THE WRONG WOMAN - Season 1 Episode 67

Suzanne hastily picked up her book again. Her face burned as her gaze flitted around the room.

Despite that, she still couldn’t stop herself from stealing glances at Nathan’s body.

She hid her face behind her book. For the first time, her voice cracked. “W-why didn’t you put some clothes on first?”

Nathan dried his hair with another towel. Once he was done, he

walked over to her.

“I’d have to take them off again after that. That’s too much trouble,” he said with a husky voice.

Suzanne understood what he meant and she was taken aback by this. Her innocent eyes met his dark ones, but she quickly averted her

gaze.

“Why do you have to sleep naked?” she asked, nervous.

Surprised, Nathan fell silent. He looked at Suzanne’s clueless, shy expression.

Oliver had said that she was faking her amnesia. So was she feig her lack of knowledge and inexperience as well?

As Nathan mulled over his thoughts, Suzanne hastily pointed at closet. “There are some clean clothes inside that closet. You shou

put them on.”

Nathan wryly pressed his lips together. It seemed that he had misunderstood her. Suzanne had never thought about this situation in a sexual light.

Exasperated, Nathan made his way to the closet and grabbed a set of pajamas. By the time he returned to the bed, Suzanne had already laid down with her back facing him.

He understood what was going on, and he didn’t want to force her.

Nathan had lost his temper that time Suzanne wanted to sleep on the floor. If he asked her for sex now, wouldn’t he be a hypocrite?

Thus, Nathan tossed all those thoughts into a corner of his mind. He turned the lights off after getting into bed. Instantly, the room went dark. Moonlight streamed in through the window, keeping the room. from total darkness.

Both Nathan and Suzanne’s breaths were heavier than usual due to

their nerves. It was especially stark because of the silence of the

room.

A while later, Nathan spoke up. “Do you know Oliver?”

Suzanne went stiff. She clutched the blankets tighter as she became nervous. Worried that Nathan would be bothered by her reaction, it took a while for her to finally speak. “We met today, but we don’t know each other.”

This made Nathan sigh in relief. He wasn’t sure why he felt this He smiled bitterly, but he didn’t continue to press her about Olive

Suzanne’s nervousness persisted when Nathan didn’t continue questioning her. Her thoughts ran a mile a minute as she lay ther the darkness. Worried, she tried to think of a conversation starter.

“Are you going to capture those pirates?”

“No,” Nathan replied.

“Then, did you and your men get on that ship to rescue Sally?”

“No. We didn’t expect to run into pirates during this mission. Nor did

we expect to run into any familiar faces. I was especially surprised to

see you.”

Suzanne also hadn’t expected to get on that ship either. Wendy had tricked her into getting on board, but she didn’t explain this to Nathan.

“Was it because you were searching for the hydronium, then?” Suzanne asked.

Nathan closed his eyes. Work secrets were something that he couldn’t reveal to her. “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

“Goodnight,” Suzanne said to him in a sweet tone, having understood his position.

That night proved to be long and torturous for Nathan. He couldn’t rid himself of his lust-it kept eating at his mind.

It was hard for him to sleep as he fought an internal battle.
