The Wrong Woman

Chapter 100

Upon entering the house, a few maids brought tea and snacks.

Nathan sat down and chatted with Florence for a while. But his mind

wandered and he found his gaze drifting toward the front door.

Florence soon noticed his lack of focus. “Nate, what’s wrong? Are your men still waiting outside?”

“No, they’ve gone back to rest.” Nathan snapped back to reality and took a sip of tea.

A pleasant fragrance filled the air. Nathan pursed his lips and paused.

Florence smiled. “Do you like it? Suzanne was the one who chose the tea, It’s a good tea. Also, it’s not easy to prepare this tea. Suzanne says the water temperature shouldn’t be too high as a higher temperature will make it bitter.”

Just hearing Suzanne’s name made Nathan’s heart skip a beat. He gently placed the cup down and cleared his throat. “Seems like you’re getting along well.”

Florence sighed. “That girl is quite simple-minded. She’s soft and

gentle in character, and she can do anything she sets her mind on. I sometimes wonder how an intelligent yet innocent girl like her has such an unsightly past.”

Nathan didn’t want to dwell on her past. He hummed. “What is she doing now?”

Florence said, “She went to trim the flowers. The flowers in the
