Another fine day dawned the next morning. Nathan was in the kitchen making breakfast. While


    Suzanne was sitting on the living room


    couch, scrolling through her phone.


    Suddenly, her phone rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number.


    Suzanne answered the call. “Hello.”


    Loretta’s voice came through on the other end of the line. “Ms. York, do you remember me, the old


    lady?”


    After a few seconds of stunned silence, Suzanne looked nervously toward the kitchen and lowered her


    voice. “Madam Hoffis, is there


    something wrong?”


    “I just wanted to ask if you and Nate had finalized your divorce.”


    “Madam Hoffis, I’m sorry, but we have decided not to get a divorce,” Suzanne exined gently.


    The other end fell silent. Sensing Loretta’s anger, Suzanne rified, The main reason is that Nate won’t


    agree to the divorce. I want to try to work things out with him again.”


    “Nate won’t agree to the divorce? Is this a joke?” scoffed Loretta.


    “Madam Hoffis, I’m truly sorry. I will not bring up the divorce with him again.”


    “You are the most shameless and conniving woman I’ve ever met! Do you realize that you’ve forcibly


    separated a couple who have been deeply in love for years?”


    Suzanne bore it in silence and said nothing.


    “Let me tell you again. Nate loves my granddaughter very much. He’s


    been loving Sally for at least 20 years!


    “You, a woman from the slums who has had a lot of stic surgery, do you think you can rece my


    granddaughter? Are you even fit?” Loretta snapped.


    Suzanne couldn’t stand it any longer. She covered her mouth as she stressed every word. “Madam


    Hoffis, I understand the love you have for your granddaughter, but I’ve got to tell you something..

    “First of all, I haven’t had any stic surgery. This is how I look. I consider myself lucky if my


    appearance matches Nathan’s preferences.


    “Second, it’s Nathan who refuses to get a divorce. He’s a Norvanian military general of high rank, and


    marriagews protect his interests. I can’t get a divorce unless he agrees.


    “Third, I don’t even deserve to bepared to Sally when ites to conniving. Don’t buy me off with


    your money. My husband is well-off enough.


    “Fourth, we will not meet again.” Having said that, Suzanne ended the call in a huff. She felt an instant


    relief after venting her feelings.


    She put the phone down and was get up from the couch when the phone rang. It was Loretta’s number


    again.


    Suzanne closed her eyes and breathed deeply before answering. She tried to keep her voice calm as


    she asked, “Wasn’t I clear enough?”


    “You shameless woman! How dare you hang up on me?” Loretta’s angry voice rose to a pitch that


    made Suzanne’s ears hurt.


    Suzanne slowly moved the phone away from her ear. She could still hear Loretta cursing at her.


    “And you dared to call my granddaughter conniving? Don’t you know yourself? You still dare to im


    that you haven’t had stic surgery.


    “I’ve been investigating you for a long time, and I know your


    background. Do you even deserve topete with Sally for a man? Just wait. I’ll make you pay for


    this!”


    Suzanne was just about to reply when the phone was suddenly


    snatched away from her. When she regained her senses, she saw Nathan frowning as he spoke into


    the phone, “Madam Hoffis, things


    are not as you think. Please don’t act rashly.”


    “Nate, tell me. What is Sallyckingpared to that insolent. woman?” Loretta demanded in an angry


    tone.
