The Wrong Woman

At noon, while tending to Mila, the nurse remarked, "Your husband hasn't taken a break since early this morning. He's been sitting outside."

Mila remained stoic, showing no reaction to the nurse's observation.

As evening approached, the nurse finished helping Mila with her fourth meal and assisted her with washing up.

Unable to contain her concern, the nurse mentioned, "Mrs. Morrison, Mr. Morrison is still outside, keeping watch."

Nonetheless, Mila's expression remained unchanged.

In the following days, whenever Nathan entered the ward to visit her, Mila would pretend to be asleep.

Even if she had just woken up, she would use rest as a pretext to ask him not to disturb her.

On the day of Mila's discharge, Vera and Wendy arrived, leaving Nathan with little to do.

All he could manage that day was to drive and carry the luggage.

The vehicle made its way slowly toward the Morrison Residence.

In the empty courtyard in front of the house, Gary called for everyone from the Morrison family to gather outside and greet Mila.

While some were genuinely welcoming, others displayed disdain, their impatience evident on their faces.

Layla stood with her hands in her pockets, looking displeased as she observed the approaching vehicle.

Moving closer to Duke, she muttered under her breath, "It's just giving birth, what's the big deal? The baby is still in the incubator anyway."

Duke quickly covered Layla's mouth with his finger, signaling her to be quiet. "Shh, not now."

Daniel's voice broke through the tense silence, his tone cold and cutting. "Layla, hasn't the Morrison family always put on a show for you?

"From your child's birth to leaving the hospital, from their first birthday and every birthday thereafter, which day hasn't been grander than today?"

Layla's frown deepened as she shot a glare in Daniel's direction.

"It seems you're quite fond of Wanda Hoffis!" Layla remarked with a hint of provocation. "Unfortunately, she's now married to Nate."

Daniel remained unfazed, calmly stating, "Indeed, I do admire her. But the one who truly adores Wanda is Duke."

Layla's expression shifted suddenly.

Duke panicked and took her hand,

hastily explaining, "It's like the love

between siblings from when we

were kids. It's not what you're

thinking, honey."

Layla had always harbored resentment toward Nathan's wife, whether she was Suzanne York or Wanda Hoffis, jealousy had always been a factor.

Fuming, Layla shrugged off Duke's hand and stormed inside. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Duke turned to Daniel, venting his frustration. "Are you intentionally trying to cause trouble wherever you go?"

Daniel's expression grew serious as

Duke was left speechless by Daniel's words.

As Mila stepped out of the car, two maids hurried to take her luggage into the house.

Mila was touched to see her entire family coming out to greet her, but her joy quickly faded when she noticed Fenna standing next to Cole.

Given that Fenna was Nathan's assistant, it was expected for her to be present whenever Cole was around.

Her only course of action was to reclaim her heart and not place all her love on one man.

Regardless of how many ambiguous women were around Nathan, it had no impact on her.

Approaching her, he took Mila's hand and gently offered, "Let me help you inside, Chubs."

Nathan's hand tensed slightly, and his once bright eyes dimmed as he watched Mila walk past him impassively.
