The Wrong Woman

Chapter 71

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; several surgeries were lined up for me. I'm busy so take a cab back."

After that, he left with a gloomy face.

Wendy stood there, bewildered. Weren't Sally and Oliver very close? Why did they suddenly become so cold toward each other, and why did Sally call her uncle by his name?

Oliver drove away by himself, while Sally took a cab to follow

Nathan's convoy.

Left behind, Wendy stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend the

situation.

On the way to the frontiers, Suzanne sat in discomfort. Her eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the car window as she wondered where Nathan would drop her off. Anywhere near a subway or bus station would be best, so that she could easily return to Morrison Residence.

However, when they traveled out of Phoenicia, Nathan still didn't call for the car to stop.

Suzanne mustered the courage and turned to him. Nathan's side

profile was sharp and his facial features were admittedly charming.

As he sat in an upright posture, his tall figure exuded a dignified air that caused him to appear formidable and unapproachable.

After gathering her courage, Suzanne cautiously asked, "Are you really taking me to the frontiers?"

Natha snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at her. His tone was gentle when asking, "Do you want to go?"

Suzanne was rendered speechless by his silly question. They had already left Phoenicia, so how could she refuse now?

Although she didn't like the frontiers, she wanted to be with Nathan. If The genuinely wanted her to go with him, then she was willing.

But the situation wasn't what she had in mind. She only saw a competition of pride between Nathan and Oliver. Nathan hadn't brought her along out of sincerity. For a while, Suzanne remained silent before she said, "Nathan, I

Cheated on?

Nathan's eyes darkened, and he fell silent.

"You and Oliver are not on good terms, right?" Suzanne speculated, feeling somewhat upset.

She looked away to avoid meeting Nathan's eyes. "Is it necessary to disgust yourself by calling me

'Suzy' and making up lies to take me away, all just to spite him?"

Nathan smiled bitterly. He leaned back against the seat and asked in a clipped tone, "Why, are you worried about him?"

"I..." Suzanne was suddenly at a loss for words.

Nathan was the one she worried about. She didn't want him to torment himself, saying things that he didn't mean or doing things that went against his heart.

However, Suzanne's words got stuck in her throat. She remained quiet for a long time.

Nathan turned his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, dra You don't want to go, but someone is relentlessly chasing behi
