The Wrong Woman

Mila remained motionless. She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. But the more she tried to sleep, the more awake she felt. Mila was unaware of how much time had passed. She succumbed to exhaustion and gradually drifted into sleep.

She lost track of how long she had been asleep when she felt a gentle hand turning her body.

A man's careful touch trailed from her neck, moving cautiously as if afraid to wake her up.

While Mila was still half asleep, she felt herself nestled in the curve of an arm. Her eyelids were too heavy, so she didn't want to wake up.

She snuggled into the warm embrace. She adjusted to a comfortable position and drifted back to sleep.

In her dream, she felt a familiar scent lingering around, with a warm breath brushing against her face. She embraced the warmth and slept soundly. The next morning, Mila woke up in Nathan's arms.

As she opened her eyes, she realized she was nestled against him. Half of her body was draped over him.

Their sleeping position was extremely intimate.

She had clearly slept with her back to him last night.

Why did she always move a lot in her sleep? She felt annoyed rather than greedy to bask in his warm embrace. She quickly got out of his embrace.

Nathan was awakened by Mila's movements. As he opened his eyes, he saw her walking toward the door. She opened the door and left.

Nathan sat up. He lowered his head and covered his face with both hands before letting out a deep sigh.

Mila went back to her room to freshen up. After she changed her clothes, she grabbed her bag before leaving.

As she walked, she sent a message to Phoebe, "Are you awake? I have something to do this morning. Join me."

Soon, Phoebe replied, "I just woke up. Wait a moment."

Mila replied, "Okay."

Walking downstairs, Mila saw Fenna, Duke, and Layla chatting in the living room.

Duke greeted Mila with a warm smile, "Chubs, good morning!" Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Fenna and Layla's expressions became gloomy as they looked at Mila.

Ever since she resumed her identity as Wanda, any contempt against her as Suzanne in Morrison Residence had disappeared completely. Now, everyone treated her with endless affection.

Just like when she was a child, Gary

and Florence treated her like

e

daughter. All the siblings in Morrison Residence also treated her like t

sister.

Mila smiled politely in response to Duke's greeting. She replied, "Morning, Duke, Layla."

She ignored Fenna and didn't greet her.

Fenna also wore a stern expression.

Duke asked softly, "Why did you wake up so early today? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Mila shook her head and replied, "No, I have something to do later."

Duke pointed at the dining room. He said, "Go and have breakfast. Mrs. Seals made your favorite oatmeal, shrimp rolls, and—"

Layla interrupted irritably, "Why are you so talkative? Did she ask you to list the dishes?"

Duke's face suddenly turned grim as he felt reprimanded. He glanced at Layla in fear though he felt annoyed.

Then, he smiled at Phoebe who came down. He pointed at the dining table, inviting her to join the breakfast.

Mila knew that Layla disliked her, so she didn't want to make things

difficult for Duke. She gave Dubl nee

warm smile before walking toward the dining table.

After the staff brought breakfast, Mila ate quietly.

Soon, the rest of the family members started to wake up and join them.

Taylor was the first to come downstairs.

"Chubs, good morning!" Taylor greeted Mila with his loud voice when he hadn't even finished walking down the stairs.

He completely ignored the three people in the living room and then headed straight to the dining table. His smile was gentle and bright.

The three people in the living room greeted him, but he seemed not to hear them. His gaze was fixed on Mila who was at the dining table.

Raising her head, Mila wore a sweet smile. She greeted, "Taylor, good morning."

Taylor sat down in front of Mila. He showed concern, "How's your recovery?"

Mila replied, "I'm recovering well."
