The Wrong Woman
Chapter 352

Before regaining her memory, Mila had forgotten Nathan for ten years.

Yet, he had loved her selflessly for a decade and waited patiently for her. He was willing to keep waiting, even though there was no guarantee of success.

Mila's appetite disappeared. She stood up with her phone in hand and said, "Grandpa, take your time. I have something to take care of."

"Sure, go ahead," Zach replied.

Mila went into her room, closed the door, and sat down on the edge of her bed. She stared at Nathan's number on her phone. Her finger hesitated over the dial button.

She missed him terribly, even though it had only been two days since they had last spoken.

She longed for the sound of his voice, to know where he was and what he was up to. Normally rational and unaffected by emotions, she found herself struggling to control her feelings. Her finger unconsciously pressed the dial button.

Her heart was racing. Her nerves were on edge and her palms began to sweat. Soon, Nathan's soft voice came through, "Wanda, is something wrong?"

"Am I not allowed to call you if everything is okay?" Mila replied with a slight annoyance.

There was a silence on Nathan's end. Usually, Mila only called him when she needed something. He thought that maybe this time she just wanted to talk to him.

A smile spread across Nathan's face. "No, of course not."

Suddenly, Mila wasn't sure what to say next. She lay down on her bed and felt shy. Nathan remained silent while she couldn't find a suitable subject to talk about. They remained silent for a while. "Have you eaten?" Nathan broke their silence.

"Yes," Mila replied.

"Is everything all right with your grandparents?"

"Not so good with Grandma."

"Take your time with it."

"Yeah."

They fell back into silence. Mila remembered that Nathan was not much of a talker. She couldn't count on him to find topics to talk about.

"Nate, where are you?" Mila asked gently.

"Sudvilla."

"You didn't return to base?"

"My focus of work recently has been in Phoenicia. There's nothing urgent at the military base."

The sound of his deep, soothing voice filled Mila with a sense of satisfaction. Even a phone call could fill the void in her empty heart.

Right then, she seemed to understand why Nathan had been hoping she would call him. A phone call with no talk of work, just a simple greeting like the one now, could be a comfort to the soul. "Wanda," Nathan murmured.

"Yes?"

"Can we meet?"

Mila tensed up. She was staring up at the ceiling, her heart was pounding.

"My friends are coming over to Sudvilla for dinner this evening. You've already seen them. Will you come?"

Mila was nervous about meeting him alone, but the presence of other friends would ease the atmosphere, so she agreed, "Sure. What time?"

"5:00 pm. I'll send Cole to pick you up."

"Okay, I'll be there. See you later, Nate," Mila said with a smile.

"See you soon." Nathan was reluctant to hang up the phone.

Mila was the first to end the call. She got up quickly from the bed, feeling like a bird about to take flight with joy. She rushed to her closet in search of some nice clothes. Her heart had already gone with Nathan

By the time night fell, the garden of Sudvilla had already been set up with tables, food, and a barbecue grill.
