The Wrong Woman

Chapter 15

Suzanne lowered her head and mumbled, “I thought you wanted to spend time with Sally.”

Her voice was quiet and cautious. But Nathan caught the trace of displeasure and grievance in it, and it made his heart soften.

He didn’t like that feeling. “I wasn’t going to,” he said coldly.

Suzanne took a deep breath and let it go.

He could drop her off if he wanted to. She could get him to finalize the divorce when they got home anyway and end her suffering.

Suzanne took a shower and changed her clothes. Then, she took her phone and handbag and followed Nathan to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The cafeteria was packed that morning. Everyone they passed greeted them politely.

“Good morning, General Morrison, Mrs. Morrison.”

Nathan didn’t return any greetings. There were just too many people.

In contrast, Suzanne greeted everyone who greeted her with a smile, saying, “Good morning.”

Everyone liked Suzanne, as she had been polite and friendly while she had been at the military base. Plus, she had been very helpful during the poisoning incident.

Suzanne made her way to a table and waited there while Nathan got them food. He came back with two servings of breakfast and placed one of the trays in front of Suzanne.
