The Wrong Woman

"There's something I need to explain to you," Nathan said. His breath grew heavy as he spoke softly against her shoulder.

"What is it?" Mila asked.

"Fenna and I aren't dating.”

Mila was stunned. She was at a loss for words. She had mixed feelings about it, and her thoughts raced in all directions.

She was unsure whether to feel relieved, happy, angry, or annoyed. But she could feel Fenna's hostility, and her tactics were a bit dirty.

As Mila's emotions settled down, her hands around his waist tightened. "Nate, Fenna told me you two were together.”

That was why Nathan felt it necessary to explain. Regardless of whether she loved him or not, he wouldn't let himself be in a helpless position.

As long as Mila remained unmarried and he was still single, he still had a chance.

"Yeah, Fenna mentioned it to me,” Nathan replied.

Fear lodged itself in Mila's heart. If Nathan had never explained, she would've always misunderstood.

If the misunderstanding was cleared up, Fenna would simply be seen as helping a friend vent. Fenna had explained first so that Nathan wouldn't blame her. So, women who could use such manipulative tactics with such righteousness still existed.
