Nathan sat down on the lounge sofa, while Mila dragged a chair to sit in

under his name. In terms of assets, it’s currently within a manageable
scope.“For the past six months, Oliver has vanished without a trace, so there
hasn’t been a single word about your family’s whereabouts.”After speaking, Nathan silently looked at Mila as he awaited her
reaction.Mila still kept her head lowered. Her face became gloomy, and the
buttons on her coat almost loosened due to her fiddling.Nathan was uncertain about her thoughts, so he felt a bit anxious.

despicable tactics to defile you and then disappear. I hope General
Morrison won’t hold a grudge—”Nathan frowned as he interrupted with a more serious tone, “Defile?”
Mila felt bitter in her heart. While she pretended to be calm, she smiled
and nodded.Nathan’s face became even more gloomy. He snorted, “If I didn’t want
it, would you be able to force me?”Mila replied, “You obviously didn’t want it.”Nathan quickly explained, “That is because…” he stopped midway

and solemn.After that, he looked back at Mila. He angrily declared with utmost
seriousness, “I have only ever liked one woman, from the past to the
present. It will not change in the future.”
