The Wrong Woman
Chapter 255

Fenna's words dripped with disdain. "I never imagined Nathan to create an image of profound romance yet treat marriage so casually."

Cameron's brow furrowed with displeasure. "Fenna, what's gotten into you today? Why the sharp comments?"

Suzanne felt a twinge of discomfort in her chest, bringing the conversation to a halt. She rose gracefully and uttered, "I'm sorry, I have something to attend to. I'll take my leave. Please, make yourselves at home."

"Don't worry about us, Suzanne. We're quite familiar with this place. We come here often," Cameron reassured, rising and checking his watch. "I believe Nathan should be returning home soon." Just as his words fell, the sound of a car pulling up outside echoed through the room.

Cameron turned toward the door. "Looks like Nathan's back."

Fenna quickly rose and hastened toward the door. Suzanne stood motionless, a strange weight settled in her heart as she observed Fenna's departure.

As Nathan entered, Fenna eagerly approached him. A gentle smile formed on his face at the sight of Fenna.

"Nathan, it's been a while." Fenna extended her hand.

Nathan shook it warmly. "Yeah Fenna, it has really been a while."

"Nathan!" Cameron strode over with his arms wide open, excitement evident on his face.

Releasing Fenna's hand, Nathan embraced Cameron tightly.

"After half a year not seeing you, you're already slacking," Nathan teased as he punched Cameron's chest lightly, his expression turning serious. "Haven't been keeping up with your training, have you?" Cameron draped his arm around Nathan's shoulder and led him toward the living room. "Let's focus on you instead. You've gone and gotten married without a word to me. Some brother you are!" Nathan glanced over and spotted Suzanne standing in the living room, her demeanor stiff, clearly displeased.

Releasing himself from Cameron's embrace, Nathan approached Suzanne. His gaze was intense and his voice soft as he said, "Chubs, let's meet my two friends."

Suzanne replied calmly, "I've already made my acquaintance."

Just then, Fenna approached with deliberate steps. "Nathan, I recall your disdain for those without self-worth.

"Yet here you are, keeping a mistress in a splendid abode, transforming her into a pampered woman of leisure. Do you see her merely as a pet?"

"So Nathan despised those without self-worth," Suzanne pondered.

Feeling adrift and uneasy, she questioned her value. Did she hold any significance in Nathan's eyes, or was she considered less than even a household staff member? Should she pursue employment? Nathan's countenance darkened, finally grasping Suzanne's underlying discontent. He guided Suzanne to sit while indicating the sofa opposite. "Please, take a seat.'

Cameron and Fenna settled across from them.

Cameron attempted a strained smile. "Nathan, ignore her. She's not herself today."

Nathan regarded Fenna seriously. "Fenna, Suzanne's situation is complicated. Her present lack of employment doesn't define her, especially given the emotional support she provides, which is invaluable. Be more mindful of your words in the future."

Fenna chuckled lightly. "Are you offended? You can't take a joke anymore, can you?"

Cameron intervened, "Maybe you should speak less. Every word you say seems to offend someone. I wonder how you've managed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Nathan turned to Cameron with an anxious expression. "How did it go? It's been six months. Any progress?"

Cameron sighed deeply, his hand resting on his head as he shook it. "It's a mess. They're all a bunch of opportunistic thieves."

"How much?" Nathan asked.

"600 billion dollars each," Cameron responded.

Nathan sighed in resignation, furrowing his brow as he leaned back on the sofa, noticing Suzanne's earnest attempt to comprehend the situation.

He gently clasped her hand, his tone soft and reassuring. "Cameron is a director at the Department of Defense Procurement. He's been negotiating for the past six months on the acquisition of advanced combat aircraft overseas."
