The Wrong Woman
Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Suzanne knew he was pointing out that Sally was chasing after them.

Thinking of the affectionate moments between Nathan and Sally at the military base, along with Nathan's care and concern for Sally, extreme discomfort pierced her heart. Suzanne lowered her head and chose not to say another word.

Nathan gazed at her melancholic profile, and his deep eyes became somber while his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

A sense of uneasiness lingered within him as he wondered if she was that unwilling to be with him, and whether she was thinking about

Oliver.

After a brief internal struggle, Nathan couldn't bear seeing her distressed any longer. He asked at last, "Where would you like to get off?"

Suzanne bit her lip and a wave of sadness surged in her as she realized that in the end, he was letting her get out of the car.

"Anywhere is fine," she muttered.

In the front passenger seat, Cole hurriedly chimed in, "Madam, v on the highway; we can't stop the car."

Lucas, who was driving attentively, also couldn't resist interjectin Madam, come with us to the military base for a few days. Many people there are fond of you, especially the researchers from the research department. They often ask about your next visit."

Since her amnesia, Suzanne had only heard her grandmother expres fondness for her. Thus, when Lucas mentioned that many people a the base liked her, instantly brightened.

She leaned toward the driver's seat with a smile, asking, "Really?"

Lucas replied affirmatively, "It's true. Dr. Lawrence often mentions. you."

Taking the chance to find her way out of this uncomfortable situation, Suzanne declared, "Then I'll go see them!"

Lucas grinned at this. "Madam, this time, I'll teach you self-defense seriously. I won't play tricks on you like last time."

Suzanne snorted. Now that she was in a good mood, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she teased, "So, you're admitting that you intentionally messed with me last time?"

After interacting with Suzanne several times, Lucas found her to be gentle, generous, and tolerant. Hence, he laughed and said, "I apologize; it was my mistake. But I won't do it again. Whatever you want to learn, I'll do my best to teach you, madam."

Suzanne sighed softly. "But I don't have the strength."

Lucas responded warmly, "Strength can be trained. First, eat more protein-"

Before Lucas could finish his words, a stern voice came fro

"Focus on driving."

Nathan's tone carried a hint of anger. Lucas was startled and immediately straightened up, saying, "Yes, General Morrison."

He sensed jealousy from Nathan and didn't dare to continue c casually with Suzanne.

Meanwhile, Suzanne felt the relaxed atmosphere abruptly bec serious and oppressive.

Leaning back in the seat, she took out her phone and silently brow the Internet, sulking..

Suddenly, a gentle whisper sounded in her ear. "If you want to learn self-defense, I'll teach you."

Suzanne was taken aback. She looked toward the man beside her. Nathan's side profile appeared serious as he sat upright, staring ahead without shifting his gaze.

But she hadn't misheard; Nathan had indeed said those words to her.

Learning self-defense from Lucas was acceptable as she could focus on the training. Conversely, any physical contact with Nathan made her blush and her heart race. There was no way for her to control her actions and awareness, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Nathan.

After a moment of contemplation, she tactfully declined his offer. "No need, I don't want to learn."

Nathan responded impassively, "Okay."

He didn't speak any further, closing his eyes to rest.

Subconsciously, his hand formed a fist, and his chest felt constricted -making it difficult to breathe.

The strange discomfort made his mood extremely unpleasant.
