The Wrong Woman

Suzanne knew that Nathan had entered the house.

Nathan was the youngest among his siblings, but his authority was apparent. Everyone feared and respected him. Even his parents had to listen to him.

Suddenly, his parents stood up excitedly and walked toward him with smiles on their faces. They casually walked past Suzanne.

His father, Gary Morrison, said joyfully, “Nate, you’ve finally found the time to come home!

His mother, Florence Lowe, was also filled with joy. “Let me get a good look at you, Nate. Have you gotten slimmer this past month?”

Nathan slowly pushed away Florence’s hands, which were cupping his face.

“Since you’re back, at least stay for a few days.” Florence could sense that Nathan was unhappy.

Nathan completely ignored his parents‘ words. He glanced at the people in the living room coldly.

He yelled at his siblings and their partners. “Whose appetite did my wife upset? Whose house did she stain?”

His wife? Suzanne trembled. She was shocked and moved by Nathan’s words.

She didn’t expect Nathan to yell at his family for her sake. The sadness and humiliation she felt were eased by his words.

Some of his sisters–in–law stood up nervously and tried to explain. But they shrunk back and looked at each other. They were too intimidated by Nathan to speak.

Gary was displeased by Nathan’s attitude. Since he was Nathan’s father, he reprimanded him. “Nate, these are your elder sisters–in–law. You should show them some respect.”

Nathan’s angry gaze shifted to Gary. He softened his tone but resolutely said, “Dad, do they even have the most basic courtesy and respect for others?”

Gary’s expression fell as he was at a loss for words.

Nathan’s elder brothers and sisters–in–law were the ones who were upset. He said they were disrespectful after all.

“Nathan, you’ve crossed the line.”

“That’s right. We were just talking about that woman for a little while. Did you have to lose your temper like that 7”

“Stop pretending, I bet you hate her more than we do.”

“I know, right? Saying we’re disrespectful for a woman like that

The living room descended into chaos.

It’s too upsetting”

Nathan finally understood why Suzanne didn’t want to live here. Even if he didn’t love her, he shouldn’t humiliate her like that.

He didn’t say another word as he grabbed Suzanne’s arin and walked away.

Florence went after him anxiously. “Nate, where are you going? Your brothers and sisters–in -law were just commenting about Suzanne. You shouldn’t throw such a huge fit.

“Your dad and I didn’t even say anything. Why are you angry at

us, Loo?”

Nathan helped Suzanne into the car. Then, he turned around to face Florence and said, Mom, I’m bringing Suzanne back to Sudvilla. I’ll come back to visit when I have the time.

“You just came back. Why are you leaving so soon?”

Nathan didn’t bother explaining anymore. He got into the car, and they were off.

The atmosphere in the car was stressful and depressing. Suzanne leaned back in her seat weakly and turned to the side to gaze at the scenery. She felt very depressed.

Nathan broke the silence. He said coldly, “I apologize for my family.”

Suzanne closed her eyes slowly. She felt a pang in her chest. Nathan apologized for his family because he was honest and honorable. But he was still very cruel to her.

At that moment, Suzanne’s voice was weak and faint. “Please, let’s get a divorce.‘

After hesitating, Nathan said, “Okay, we’ll get a divorce after Grandma’s 80th birthday.”

Suzanne was pained and relieved to hear that. With tears in her eyes, she muttered, “Thanks.

She turned her back on Nathan and looked outside the window. Melancholia bubbled NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

up within her. The scenery was bright and cheery, but she felt like the entire sky was gloomy

and depressing.

Suzanne felt like she was suffocating. Every breath she took felt painful.
