The Wrong Woman

Chapter 128

Chapter 128

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.

Nathan’s brow furrowed as he reached behind his back to pry Sally’s arms off of him. But Sally was persistent and refused to let go. “I missed you a lot, Nate.”

“Nate, why didn’t you tell me you were coming home today?” Florence smiled at him warmly.

Nathan greeted the people in front of him politely. Every one of them beamed brightly at him, expressing their concern.
