The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

That evening, Suzanne, Nathan, and Vera had dinner together. The table was silent as they ate. 

Suddenly, Nathan’s phone rang and disrupted the peace. 

He took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and frowned. 

Sally was video-calling him. 

It wasn’t appropriate to pick up her call with Suzanne and Vera at the table. Moreover, he still hadn’t had time to deal with Sally over what 

happened yesterday. 

Without hesitation, he rejected Sally’s call and texted her instead. “I’m busy. I’ll call you when I’m free.” 

With that, he placed his phone back on the table and continued 

earring. 

Vera glanced at him. “Have you been very busy lately?” 

“A little.” 

“With work, or with personal matters?” She pointed at his phone. 

“It’s not an important call,” Nathan explained. 

Right after he said that, Sally called again. 

Suzanne knew without doubt that it was Sally calling. She continued 

eating quietly, but her mood was ruined. 

Nathan glanced at her before rejecting the call again. 

Embarrassed that Sally’s call had disrupted dinner, Nathan served them both a bowl of soup each.

Suzanne was taken aback. She stared at the bowl of soup, unable to believe her eyes. In the past, she would’ve been ecstatic about this. 

Now, though, she did not feel happy at all. Slowly, she pushed the bowl away. 

Nathan frowned. He could see that Suzanne was still upset. 

He took a deep breath, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. He couldn’t seem to apologize. 

Relentlessly, Sally called again for the third time. This time, Vera grabbed Nathan’s phone quickly and answered the call. 

As soon as the video call connected Sally’s sobs sounded. “Nate, Suzanne has gone too far! How dare she touch my things? The drawer’s all messed up, and there’s a necklace missing. It costs a few thousand dollars. I don’t know if she has stolen it or not.” 

Vera’s expression darkened. 

Suzanne kept her head lowered. She gripped her knife tightly. The weight on her chest felt heavier. She found it hard to breathe. 

Nathan’s eyes darkened as well. He took his phone back quickly and saw that Sally was crying with her eyes closed. She wasn’t looking at her phone. 

“Who are you?” Vera snapped at the phone. “How dare you call my Chubs a thief? Chubs is honest and kind. She would never steal 

anything!” 

Sally stopped crying. She opened her eyes and stared at Nathan, who was simmering with anger. “Nate, is that Grandma’s voice? Are you at Shovale?” 

“Yes,” Nathan said with displeasure.
