The Wrong Woman
Chapter 501

Phoebe walked past Cole after she said her piece. Cole stood there, feeling sad and helpless. When he finally turned around, Phoebe was already far away.

Mila went into Nathan's office lounge and sat on the couch. She looked surprisingly calm as she stared at him.

Nathan got her a glass of water and sat beside her. "Take a sip and relax," he said gently.

After drinking some water, Mila put the glass down and waited quietly for him to explain. Nathan gently placed her hand on his thigh, stroking it. Mila unintentionally frowned, looking at Nathan's calm face and then at her hand on his.

"Do you enjoy touching my hand?" she asked.

Nathan sighed. "We're newlyweds, but you won't let me hold you, or kiss you, or even see you. And now you won't let me touch your hand?"

Mila suddenly realized she was being unreasonable. Her anger had stemmed from jealousy toward Fenna.

"If you want to hold my hand, go ahead. But don't you think I deserve a reasonable explanation for what just happened?" Mila asked softly.

Nathan looked at her and replied, "I'm not in a good mood right now. I'll explain when I feel better."

Mila sighed. She felt even worse than he did.

Jacob had mistreated her, but Nathan took his side. He even accused her of slacking off at work. But she knew she couldn't let her anger take over without knowing the whole story.

After a moment of silence, Mila gently kissed Nathan's cheek. "Are you feeling better now?"

Nathan smiled softly. "Somewhat. But I still feel like something's missing."

Mila knew exactly what he was thinking. She sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him.

Nathan was surprised initially, but then he eagerly held her close and kissed her deeply, full of longing and desire.

After their passionate make-out session, Mila felt a bit breathless. She looked into his intense eyes, feeling a bit dazed as she asked softly, "Is this okay?"

Nathan put his arm around her waist and softly brushed her cheek with his other hand as he whispered, "Spend the night in my room."

"I'm more than six months pregnant now. You're too strong, and it might hurt the baby," Mila said with concern.

Nathan smiled warmly, running his fingers through her hair, and affectionately teased, "Why are you overthinking?"

Mila blushed when she realized she was overthinking things.

They only had sex before she got pregnant, when she got Nathan drunk. He never tried to have sex with her once she got pregnant. She wasn't sure if her pregnancy was the reason or if he just wasn't interested.

Her cheeks reddened, and she looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I wasn't overthinking. Are you going to explain to me what just happened?"

Nathan noticed that she was about to feel upset, so he stopped teasing her. He hugged Mila and leaned against the couch.

Mila snuggled up against his chest. Feeling Nathan's heartbeat and the warmth of his embrace, all her jealousy and anger disappeared.

"Do you value your family or hydronium more?" Nathan asked gently.

"Family comes first," Mila replied without hesitation.

Nathan agreed with a hum. He whispered in her ear, "I'm setting a trap to catch an important target."
