Nathan’s hands curled into fists inside his pockets. Despite his difort, he still casually asked, “Was
this before she lost her
memories?”
“She’s faking her amnesia,” Oliver replied confidently. “She’s just pretending that she forgot everything
so that she can act like she doesn’t know me. All because she still can’t get over us breaking up years
ago.”
Suzanne’s words shed across Nathan’s mind. He had asked her if she had ever been in love.
Suzanne then answered that she had loved someone, but his heart belonged to someone else. They
wouldn’t have worked out.
Was she referring to Oliver?
Nathan took a deep breath. It felt like something was crushing his chest, but he couldn’t exin the
feeling. A momentter, he spoke again, “Her talent does not befit her birth family and experience.”
Oliver chuckled. “Definitely. She’s a league ahead of the others. can’t fit her into a stereotype just
because of her family.”
“True.” Nathan looked at Oliver, his gaze sincere. “Wish us well.”
His tone was casual, but he was serious as he dered his im Oliver.
Oliver’s eye twitched as he stared nkly at Nathan. “What did you say?”
“I didn’t inform you that I was getting married because we haven’t had our wedding yet. And since
we’ve been friends for so many years, I’ve been hoping that you’ll give us your blessing,” Nathan said.
Oliver paled. He was put on the spot. “You loved Sally so deeply back then, and you were very devoted
to her. You’re not someone whose heart is easily swayed by others. Sally’s my niece. How do you
expect me to agree?”
Nathan knew that Oliver’s reluctance wasn’t actually because of Sally. It seemed that he would have to
watch out for Oliver.
“As an adult, romance and ideals are not guaranteed. My grandmother picked Suzanne for me. Now
that we’re married, I’ll have to take responsibility,” Nathan said meaningfully.
Oliver remained silent, even as his expression grew darker.
Nathan gently patted his shoulder. “I’ve got other things to do. Let’s meet again sometime.”
Having snapped back to reality, Oliver stered a stiff smile on his face. “Alright, sure.”
He pushed his sses up as he watched Nathan leave. A dark glint shone in his eye.
The stars twinkled high above the ship, cutting through the darkn of the night sky.
Now hungry, Suzanne exited her cabin and headed for the dining room. As she walked down the
corridor, she overheard three oth women talking about Nathan.
“This is the first time I’ve seen General Morrison in the flesh.
This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Goodness! I thought the rumors were exaggerated. But I didn’t expect him to be even more handsome
and imposing in person. His looks and figure are just incredible!”
“Me too, me too! I thought that he would be old because he’s a
general, but it turns out that he’s young and quite a looker. Oh, he’s just so charming! I don’t feel afraid
anymore with him and his troops protecting us all.
“We definitely won’t have anything to fear. Our national arms are all manufactured by the Norvanian
military themselves.
“Just look at how the other countries were shaking in their boots when the Edge Mark 1 cruise missile
wasunched a while back. With General Morrison around, all those evildoers will have to think twice.”
“But there’s already been a few deaths on board. It just feels so eerie now. I wanna get to shore and go
home.”
“We won’t be getting to port that soon. The military is currently investigating everyone on board. It
seems like they’re looking for something important.”
“What is it?”
“No idea, but someone dide and question me earlier today. I was at such a loss when they
interrogated me since I had no idea what they were talking about.”
“Oh yeah, they questioned me too.”
“When will they be done? There are a lot of people here.”
“Probably in a few days.”
Suzanne was confused as she walked behind the three women. If military was conducting
investigations, why hadn’t she been
questioned yet?
