The realization of Nathan’s worry about herte return without prior notice stirred a mixture of guilt and
nervousness within Suzanne.
Approaching Suzanne with deliberate steps, Nathan’s gaze held a depth that seemed to elude
comprehension. “Have you been out of town?” he inquired gently.
Suzanne’s heart skipped a beat as she watched him, her mind
swirling with questions.
“How would he possibly know? Could he have tracked me?” she pondered, though she had settled all
expenses at the hospital, leaving no trace of her whereabouts.
Observing her suspicious expression, Nathan’s lips curled slightly as he pointed to the departing

“No,” came Suzanne’s immediate reply.
Nathan felt a sharp pang in his heart at her firm response. Further questioning seemed futile. In a

With a tinge of disappointment, Nathan gently took her hand and led her back. “Let’s go inside,” he
murmured.
Suzanne was guided by his warm and steady grasp as they entered Morrison Residence. His touch

Nathan let out a soft sigh, a faint smile ying on his lips. His hands slid into his pockets, his voice
husky as he murmured, “Rest well.”
“Okay,” Suzanne replied softly, her lips pursed as she began to close the door slowly.
But before the door could shutpletely, it halted, caught on something.
Looking up, Suzanne saw Nathan’s hand holding the door. In the next instant, she stepped back in
surprise as he pushed the door open and entered the room. His tall figure loomed over Suzanne, filling
the space with his presence.
“You…” Suzanne’s voice trailed off as Nathan silenced her with a kiss.
With a swift motion, Nathan kicked the door shut behind him, then lifted Suzanne by her waist to his
level, pressing her against the door as his kiss intensified.

ground as he held her against the door, allowing her clueless hands to cling to his broad shoulders.
