The Wrong Woman
Chapter 193

Half an hour later, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Sat at the edge of the bed, Suzanne looked over.

Nathan's hair was damp as he walked out in a white shirt and long pants. He looked refreshed.

His gaze was still warm, and her face warmed up at the sight. She hurriedly picked up the clothes beside her and headed toward the bathroom.

As she walked by him, he grabbed her arm.

Suzanne paused.

Nathan's eyebrows knitted together as his eyes slowly looked at the white dress in her hands. It was the dress she wore yesterday. After showering last night, she had washed and hung it up to dry.

At the moment, she was wearing Nathan's sleepwear.

"Don't you have any other clothes?" he asked.

She looked at the dress and said, "I washed it yesterday, and it's all dry now. I can wear this."

"Change into another."

"Why?"

He let go of her hand. He hesitated for a few moments, not knowing what to say.

Upon seeing his darkened expression, Suzanne guessed, "Do you think it's embarrassing for you if I'm seen in public in clothes like this?"

Nathan stared at her irritated expression and anxiously tried to explain, "That's not what I meant, I..."

There were many men in the military, but there were female employees too. When the soldiers' wives came to visit, they also dressed in sexy and attractive clothing. So why wasn't it okay for her to do the same?

Suzanne turned angrily and threw the clothes on the bed. "I won't wear it. Are you happy now?"

"I'll get someone to send over some clothes," Nathan said gently.

She proceeded to knot the corners of her shirt. It immediately became more stylish and made it fit better. Then, she picked up her phone and turned to leave.

He swiftly caught up with her and gripped her arm to pull her back. "Where are you going?"

"Morning run. Breakfast. Walk around," she snapped irritatedly. "Anywhere. I just don't want to stay here with you."

Her words were like a double-edged sword, hurting both the receiver and the person who said them.

His face immediately fell. There was a stabbing pain in his heart. He slowly let go of her hand as his eyes turned blank.

Suzanne left the room without a moment's hesitation. She walked out of the military base and strolled unhappily along the main road until she reached a bustling market.

It was filled with all sorts of shops and goods for sale. Local merchants were bustling about. It was extremely lively.

Suzanne snapped pictures as she walked about.

She headed to a boutique, bought a new set of clothes with local designs, and changed into them.

After an entire morning of sightseeing, she had taken a bunch of photos and bought some local art pieces.

She came across a small accessories stall and was stunned by the intricate and beautiful pieces displayed on the table. She couldn't help herself and reached for a pair of fake diamond rings. "Feel free to try them out if you want!" the owner of the stall said enthusiastically.

She picked it up and gently put it on her ring finger before lifting her hand to admire it under the sun. The ring wasn't the best quality, but it looked extremely nice nonetheless.

At that moment, she had mixed feelings. Her joy was laced with grief and sadness. She couldn't tell if she was upset. She just felt sour and claustrophobic.

"These come in a pair, and there's one meant for men too. They go for 20 dollars a pair. Would you like to buy them?"

She shot him a bitter smile before slowly taking it off and putting it back in the box. "I'm sorry, I don't need this right now."

The owner continued in high spirits. "20 dollars is a bargain. And they look really nice too."

Suzanne nodded apologetically at him again. "Sorry, I'll think about it for a bit more."

"15 dollars, I can't go any lower," he bargained painfully.
