However, Suzanne’s appreciative words grated against Nathan’s ears harshly. The temperature around


    them seemed to drop below.


    freezing point from his icy demeanor. They locked eyes, but neither of them said anything.


    Suddenly, Sally’s voice came from the guest room, “Nate, I specially decorated the room for you. Come


    and see if you like it.” She walked over to Nathan and linked her arm with his.


    However, Nathan’s expression remained impassive as he pushed Sally’s hand away. He turned and


    walked over to the door of the guest room in silence.


    Sally took two steps toward Nathan. Then, she nced back at


    Suzanne and shot her a provocative smirk. She looked smug, if she had triumphed over Suzanne.


    Suzanne didn’t let her get away with her. She retorted, “Nathan moving in to sleep with you. What’s


    there to be proud of?”


    Sally waspletely dumbfounded when she heard Suzanne’s words. She never expected Suzanne


    to call her out and interpret he expression so directly.


    Nathan heard it as well. He turned to re at Sally.


    Sally forced an awkward smile and exined herself in a gentle voice, “Nate, I didn’t mean to. Suzanne


    must have misunderstood my

    intentions.”


    A look of disgust shed in Nathan’s eyes, and he walked into the


    guest room without saying another word. When Sally attempted to follow him, Nathan loudly closed the


    door in her face, leaving her standing outside awkwardly.


    Suzanne paid no attention to Sally. She returned to the master


    bedroom and closed the door behind her as well. It was the first time she realized how spacious the


    room was, and her restless heart felt just as empty.


    It seemed like something was missing.


    That night, Suzanne tossed and turned as her thoughts were filled with Nathan. She also thought about


    her true identity and the difficult path ahead.


    Previously, she had no direction. She was constantly in a state of self- doubt and confusion. Now, her


    goal was crystal clear. She had to uncover the truth.


    The next day, Suzanne got up as usual and washed up. After getting dressed, she came out of her


    bedroom and went downstairs for


    breakfast.


    In the dining room, the six feet long table was filled with thers of the Morrison family. Even Duke and


    La, who had move were back home. The atmosphere at the table was quite livel


    Suzanne noticed the sly smile on Lindsey’s face, and she had a ominous feeling that something


    unexpected was going to ha that day.


    Descending the stairs, Suzanne approached the table and greeted Nathan’s parents.


    ‘Suzanne,e sit down and have breakfast-”


    Florence turned to point at the chair beside Nathan, but her words ended abruptly when she saw that


    Sally had already upied it.


    Instead, Florence gestured toward a corner of the table awkwardly.” You can go and sit next to La.”


    La crossed her arms and put on an arrogant expression. She declined coldly, “Don’t sit next to me. It


    will ruin my appetite.”


    Upon hearing her words, several people present suppressed theirughter discreetly and watched


    Suzanne’s reaction with glee.


    Nathan was eating his breakfast with his head down. He paused for a moment before biting down on


    his food forcefully to stop himself from flying into a rage.


    Suzanne turned to Nathan with a hopeful gaze. Unfortunately, she was let down by his indifference.


    Nathan no longer defended her like he used to. He seemed to thoroughly despise her now!


    Suzanne felt a pang in her heart. She couldn’t put a finger on the loneliness and disappointment she


    felt.


    She walked to the other end of the table and distanced herself fro everyone. After she pulled out a


    chair and sat down, the staff broug out the food.


    Breakfast in wealthy families was avish affair. However, Suzanne noticed that her breakfast today


    was rather subpar. She only had two slices of dry bread on her te.


    She looked over at the others and realized her breakfast was vastly different from theirs. She was


    being treated differently.


    Just as Suzanne was peeking at what the others had, Lindsey spoke up pompously, “There’s no need


    to look at others. I instructed the maids to arrange this breakfast for you.”


    All eyes turned to look at Suzanne’s breakfast.
