The Wrong Woman

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 Mila, looking upset and cold. He walked over, feeling sorry, and took her hand to comfort her. "Don't be upset, Wanda. I'll make sure Fenna takes responsibility for this."

Cameron looked guilty and quickly apologized to Mila. "I'm really sorry, Wanda. Fenna accidentally damaged the painting. We'll compensate but can we discuss the price?"

Fenna looked nervous, biting her lip as she glanced at Mila.

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

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

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

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

"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'll come personally to apologize next time."

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

Tears filled Mila'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, Mila held onto him tightly, seeking solace 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," Mila 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.

Remember when that imposter Sally

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

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

Nathan's expression turned serious, his voice showing nervousness as he explained, "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?" Mila was stumped.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

"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?" Mila 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 Mila close and explained, "Actually, my decision to marry you back then wasn't solely because of Grandma's threat."

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