Nathan searched every possible place Suzanne could be in.Shovale, her mother's house, her old rented place—there wasn't a hint of her presence. She had disappeared without a trace.It'd only been a day, but he'd grown a lot wearier. The heart-wrenching pain he felt when he first left the country ten years ago had resurfaced with even greater intensity. At noon, an uninvited guest appeared at the Morrison Residence. A female lawyer had come as Suzanne's representative to settle matters regarding the divorce. In the study, the sun outside shone bright, and the room was airy. However, the atmosphere inside was depressing and suffocating. The lawyer, Lana Scott, placed a bank card and the divorce settlement agreement in front of him. "My client has already signed her name on the agreement. This bank card is yours, Mr. Morrison. She'll pay back the money she'd spent in installments."Nathan's expression was cold as he stared grimly at the document on the table. At the moment, his

"Let's talk." Nathan's tone was soft, and his gaze was laced with gentleness. Suzanne lowered her head. "My lawyer already informed you clearly. There's nothing to talk about between us," she replied.His fist tightened, and his voice hardened slightly. "You promised me," he said. "You said you wouldn't threaten to divorce again."She lifted her head and looked at him before replying angrily, "You also promised me you'd cut ties with Sally Hoffis.""I haven't been in contact with her at all," he clarified firmly.Upset, she clenched her fists. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. So, he was still so in love with her despite no longer being in contact?Nathan was all she could think about when she was on the brink of death. Yet, this man chose to save his unattainable crush, who could swim, and abandoned her.It pained her every time she recalled the memory. "Without Oliver, I'd be your dead wife by now," she choked out.Nathan grew panicked. "Without Oliver, I'd save bot

Nathan walked out of the small apartment with a gloomy expression. A cold and chilling gush of air was felt when he walked past Cole and Gilbert. The two had never seen him with such a desolate demeanor before. They thought they'd freeze to death from walking behind him and didn't even dare to breathe audibly.They obediently followed him downstairs, and after getting in the car, they drove away. In the backseat of the car, Nathan's expression grew colder every passing minute. He leaned against the seat and shut his eyes without saying a word.The atmosphere within the car became oppressive and icy—it was suffocating. The sound of a ringing phone cut through the silence. Cole felt like his phone was a hot coal in his pocket. Hastily, he fished it out of his pocket and answered the call for fear of disturbing Nathan at the back.A while later, he hung up and turned toward Nathan hesitantly.He wanted to make a report, but he was also afraid of provoking Nathan. After being c

Samuel shot her a cold laugh. "I had no choice. You didn't want to help me pay anything, and they were rushing me for the money. "I had no choice but to tell them my dear sister is the wife of a wealthy family. A bit of spare change from them was more than enough for me to pay off my debts."He continued, "This method worked wonders! Your in-laws are so generous. They helped me with half of what I owed in a snap. "Your husband is quite the character too. All I had to do was mention my brother-in-law is General Morrison of the Norvanian Military, and you would vouch for me. Then, everyone was willing to lend me any amount I desired."Samuel sounded ecstatic. "Your husband's name really carries weight! No one dares to mess with me anymore. If they do, I'll have my brother-in-law deal with them."Suzanne clenched her fists tightly. She was shaking with rage. Her face was steely as she warned him, "Samuel York, you bastard. If you continue using Nathan's name to scam people for mo

At noon, Suzanne was about to get changed when Sienna came in holding a dress. She handed it over to her and said, "Wear this.""I'm getting divorced, not getting married. Why would I put on something so nice?" Suzanne smiled resignedly while pushing the dress away.Sienna declared in full seriousness. "Exactly. That's why you should wear something pretty and pair it with a gorgeous makeup look so that you can sweep your husband off his feet. Make him regret it."She pushed back. "But I'm the one who's asking for the divorce. I'm the one that doesn't want anything to do with him anymore.""You might be the one that brought it up, but you only did it because he doesn't love you, no?"Suzanne was at a loss for words, feeling a stabbing pain in her heart. Sienna held the dress and advised solemnly, "Men are visual creatures. You look too plain most of the time, so it's difficult to stun him that way. Just doll yourself up for today. I promise you he'll be bewitched and beg you not
