The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 509

"I'm sure you'll find a way. Just try to make it work," Mila said.

She understood her discomfort with Fenna might stem from her insecurities, but she was also aware that loyalty wasn't enough to sustain a marriage. Mila would never feel safe as long as Fenna was around Nathan.

Nathan stroked Mila's hand and reassured her, "Mila, I've had assurances from Fenna that she won't interfere in our marriage. She's not a bad person, so you don't have to worry about her doing anything outrageous."

Mila's mood darkened. She pulled her hand away and wrapped herself in the covers. She turned away and closed her eyes.

"Take care of yourself and come back safely," she murmured.

"All right." Nathan felt her indifference and decided to say nothing more. He tucked her in, turned off the light, and left.

…

It was 5:00 am in Phoenicia. Soldiers from the military base surrounded Hoffis Manor. Everyone was jolted awake. Avery showed up dressed in thick pajamas and with her hair disheveled.

She stared at Nathan's imposing figure and asked, "What's going on? Trespassing in Norvania is a serious crime."

Cole flashed Avery a search warrant. She watched worriedly as armed soldiers entered and exited every room.

Nathan made his way to the couch and sat down. His expression was grave as he waited in silence.

Sitting opposite Nathan, Avery pretended to be calm and asked, "General Morrison, we haven't seen each other in six months. Why the sudden visit? And what's with all the theatrics?"

Nathan maintained his stoic look in silence.

Avery crossed her legs and assumed a seductive pose, with one hand resting on the back of her head and the other lightly tapping her knee.

She gazed dreamily at Nathan and smiled. "You're charming, but why don't you smile or talk more?"
