The Wrong Woman

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. can’t fit her into a stereotype just because of her family.”

“True.” Nathan looked at Oliver, his gaze sincere. “Wish us well.”

His tone was casual, but he was serious as he declared his claim Oliver.

Oliver’s eye twitched as he stared blankly at Nathan. “What did you say?”

“I didn’t inform you that I was getting married because we haven’t had our wedding yet. And since we’ve been friends for so many years, I’ve been hoping that you’ll give us your blessing,” Nathan said.

Oliver paled. He was put on the spot. “You loved Sally so deeply back then, and you were very devoted to her. You’re not someone whose heart is easily swayed by others. Sally’s my niece. How do you expect me to agree?”

Nathan knew that Oliver’s reluctance wasn’t actually because of Sally. It seemed that he would have to watch out for Oliver.

“As an adult, romance and ideals are not guaranteed. My grandmother picked Suzanne for me. Now that we’re married, I’ll have to take responsibility,” Nathan said meaningfully.

Oliver remained silent, even as his expression grew darker.

Nathan gently patted his shoulder. “I’ve got other things to do. Let’s meet again sometime.”

Having snapped back to reality, Oliver plastered a stiff smile on his face. “Alright, sure.”

He pushed his glasses up as he watched Nathan leave. A dark glint shone in his eye.

The stars twinkled high above the ship, cutting through the darkn of the night sky.

Now hungry, Suzanne exited her cabin and headed for the dining room. As she walked down the corridor, she overheard three oth women talking about Nathan.

“This is the first time I’ve seen General Morrison in the flesh.

Goodness! I thought the rumors were exaggerated. But I didn’t expect him to be even more handsome and imposing in person. His looks and figure are just incredible!”

“Me too, me too! I thought that he would be old because he’s a

general, but it turns out that he’s young and quite a looker. Oh, he’s just so charming! I don’t feel afraid anymore with him and his troops protecting us all.

“We definitely won’t have anything to fear. Our national arms are all manufactured by the Norvanian military themselves.

“Just look at how the other countries were shaking in their boots when the Edge Mark 1 cruise missile was launched a while back. With General Morrison around, all those evildoers will have to think twice.”

“But there’s already been a few deaths on board. It just feels so eerie now. I wanna get to shore and go home.”

“We won’t be getting to port that soon. The military is currently investigating everyone on board. It seems like they’re looking for something important.”

“What is it?”

“No idea, but someone did come and question me earlier today. I was at such a loss when they interrogated me since I had no idea what they were talking about.”

“Oh yeah, they questioned me too.”

“When will they be done? There are a lot of people here.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Probably in a few days.”

Suzanne was confused as she walked behind the three women. If military was conducting investigations, why hadn’t she been

questioned yet?
