly averted her gaze."Why do you have to sleep naked?" she asked, nervous.Surprised, Nathan fell silent. He looked at Suzanne’s clueless, shy expression.Oliver had said that she was faking her amnesia. So was she feigning her lack of knowledge and inexperience as well?As Nathan mulled over his thoughts, Suzanne hastily pointed at the closet. "There are some clean clothes inside that c

    Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door.Nathan stirred awake and glanced at the peacefully sleeping Suzanne. Hurriedly, he lifted the covers and got out of bed. He then headed toward the door."General..." Cole was about to greet Nathan, but the latter looked serious as he made a slow and hushed gesture with his finger, indicating to Cole not to make any noise.Cole was taken aback, wondering when Nathan became so considerate.Nathan looked back at Suzanne to ensure she wasn't disturbed, before slowly walking out and gently closing the door behind him.Once again, Cole was dumbfounded, unable to process this attentive side of Nathan.After closing the door, Nathan lowered his voice and said, "It's so early. What's the matter?"Cole thought to himself that it was already past seven in the morning—wasn't that considered late? Nathan was usually up by seven for morning exercises.However, he kept his questions to himself and quickly got to the point. "General Morrison

    "Our plan was simple. We wanted to conduct research on this chemical and develop the greatest bio-weapon in the whole world, gaining global acknowledgment, that's all," Alan said. "But we never imagined that this thing would be worth five billion dollars per bottle, desired by virtually every country. It has turned into our death warrant."He continued, "George lost his life because of this. Similarly, I almost got killed by bandits yesterday. I don't want it anymore; you can take it."While listening to Alan's words, Nathan fell into deep thought. He still couldn't believe that the person known as "Winkler" turned out to be a young girl.Cole, on the other hand, was busy listening and recording Alan's statements. After Alan was done speaking, Cole continued his barrage of questions. "Where is Mila from?""Sunterland.""How old is she?""I'm not sure. But I heard from George that she developed the first batch of hydronium when she was only 19, and the chemical is named after

    Alan nodded. "Yes. But I'm unable to understand its principles at all. Without Mila, this thing is worthless."Nathan glanced at Alan and observed him closely. After a while, he stood up with the bottle in hand and said to Cole, "Let him name a price. I'm buying this thing."Then, Nathan promptly left the room.Alan panicked, quickly standing up and shaking his head. "No need. You don't need to pay me."However, Nathan was long gone. Cole approached Alan, saying seriously, "This thing is valued at five billion dollars per bottle. As long as it doesn't exceed that price, you can name any amount you like."Alan was stunned, finding it hard to believe that he could name any price below five billion dollars. After his retirement, his family had been facing financial difficulties, and his wife needed money for medical treatment. Life was tough, so he thought of selling this thing after boarding the ship.It had never crossed his mind that he would get billions of dollars. Even if he

    Nathan responded calmly, "I'll have to trouble you to take her home. She caused a huge scene at the military base last time, and now the researchers in the research department hold deep grudges against her. I can't handle it."Upon hearing this, Sally rushed over to him and huffed, "Nate, I don't want to go home. I also want to watch the drills."Nathan's attitude was firm as he commanded, "Go home with your uncle. Don't let your grandparents worry."Having said that, he led Suzanne toward the heavily armed military convoy.Sally watched Suzanne and Nathan leave with the convoy in a grand procession, a look of discontent on her face. She bit her lip and clenched her fists. Unknowingly, a fierce glint crossed her eyes.Wendy awkwardly smiled. "Well, um... Sally, let's take your uncle's car back."Ignoring Wendy, Sally forced out through gritted teeth, "Oliver, drive me to the military headquarters."However, Oliver's attitude was extremely indifferent. "I have to work tomorrow;

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
