Mila was startled, and the memories came flooding back to her. She
realized that Nathan had gotten it all wrong from the very beginning.

embrace as if he never wanted to let her go.Mila was overwhelmed by his hug. She held onto his waist, feeling the

Nathan’s voice was full of emotion as he whispered in her ear, “And
what about after you got back? Why do you still treat me that way?”

did you have to get so close to Fenna? I would have kept it from you
until the baby was born if my pregnancy hadn’t been discovered.”

murmured, “How could you have been so bad?”Mila couldn’t help but find his accusation somewhat amusing. Her
