Nathan adjusted the coat before turning to where the voice came from. He was angry, and his gaze
was cold.
He was a bit confused as he questioned Fenna, "What''s with your attitude?"
Fenna seemed to realize her abruptness, so she regained herposure before walking toward
Nathan.
"Nate, aren''t you working overtime? I brought dinner for you," Fenna said.
Her gaze then slowly shifted to M. She wore an insincere smile and said, "I didn''t expect Ms. Hoffis
to be here too. I didn''t prepare an extra portion, sorry about that."
To M, this was a special situation. She adhered to the principle of not causing trouble, not offending
anyone, and treating everyone with kindness and courtesy.
She just wanted to safely get through each day.
M smiled as she replied, "It''s okay, Ms. Hudson. I''ll eat when I get home."
She swiftly unbuttoned the coat and took it off, not waiting for Nathan. Handing it over to him, she said,
"There''s no need for you to escort me."
Nathan''s expression turned grim as he was hurt by her.
“You two can eat and work. I won''t disturb you guys,” M said as she forced a stiff smile. She
pretended not to care, though her heart ached. She politely nodded to Fenna, then strode forward and
entered the elevator.
Nathan wanted to follow, but Fenna immediately grabbed his hand. She asked, "Nate, where are you
going?"
Nathan wore a cold expression on his face. He shook off her hand to catch up with M. However, he
was one step toote. The elevator door was already closed.
He forcefully pressed the door-open button, but there was no response. He was very anxious. After
pressing it several times, he rushed to the stairs. Taking three steps at once, he ran down the stairs.
M stood in the lobby on the first floor as she was waiting for Phoebe by the ss door. She ced
her hands in her pockets and looked outside at the dark sky.
Under the warm yellow streetmp, snowkes slowly fell from the sky, creating a lonely and beautiful
atmosphere. She felt a bit cold and difort in her heart.
She kept reminding herself not to cry during pregnancy. She needed to maintain a happy mood to
provide the best emotional environment for her baby.
Being sad, depressed, or crying in pain would be very irresponsible behavior toward the baby.
"Chubs..." Nathan''s anxious voice came behind her.
M turned to look at him.
Nathan ran up to her, panting. There was a sense of destion reflected in his eyes.
M pursed her lips and smiled. She pretended to be calm as she asked, "General Morrison, you
should go back. You really don''t need to escort me because Phoebe will be here soon. Besides, it''s
only about a ten-minute walk from here to my dorm."
Nathan tried to put the coat on her as he said, "Put this on."
She quickly took two steps back. She extended her hand to block him and replied, “No need. I''m not
cold.”
Nathan slowly took back the coat.

M was worried that Fenna woulde after them again. She urged, “You should go back. Ms.
Hudson is waiting for you."
Nathan slowly clenched his fists. His gaze was intense, and his voice was sharp. He suppressed his
anger and asked, "How many times do I have to say it?"
Puzzled, M asked, "Say what?"
“I have a woman I like. I don''t like Fenna,” Nathan said, stressing each word.
Ms heart trembled. She was inexplicably nervous, letting out a shuddering breath. She murmured, "I
know."
Nathan grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. He angrily asked, “If you know, why do you treat
me like this?"
M panicked. She lost her bnce and fell toward Nathan. She instinctively ced her hand on
Nathan''s chest.
When she confirmed that the man didn''t hurt the baby in her belly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, all the grievances came crashing down on her.
She had endured the painful early pregnancy stage alone and faced the difficulties of returning home
alone. Although without family and him by her side, she had ovee it.
