Suzanne lowered her head and avoided eye contact.

“You had Sally make a trip down to the Norvanian Military a few days ago. Did she not return with you today?” Loretta asked.

“No,” he replied.

“Why didn’t you bring her with you?” she asked nervously. “It’ll be dangerous if she’s there without you.”

Nathan was silent.

Loretta paused before smiling joyfully. “Are I just back to deal with the divorce? You’re heading back immediately after, right? You didn’t want her tagging along since she’ll be exhausted from the trip.”

“Wait forin the living room,” he said gently.

Suzanne stared at him blankly.

“Please followto the study, Madam Hoffis.” He beckoned.

Loretta nodded and walked toward the study.

Nathan fixated his gaze on Suzanne for a brief moment before repeating, “Don’t leave. Wait for me.
