The Wrong Woman

Chapter 41

Nathan was clad in a custom-made black tuxedo. Not only did it bring out the outline of his lean figure, but it also made him look elegant and refined. He looked extremely handsin it.

Suzanne could only stare into Nathan’s mesmerizing eyes. Whenever she saw him, her heart would start pounding wildly. She tended to freeze up as well.

Right now, she was so nervous that she didn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, a small frown graced Nathan’s features as he studied Suzanne’s appearance. A hint of disappointment flickered across his

eyes.

He respected Suzanne’s decision. That was why he didn’t force her to wear the dress, nor did he question her why she didn’t wear it.

“Have you met Grandma yet?” Nathan asked coolly.

Suzanne shook her head wordlessly in response. She was afraid that the trembling in her voice might betray her feelings of sadness and aggrievance if she were to speak.

Nathan was the type whose presence could reassure Suzanne

greatly. She wanted nothing more than to rely on him and vent her feelings to him. More importantly, she wanted to ask him for help.

Unfortunately, she had no right to do this.

Nathan’s expression darkened instantly. He murmured, “Are you planning to leave without seeing Grandma?”

Suzanne hung her head silently in response. It was her way of saying ” yes”.

Nathan let out a small, helpless sigh. He had no idea what Suzanne was thinking. So, he approached her and took her by the wrist.

His sudden action surprised Suzanne, prompting her to look up at him nervously. Confusion was written all over her face.

“You can leave once the banquet ends.”

The moment Nathan was done speaking, he led Suzanne toward the

crowd.

Even though they weren’t holding hands, Suzanne still felt anxious at the thought of being so intimate with Nathan. Her heart kept beating wildly the whole time. For sreason, she felt quite warm on the

inside.

Now that Nathan was with her, she no longer suffered from social anxiety. She felt a lot safer with him around.

Nathan took Suzanne to greet the guests. Whenever someone asked him who she was, he’d introduce her to the guest graciously.

“This is my wife, Suzanne York.”

It was just a simple sentence, yet Suzanne found herself feeling extremely touched. It filled her with so much happiness and warmth.

The thing was, Suzanne and Nathan would be getting a divorce after the banquet.

In that case, why was he still introducing her as his wife to everyone?

Meanwhile, all the guests were curious as to when Nathan had gotten married. They also wondered about the family that Suzanne had hailed from.

Whenever those questions arose, Nathan would change the subject smoothly.
