Cameron was frustrated and stamped his foot. "Why did you have to touch someone else''s stuff? How will you fix this?"


    "I can only pay a few tens of thousands at most," Fenna said firmly.


    A voice from the doorway interrupted. "Just leave."


    Nathan turned and saw M, looking upset and cold. He walked over, feeling sorry, and took her hand tofort her. "Don''t be upset, Wanda. I''ll make sure Fenna takes responsibility for this."


    Cameron looked guilty and quickly apologized to M. "I''m really sorry, Wanda. Fenna identally damaged the painting. We''llpensate but can we discuss the price?"


    Fenna looked nervous, biting her lip as she nced at M.


    To M, the painting held immense personal value. She respected Cameron and understood his concern for Fenna.


    M realized that making Fenna pay would burden Cameron, especially since they were government employees with modest ies.


    Out of consideration for Cameron, M repeated coldly, "Just leave. There''s no need forpensation."


    Cameron forcefully pushed Fenna''s head down, prompting her to nod at M.


    "Thank you, Wanda," Cameron said while nodding solemnly.


    Through gritted teeth, Fenna questioned, "Cam, what are you doing?"


    After Cameron apologized, he escorted Fenna out. "Nate, Wanda, I''ll take her away first. I''m so sorry. I''lle personally to apologize next time."


    Fenna was forcefully pulled out of the studio, struggling against being dragged away.


    Tears filled M''s eyes as she walked toward the painting. She wanted to touch it, but the pain was too much, so she held back.


    Nathan''s heart broke to see her so upset. He went to her and hugged her tightly.


    With her eyes closed, M held onto him tightly, seeking sce in his embrace as tears flowed silently. She resembled her younger self-a gentle yet fragile soul who endured her pain alone.


    Nathan tenderly stroked her hair and questioned, "Why not confront her? Even if money isn''t a problem, you shouldn''t have to endure this disrespect."


    "I don''t want to cause trouble for Cameron," M muttered.


    Nathan smiled sadly. He gently kissed her forehead and sighed. "You''re just too good-natured and too easily taken advantage of."


    "I''m not always a pushover.

    Nathan looked concerned. He gently held her face and asked, "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"


    "You seemed to prefer that imposter then," M grumbled.


    Nathan''s expression turned serious, his voice showing nervousness as he exined, "I''ve only had feelings for you, Wanda. I just mistook her for you, but I never loved her."


    "But, back then-"


    Nathan quickly interrupted, "If I truly loved her, why would I have followed Grandma''s advice and married you?" M was stumped.


    "If I truly loved her, I would have married her outright. Am I that easily swayed by others?"


    "But weren''t you pressured into marrying me because Grandma threatened you?" M asked.


    Nathan had never opened up like this before, but now that they were married, he felt no need to hide his emotions.


    He pulled M close and exined, "Actually, my decision to marry you back then wasn''t solely because of Grandma''s threat."


    "Then, what was the reason?" M asked.
