Nathan seemed to be warming the milk, but he was actually trying to
calm himself. Mila’s presence had been unsettling to him.After sitting down, Mila removed her scarf and gloves before surveying
the room. She found that nothing had changed.The room remained spacious, simple, and organized. It perfectly
reflected Nathan’s straightforward and tidy personality.Nathan went over to Mila with the glass of milk and offered it to her.
Mila looked up at him and slowly accepted it. “Thank you.”Nathan felt a sudden sting of pain when he touched her cold fingertips.
She wasn’t warm enough even though she was bundled up.He sat across from her and watched her calmly. Mila felt a little
uncomfortable under his gaze. She took a sip of the warm milk to ease
her discomfort.The room fell silent, and there was tension in the air.Mila held the glass nervously and looked into Nathan’s quiet eyes.
“Everyone’s been talking about it lately, even Cole knows. Why didn’t
you ask me about it?”Bitterness crept up inside Nathan. He sighed before asking, “What
exactly do you want me to ask?”Overcome by guilt, Mila dropped her head.”Shouldn’t the baby’s mother be the one to inform me that I have a
baby?” Nathan asked. The source of thɪs content is Findɴovel.ɴet“I’m sorry,” Mila murmured.FindNovel.netNathan’s eyes welled up slightly at her apology, but he brushed it off.
“Since you didn’t want me to know, that suggests you don’t want me to
take responsibility for it. So, why should I go against your will?”
“Everyone says the child is not yours.” Mila’s heart sank.”I never doubted that.”A wave of warmth washed over Mila’s heart and her sense of guilt was
on the rise. She was deeply sorry for Nathan, but she couldn’t suppress
her anger about why he couldn’t stay away from Fenna. Ads by PubFuture
During the time of her memory loss, she had already been through the
complex entanglement between her husband and her husband’s
admirer. It was unbearable to live in a constant state of doubt, fear, and
suspicion.Mila still remembered how bitter that had made her feel. Even now, the
mere thought of it was enough to make her heart ache.She took another sip of the milk, then pursed her lips before saying,
“The baby is more than six months along now. It’s because of the baby
that I was able to return from Sunterland, not because I betrayed
Sunterland and escaped.”Nathan clenched his fists, his voice trembling as he asked, “Are you not
going to let me be the baby’s father?””You already are.””The baby is in your womb. I’m nothing without your permission,”
Nathan said in a self-deprecating tone.Mila thought for a moment before she said, “Fenna must have had the
wrong idea. She assumed the baby wasn’t yours because she thought I
was only four months pregnant.””Why bring her up? What does she have to do with the baby?””She loves you very much, so I didn’t want her to know that the baby
was yours. I kept it from you all this time because I was afraid for the
baby’s safety.””Fenna’s not that kind of person.” Nathan frowned in response.His words jolted Mila into clarity and instantly dispelled her guilt. She
took a deep breath and said nonchalantly, “Fine, I was letting myself
get clouded by what I suspected. I thought too badly of her.””You’ve come to tell me that even though the baby is mine, it has
nothing to do with me, right?” Nathan asked sorrowfully.Mila shook her head and looked at him heavy-heartedly. Despite their
calm conversation, she could see tears in his eyes. He was obviously
deeply hurt, but he held himself together.“I was going to wait until after the baby was born to tell you that it was
yours and to get married to you,” Mila explained.After setting the glass down on the coffee table, she gathered her
courage and continued, “Since I can’t keep it hidden any longer, let’s
get married, Nate.”
