Chapter 350

Chapter 350

Mila was frozen, her vision blurred by tears and her heart heavy with pain. It was then that she realized that Nathan had known all along.

Finding Mila had been a mission assigned to him by Donald, but he had pretended not to know her true identity.

Clinging to Nathan, Mila wrapped her arms around his waist and hid her face in his arms as she wept. "I'm so sorry, Nate."

Nathan closed his eyes and gently caressed her head. "I hope it's not because you don't feel anything for me, but because you have no other choice."

Mila sobbed so hard that she struggled to breathe. She couldn't say a word. She lost track of time as Nathan held her, finding solace in the warmth and comfort of his embrace. In his arms, she felt a deep sense of belonging and security.

She hated to let go and longed to stay in his arms forever. She had never felt so possessive and so desperate for Nathan before.

"General Morrison, we need to hurry." Cole's voice reached their ears.

Before Mila could react, Nathan had already released her. He walked away without a word or a backward glance. Though his demeanor remained solemn and dignified, his eyes hid unseen

tears.

On their way home, Mila was numb and disoriented. Her eyes were puffy from crying and they stung a little. She leaned back and decided to keep her eyes closed for the rest of the ride. Phoebe noticed Mila's gloomy state and wisely refrained from disturbing her during the journey.

Upon return to Hoffis Manor, Mila noticed a drastic change in the attitudes of Robert and the housekeepers.

It seemed that everyone was now aware of Mila's true identity, whether due to Zach's announcement or the spread of the word.

While most of the people had accepted Mila as a Hoffis, Loretta hadn't been able to come to terms with it. She locked herself in her room and refused to eat or drink for a whole day.

The next day, Loretta resumed eating, but she continued to lock herself in her room and refused to interact with Mila. Mila couldn't understand Loretta's attachment to the spy. It left. her deeply unsettled./

At noon, Mila and Zach had a meal together. Mila rested her chin on her absentmindedly with her food, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's on your mind?" asked Zach.

Mila sighed and seemed to be somewhat despondent. "Grandpa, Grandma has been shutting herself up in her room for three days. She still can't believe that I'm her granddaughter?" Zach responded with a gentle smile.

"How about I arrange a DNA test with her?"

"No, you don't have to."

"But Grandma-"

"She knows that you're her granddaughter. She just won't admit it."

Mila put down her fork and looked at Zach with a puzzled expression. "Why?"

Zach dabbed at his mouth with a napkin and leaned back in his chair. "Her love for you has always been deep. That's why it's so hard for her to accept that she'd mistaken someone else for her granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I don't get what you're saying." Mila sighed.

"You've always been remarkably bright and tended to be rational. Your grandma, on the other hand, had less formal education. She tends to be more emotional and can even be irrational at

times.

"You didn't like to deal with her since you were young," Zach explained in a gentle tone.

"I was never like that," Mila protested immediately.

"You were, maybe without realizing it." Zach laughed quietly.

Mila's love for both Zach and Loretta was unwavering. She couldn't remember ever disregarding Loretta's feelings.
