The Wrong Woman
Chapter 271

Mila said, "Phoebe, I'll stay at your place."

Phoebe replied helplessly, "But I've been staying at a hotel all the time."

Frowning, Mila was shocked by the information. Phoebe inched closer with a smile and asked, "What's wrong with your place? Can't we stay there?"

Mila mumbled in bitterness, "I divorced Nathan as 'Suzanne.' Since we're no longer wife and husband, I don't have a place to live now."

Phoebe blinked, looking at her calmly. "Well, you can buy a house for yourself since you're pretty rich."

Mila sighed, "This is Norvania, not Sunterland."

Phoebe slapped herself on the head and chuckled, "Gosh, I'm being silly. Your assets are in Sunterland.

"As Suzanne York, you'll definitely attract unwanted attention from the authorities if you transfer that vast wealth to Norvania."

Mila pressed her lips wryly. After a pause, she confessed, "Actually, I am in 600 thousand dollars worth of debt."

Phoebe looked surprised. "Who did you owe it to?"

"Nathan Morrison."

"Your ex-husband?"

"Yeah."

"Why did you owe him money?"

"I borrowed money from him because my friend needed to pay for her dad's hospitalization fees. Since I didn't have money, I paid for her using his card."

Phoebe shook her head. After heaving a long sigh, she took a seat beside Mila and remarked, "Mila, your friend could have borrowed the money for her dad from Nathan herself.

"Why did she have to make you do it instead? You're too kind, even when you lost your memory."

The light went out from Mila's eyes. She looked out of the balcony and mumbled dejectedly, "I'm not kind. In fact, I've sinned a lot."

"Look at you. You're at it again." Phoebe helped Mila up and said, "Let's go. We'll stay at the hotel for now."

When they walked to the entrance, they saw Nathan approaching them with an imposing air. His two assistants followed closely behind him.

Mila came to a stop. Phoebe was taken aback by Nathan's intimidating presence and froze on the spot.

Nathan and Mila's eyes met. They looked at each other tenderly. He went up to her and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Mila nodded and pressed her lips into a tight smile.

He explained, "I'm here to take you home."

She declined, "It's fine. I'll stay at the hotel with my friend."

Nathan glanced quickly at Phoebe before looking at Mila's soft and aloof eyes. He knew that she must have had other priorities from her past memories, and she decided to distance herself from him after making a choice.

He pretended to be fine and asked casually, "Is there a chance we could get back together in the future?"

She sank into silence. Her heart throbbed in pain.

He pressed on, "Do you plan to return to your life three years ago?"

She bit her lower lip and reflexively grabbed the hem of her shirt to suppress the rising pain in her chest. Feelings of longing and desire tormented her. Her rational mind cautioned her that there was no hope to get back with Nathan.

As an important chemist cum First Class System Engineer in the Sunterland Ministry of Defense, she would need to serve her country.

Alas, Nathan was the top gun in the Norvanian military Armament Division. Although the two countries weren't enemies, they had conflicting interests.

Nathan was overcome by heartbreak at Mila's silence. He asked softly, "Did you have someone you love from three years ago?"

She finally mustered a soft and painful reply, "I'm sorry, Nate."

He pursed his lips and smiled as tears welled up in his eyes. He'd never admit to crying over a romantic relationship.

Holding back tears, he turned to stare out of the corridor window. He could stop his tears from falling as long as he avoided looking at her.
