The Wrong Woman
Chapter 258

Nathan's fists clenched gradually as he suppressed his urge to speak out.

Undeterred, Fenna continued, "She knows nothing, incapable of contributing to your career or even managing daily life without relying on you and the maids. She's nothing more than a giant baby. "From what I've seen between you two, it's always you putting in the effort to show affection, while she remains emotionally distant.

"Is it merely her superficial beauty that captivates you? Are you content to have her decorate your home like a mere ornament?" Fenna's tone escalated with fury, her composure slipping away. "Or is it her prowess in the bedroom that lures you, leading you to become shallow and debased?"

Cameron froze, his complexion drained of color as he stared at Fenna. He had no clue what happened to his twin sister, Fenna, today and her sudden recklessness in front of Nathan. Nathan dabbed his mouth with a napkin, his face pale, his eyes gleaming with icy determination. He shared a brother-like bond with Cameron and a close friendship with Fenna.

Casting the napkin aside, Nathan's voice turned frigid. "You want to know why I married her?"

Cameron and Fenna fixated their gaze on Nathan, awaiting his response.

"Because I'm physically attracted to her." Nathan's voice tinged with anger. "That's why."

Fenna appeared perplexed. She shot a questioning glance at Cameron, who shrugged, indicating his equal confusion.

"To me, she's like oxygen. Even though she may not know or do much, I can't imagine life without her because losing her would suffocate me." With that explanation, Nathan left the table and headed toward the door.

In the past, he couldn't fathom why he felt a physical desire for Suzanne despite his love for Sally. Back then, when he was pressured by Vera to marry Suzanne, he didn't resist. Instead, he compromised and agreed to the arrangement.

Following their encounter, Nathan found himself not only comfortable sharing a bed with Suzanne but also devoid of any aversion to physical intimacy.

On the contrary, he was easily swayed by desire, finding himself increasingly drawn to her touch. It wasn't until he realized that she was the woman he had once deeply loved that he had his revelation. Having not seen his beloved for a decade, even forgetting her identity or mistaking her for someone else, upon reuniting with her after ten years, Nathan's heart and mind engaged in a rational struggle. Yet, at the moment his eyes met hers, he found himself once again physically drawn to her.

Nathan searched the garden in a frenzy but found no trace of Suzanne. His calls went unanswered, and even the security guard on duty confirmed that Suzanne hadn't left.

With a sense of urgency, Nathan retraced his steps, panting as he rushed back home. He dashed upstairs and pushed open every door in a flurry.

"Chubs! Where are you, Chubs?" His voice echoed with anxiety. In the bedroom, he found Suzanne's phone, but she was nowhere to be seen. Cameron stood up nervously as he observed Nathan's disarray. "What's wrong? Didn't Suzanne go out? Perhaps she's in the garden." Nathan's expression was fraught with panic as he hurried to the study. "No, she's not outside. The guard said she hasn't left." Abandoning their meals, Cameron and Fenna swiftly joined Nathan in the study to scrutinize the surveillance footage together.

Fenna frowned. "She just left a while ago. Could she have disappeared into thin air?"

Nathan's eyes reflected his worry as he focused on the surveillance software, his heart gripped by uncertainty.

Soon, the footage revealed Suzanne exiting the house and heading toward the garden pavilion. She disappeared from view in the unmonitored area and didn't reappear on the surveillance feed thereafter.
