The Wrong Woman
Chapter 547

Mila was surprised by how quickly and ruthlessly Nathan had acted.

Back in the room, she sat in the wicker chair on the balcony. She gazed absentmindedly at the landscape before her. Countless thoughts poured into her mind.

She pulled out her phone and opened Nathan's chat. As she scrolled through, she looked at all the voice messages he had sent, none of which she had bothered to listen to. She only spared a glance at the text messages he sent.

Yet, curiosity led her to click on a voice message from a month earlier.

"Wanda, I'm truly sorry for what I did to you and our baby. I know I messed up. You don't have to forgive me, but please don't shut me out, okay?"

"The nurse told me you're struggling with breast engorgement, and I wish I knew how to help. I'm worried and outside your room, can I come in?"

"Wanda, are you feeling better? Can I come with you tomorrow to see our son?"

"Wanda, I made a mistake and I really want to make it up to you. Can you please tell me how I can make things right?"

"It's raining outside, so put on something warm. I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Reading late at night isn't good for your eyes. Turn off the light and go to bed early."

"I'm going on a business trip for three days. They're known for their wonderful apple pie there, so I'll bring you some when I return. Just let me know if you want anything else."

"Wanda, the strawberries in the garden are ripe for picking."

"I miss you. It's okay if you don't want to talk to me, but why are you avoiding me?"

"I went to the hospital to check on our baby. The doctor said he's getting better and will be able to come home soon. Shall we start to talk about the baby's name? Do you prefer the last name Hoffis or Morrison?"

"You're skinny enough, so please don't go on a diet or starve yourself. Eat more, and when you feel better, I'll take you to the mountains to watch the sunset."

"Wanda, the weather is getting warmer. Spring's just around the corner."

"It's been a hard month and I don't know how I got by. I've kept myself busy because I don't want to upset you at home."

"I never had any idea how bad the consequences would be if I broke my promises. I don't think I will ever dare to break another promise to you."

"I noticed Phoebe bought you cherries recently. I've planted some cherry trees in Sudvilla. I hope they will bear fruit next year. Then, we can pick them together with our son."

"I woke up at 3:00 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I miss you so much."

"Where are you? Why did you leave those people I sent to protect you?"

"Wanda, answer the phone."

"Wanda, where are you?"

"Answer the phone."

Mila looked at the calls she had been ignoring. Suddenly, she realized that silent treatment was perhaps the cruelest way to get back at Nathan.

It turned out that Nathan had been apologizing and admitting his mistakes all along, but he didn't understand what had upset her.

He didn't mind letting Fenna go. He just hadn't realized that it was Fenna that was bothering Mila.

Mila wiped the tears from her eyes and put the phone down. She leaned back in the wicker chair and stared blankly at the white clouds floating in the sky. She was lost in thought.

Just then, her phone chimed. She looked down at the screen to find a new message from Nathan.

"Wanda, I'll be entertaining some foreign guests tonight. I may be back late. Probably after 11:00 pm. Go to bed early."

Mila was tempted to reply. She typed "okay", but another message came in before she could send it.

"Sleep in the master bedroom, or I'll carry you there myself. I don't want to wake you."

His words sounded imperious, and Mila decided not to reply.

It was late at night. The room was shrouded in darkness, with only the moonlight filtering through the window.
