The Wrong Woman

Chapter 20

Suzanne knew that Nathan had entered the house.

Nathan was the youngest among his siblings, but his authority was apparent. Everyone feared and respected him. Even his parents had to listen to him.

Suddenly, his parents stood up excitedly and walked toward him with smiles on their faces. They casually walked past Suzanne.

His father, Gary Morrison, said joyfully, “Nate, you’ve finally found the time to come home!

His mother, Florence Lowe, was also filled with joy. “Let me get a good look at you, Nate. Have you gotten slimmer this past month?”

Nathan slowly pushed away Florence’s hands, which were cupping his face.

“Since you’re back, at least stay for a few days.” Florence could sense that Nathan was unhappy.

Nathan completely ignored his parents‘ words. He glanced at the people in the living room coldly.

He yelled at his siblings and their partners. “Whose appetite did my wife upset? Whose house did she stain?”

His wife? Suzanne trembled. She was shocked and moved by Nathan’s words.

She didn’t expect Nathan to yell at his family for her sake. The sadness and humiliation she felt were eased by his words.
